REVIEW ON KOREAN JINRO CHAMISUL SOJU FRESH

Hi beautiful people,

Popular Kpop star, IU model for Jinro Soju for 2020.  In 2019, it was Irene from Red Velvet.

Jinro is the largest manufacturer of soju of 97% spirits sold in South Korea since 1924.  Traditonal soju is an alcoholic drink made from rice, wheat or barley while modern soju uses starches such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Today I am going to review Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh.

The history of alcoholic drinks comes from the distillation method developed by alchemists in Arabia during the 10th century.  Mongolians introduced Soju in late Goryeo to Korea.  In the 19th century, continuous distillation process was invented and so is the first alcoholic beverage plant.


PackagingJinro Chamisul Soju Fresh is filtered four times through bamboo charcoal carefully selected from environmentally clean regions in Korea.  This is one of the best original flavor of soju - Chamisul Original.  It comes in a glass transparent of bottle of 360ml, 200ml, 400 ml, 500ml, 640ml and 1800 ml.

No sure it is available in other countries but heard that it has temperature sensitive paper that turns blue once it is cold.  The curved label is in the shape of dew.

Soju is usually served at 8 to 10℃ and not frozen.
*Soju stored from the refrigerator is usually at temperature of 4 - 5℃.  
When you pour it to the serving glass it is usually 8 - 10℃.


Ingredients talk
The ingredients inside this bottle are water, rice and fructose.
참이슬 means "real dew".
Jinro use Finnish fructose, which is called ‘healthy sugar’ and is a plant-based sweetener.

The alcohol content is 17.2% which is quite high so one can get drunk if you drink a lot.  Also since it is a simple alcohol it can be used in mixer of cocktails or food with alcohol content.

Texture&scent :  It does look like clear water with scent of alcohol.  The nearest I can describe is the lighter version of dry Vodka.  It does have slight bitter after taste.  As none of my family could finish the whole bottle of 360ml, it is used in cooking now . To people that can drink it is like water.  It also the same scent as the Chinese cooking wine.

Review: It depends on individual preference of alcohol. As I am aging, my taste of drinks and alcohol changed too.  It is a pretty nice social drink if you are into higher alcohol or the scent of vodka or as mixed drinks.

Overall: Jinro Chamisul Soju Fresh is for someone just looking to try out Korean alcohol as Soju.

There is a hangover pill that you can check it out HERE if you are interested to look into something to protect your liver and just to reduce the severity of drinking too much alcohol in your system.
