Han Jan Strawberry 750ML is a Korean soju-style flavored spirit bottled at 12% ABV (24 proof) in a 750ml format.

Production & Heritage

Han Jan — meaning "one glass" or "one drink" in Korean (한잔) — belongs to a wave of modern Korean spirits designed to make soju culture accessible beyond Asia. At 12% ABV, it sits squarely within the traditional soju alcohol range, far lighter than standard vodka. The strawberry expression uses fruit flavoring to complement the clean, neutral grain spirit base that defines Korean soju production. This lower proof point means the strawberry flavor takes center stage without the burn associated with full-strength spirits.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe strawberry dominates the nose immediately, followed by a light candy-like sweetness and a faint hint of clean grain spirit underneath. The aromatics are bright and uncomplicated.

Taste: The palate opens with juicy strawberry that reads more fresh berry than artificial. A gentle sweetness carries through the mid-palate, balanced by the spirit's light body and soft texture. The low ABV keeps everything easygoing, with no noticeable alcohol heat.

Finish: Short and clean, fading with lingering strawberry sweetness. There is virtually no burn, making it exceptionally smooth at this proof.

How to Drink Han Jan Strawberry

Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator or over ice — this is the traditional Korean approach to flavored soju, and the low ABV makes it ideal for casual sipping without dilution concerns. A Strawberry Soju Lemonade pairs the berry notes with fresh citrus for a refreshing warm-weather drink. A Korean Yogurt Cocktail (mixing Han Jan Strawberry with Yakult or similar yogurt drinks) follows a wildly popular Korean bar tradition. A Strawberry Soju Spritz — topped with soda water and a splash of elderflower liqueur — transforms it into a light, effervescent sipper.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Korean drinking culture at a casual gathering
• Lightweight cocktail mixing at summer parties and cookouts
• Drinkers exploring lower-ABV alternatives to traditional spirits
• Pairing with Korean fried chicken or barbecue nights
