Korean Soju Culture · Korean Soju Heritage

Soju is a traditional distilled spirit with centuries of history in Korea. The method of naturally fermenting grains such as rice and barley before distilling dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty in the 13th century, and Soju remains the most widely consumed alcoholic drink in Korea to this day.

Sunhari Apple takes this traditional Korean distilled alcohol as its base and blends in fresh apple juice and apple aroma to create a modern fruit Soju. The ABV has been lowered to 12% — well below standard Soju (around 16–17%) — making it noticeably smoother and more approachable. Much like savouring a glass of wine, the Korean way is to pour it into small glasses and share it with friends.

For a European frame of reference: the grain fermentation and distillation process is comparable to vodka or schnapps, but the drinking style is closer to sherry or a fruit liqueur. It is best enjoyed well-chilled (4–7°C) served in a clean glass, when its flavour truly comes alive.

How to Enjoy It the Korean Way

On the Korean table, Sunhari Apple is the perfect companion to food. Serve it well-chilled in a small Soju glass (approx. 50ml) alongside these authentic Korean dishes.

Samgyeopsal
삼겹살
Korean-style grilled pork belly cooked directly on a tabletop grill. The bright, refreshing apple notes cut cleanly through the richness of the pork — one of the most beloved pairings in Korea.
Jeyuk-bokkeum
제육볶음
Spicy stir-fried pork marinated in Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste). The sweeter and more intense the heat, the more the apple's sweetness and coolness soothe the palate — a welcoming pairing even for those new to Korean spice.
Bulgogi
불고기
Korean-style grilled beef marinated in soy sauce, pear, and garlic for a sweet-savoury flavour. The sweetness of the marinade flows naturally into the apple notes, making for effortlessly smooth sipping throughout the meal.
Tteokbokki
떡볶이
Chewy rice cakes simmered in a spicy Gochujang sauce — a beloved Korean street food. The cool, refreshing quality of the apple Soju tames the heat, making this one of the most popular combinations among younger Koreans.
Kimchi-jjigae
김치찌개
A classic Korean home-style stew made with well-fermented Kimchi, pork, and tofu. A glass of apple Soju alongside the deep, fermented flavours and savoury broth elevates the entire meal.
Yangnyeom Chicken
양념치킨
Crispy fried chicken coated in a sweet and spicy Gochujang sauce. Just as "chimaek" (chicken + beer) is iconic in Korea, fruit Soju has become equally popular as a pairing — the apple aroma gently wraps around the bold seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What kind of drink is Lotte Sunhari Apple? How is it different from regular Soju?

Lotte Sunhari Apple is a fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverage (fruit liqueur) produced by Lotte Chilsung Beverage in Korea. At 12% ABV, it is comparable to a light European wine or hard cider. Importantly, this product is not a traditionally fermented Soju — it is a fruit liqueur made by blending diluted ethyl alcohol with apple juice (0.1%), apple aroma, and sweeteners. It therefore differs in production method from traditional Korean Soju or fermented Soju. The flavour is characterised by a sweet, light apple profile with minimal alcoholic bite, making it particularly popular among younger drinkers in Korea. Think of it as similar in category to peach schnapps or a fruit liqueur familiar to European consumers.

What allergens does Sunhari Apple contain?

Among the EU 14 major allergens, this product contains sulphites (sulphur dioxide). Those with a sensitivity or allergy to sulphites should exercise caution. The product also contains the artificial sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame-K, which require a "contains sweeteners" declaration under EU Regulation 1333/2008. Suitability for vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets has not been officially confirmed; those following strict dietary requirements are advised to contact the manufacturer (Lotte Chilsung Beverage) or the importer directly. This product does not carry halal certification.

What is the best way to drink Sunhari Apple?

Sunhari Apple is best enjoyed well-chilled. Simply refrigerate until cold and serve straight, or pour over ice. For a European-style serve, mix 1:1 with sparkling water for a light, refreshing spritz. A few drops of fresh lemon juice add a pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity. In Korea it is commonly enjoyed alongside Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), fried chicken, or Pajeon (Korean spring onion pancake), but it also pairs well with a European cheese platter or light finger food. ⚠️ For adults aged 18 and over only. Not suitable for pregnant women.

What are the main ingredients? Does it contain a significant amount of real apple juice?

The main ingredients are purified water, ethyl alcohol, fructose syrup, citric acid, apple juice (0.1%), natural apple aroma, and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame-K. The actual apple juice content is just 0.1% — a very small amount — and the apple flavour comes primarily from the added apple aroma. This distinguishes it from 100% fruit juice or traditional cider. The sweetness derives mainly from fructose syrup and the artificial sweeteners. Official calorie and nutrition figures are not currently confirmed; under EU Regulation 1169/2011, beverages with an ABV above 1.2% are exempt from the mandatory nutrition declaration.

How should Sunhari Apple be stored? Can it be kept after opening?

Before opening, store away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended, and chilling thoroughly before serving enhances the flavour. After opening, reseal the cap and keep refrigerated; ideally consume within 1–2 days. The alcohol content means the product will not spoil quickly, but if the drink has any carbonation, the flavour may change over time once opened. Keep out of reach of children.
