Jeju, the crown jewel of Korean tourism, is a treasure trove of unique travel spots. From the majestic Hallasan, the highest South Korean mountain, to the picturesque beaches and the emerald sea, the island is a paradise worth exploring. Many other small islands and attractions add a touch of intrigue to this beautiful destination.

As we eagerly await the summer holiday season, we have selected Korean liquors that perfectly capture Jeju’s unique characteristics.

Jeju Omegi Malgeunsul

Jeju’s specialty food omegi rice cake turns into clear yakju!

Jeju Omegi Malgeunsul is a type of yajku brewed with the island’s unique rice cake called omegi ttoek. The distinct sweetness and fresh, fruity aromas make it a savory delight. This yakju pairs well with fresh, lightly seasoned Jeju dishes, such as raw fish or steamed shellfish.

Suul Suup

Distilled soju reminding the fresh Saryeoni Forest Path

Suul Suup is a distilled soju that blends two of Jeju’s produce—aloe and tangerine. While aloe’s subtle sweetness and fresh taste of aloe are attractive and exciting, its texture, combined with the delicate aroma of tangerine, will please your senses. For the best experience, we suggest pairing this soju with Jeju pork belly and red-banded Jeju lobster.

1950 Jeju Tangerine Wine

Sweet and sour wine made by fermenting and aging Jeju tangerine

1950 Jeju Tangerine Wine is a harmonious blend of flavors, with a mysterious amber shade derived from fermenting the region’s high-quality tangerines. Aged in oak barrels, this fruit wine boasts rich and harmonious flavors, balancing deep sweetness with tangy acidity. Indulge in the perfect pairing of this unique wine with braised hairtail and mackerel, enhancing the flavors of both dishes.

Seongsanpo Soju

Clear soju representing Seongsan area

Seongsanpo Soju , crafted from Jeju’s clean volcanic bedrock water and rice , offers rice’s distinct flavors with a deep, cheongju-like aroma. Despite the strong alcohol volume of 25%, the soju has a clean aftertaste and is remarkably smooth, making it easily drinkable. Drink it with parboiled octopus, raw Spanish mackerel, or horned turbans, and you will have a great dining experience.
