Production & Heritage

Han Jan produces a range of flavored Korean spirits that draw on the soju tradition — Korea's most consumed spirit category. While classified under the broad vodka umbrella for U.S. import purposes, Han Jan Strawberry sits firmly in the soju-style family, characterized by its low proof point and clean, neutral grain base. The strawberry flavor is integrated during production, yielding a spirit designed for easy drinking rather than high-proof intensity. Han Jan's lineup also includes Blueberry, Apple, Ginger, Lychee, Mandarin Orange, and Melon expressions, all sharing the same low-ABV profile.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe strawberry hits immediately, followed by a soft, candy-like sweetness and a faint grain undertone. The nose is inviting and uncomplicated, leaning toward fresh berry rather than artificial extract.

Taste: The palate opens with juicy strawberry flavor that carries a mild sweetness across the mid-palate. At 12% ABV, there is virtually no alcohol burn, allowing the fruit character to remain front and center. A light, almost watery body keeps the texture nimble.

Finish: Short and clean, with lingering strawberry sweetness that fades quickly. There is no bitterness or harshness, making it easy to sip continuously.

How to Drink Han Jan Strawberry

Serve chilled straight from the bottle, as is traditional with Korean soju — small pour glasses work best. The low ABV also makes it a natural cocktail ingredient without requiring significant dilution.

• Soju Yakult: A staple Korean combination — the strawberry flavor pairs naturally with the tangy yogurt drink for a creamy, fruity sipper.
• Korean Melon Ball: Combine with melon liqueur and a splash of lemon-lime soda for a playful, fruit-forward party drink.
• Strawberry Soju Spritz: Top with sparkling water and a squeeze of fresh lime for a low-alcohol refresher that stays under 8% ABV in the glass.

Best For

• Korean BBQ dinners where traditional soju pairings are expected
• Introducing friends to Korean spirits culture with an approachable starting point
• Low-ABV cocktail nights when full-proof spirits feel like too much
• Adding to a home bar's international spirits selection
