Heritage
Jinro Chamisul Strawberry is a flavored soju produced by HiteJinro, the world’s largest soju manufacturer and one of South Korea’s most iconic brands. Made using a multi-stage bamboo charcoal filtration system, this soju retains its clean, smooth profile even when infused with natural fruit flavoring. The base spirit is distilled from a blend of rice and starches, a process that has been refined for decades to ensure consistency and purity. Bottled at 13% ABV, Chamisul Strawberry is a part of Jinro’s flavored series, created for younger and global consumers looking for a gentler, sweeter take on traditional Korean soju. It offers the same clarity and drinkability that has made Jinro the top-selling spirit brand in the world, while introducing a fun, accessible twist for casual enjoyment.
