Production & Heritage

Han Jan falls within the tradition of Korean flavored soju — light, fruit-forward spirits designed for social drinking. The name "Jan" (잔) translates to "glass" or "cup" in Korean, a nod to the communal pouring customs central to Korean drinking culture. At 12% ABV, Han Jan Passion Fruit sits in the typical range for flavored soju products, which are distilled or blended to a lower proof than Western vodkas and infused with natural fruit flavoring. The spirit is produced in Korea and positioned for the international market as an approachable, ready-to-enjoy option.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe tropical passion fruit leads immediately, supported by a light floral sweetness. There is minimal alcohol presence on the nose given the low proof.

Taste: The palate opens with pronounced passion fruit — tangy and sweet in equal measure. A clean, slightly viscous mouthfeel carries the fruit flavor through the mid-palate without excessive sugar or cloying sweetness. The low ABV keeps the spirit light and refreshing.

Finish: Short and crisp, with lingering tropical tartness. The finish fades cleanly, leaving a subtle fruity echo rather than any harsh alcohol burn.

How to Drink Han Jan Passion Fruit

Serve well chilled, straight from the refrigerator or freezer, in a small traditional soju glass or shot glass — this is how flavored soju is most commonly enjoyed in Korea. It also works as a versatile low-proof cocktail ingredient. Try it in a Passion Fruit Spritz topped with sparkling water and a lime wheel for a light refresher. Use it in a Tropical Soju Punch combined with pineapple juice and coconut water for a crowd-friendly batch serve. It also adds a fruity dimension to a Korean Yakult Cocktail, a popular Seoul-style mixed drink pairing soju with yogurt drink and fresh fruit.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Korean soju culture at a casual gathering
• Light summer drinking when full-proof spirits feel too heavy
• Adding a low-ABV tropical option to a home bar
• Pairing with Korean BBQ or Asian-inspired appetizers
