Lotte Sunhari Green Plum is one of Korea's most popular fruit-flavoured soju drinks, with an alcohol content of 12% ABV. Soju belongs to Korea's traditional distilled spirit category, but this product is a diluted soju enhanced with green plum (Cheongmaesil) flavour and juice, resulting in a sweet and refreshing taste. While its ABV is similar to wine (typically 12–14%), unlike wine — which is a grape-fermented beverage — it uses ethyl alcohol distilled from grains and tapioca as its base. It is lighter and sweeter than Japanese sake, with a characteristic sweet-tart green plum flavour. It can be enjoyed in a way most similar to European liqueurs or fruit-flavoured spirits.

Yes, Lotte Sunhari Green Plum is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no animal-derived ingredients. It is also understood to be gluten-free. However, if you have gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease, we recommend confirming official certification with the manufacturer directly, in accordance with EU Regulation 828/2014 standards (below 20ppm). This product is not suitable for a Halal diet, as it is an alcoholic beverage with 12% ABV and has not received Halal certification.

Sunhari Green Plum Soju tastes best when served cold. Chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator and enjoy it straight, or pour it over ice in a glass. Mixing it with sparkling water or lemonade to create a light, refreshing cocktail is also a popular option. In Korea, it is commonly enjoyed alongside Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), chicken, and seafood dishes. For a European pairing, it goes well with light appetisers, sushi, or Asian fusion cuisine. Enjoy in moderation, and please drink responsibly as it contains 12% ABV.

The main ingredients of Lotte Sunhari Green Plum are purified water, ethyl alcohol distilled from grains and tapioca, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, green plum flavour, and green plum juice. Under EU food labelling regulations (Regulation 1169/2011, Article 16(4)), alcoholic beverages with an ABV of 1.2% or more are exempt from the mandatory nutrition labelling requirement. The absence of a detailed nutrition label on this product is therefore fully compliant with EU law. Please note that allergen labelling remains mandatory for all food and drink products, so if you have any allergies, always check the allergen information on the actual product label.

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and consume as soon as possible — ideally within 1–2 days. Over time, the fresh green plum aroma and flavour may diminish. Please refer to the best-before date printed on the product label. While the 12% alcohol content gives this product better preservation than regular fruit drinks, refrigeration after opening is essential. ⚠️ This product is an alcoholic beverage. Sale and service to persons under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited.
