Korean Fruit Wine
Masyeo Blanc
마셔블랑
Masyeo Blanc is a 12% ABV citrus fruit wine from Citrus Brewery on Jeju Island, built on mandarin juice with white sugar, liquid yeast, and careful sulfite stabilization. Jeju's subtropical climate and volcanic soil produce mandarins with a distinctive aromatic brightness, and this wine channels that terroir directly into the glass. The nose bursts with fresh tangerine peel, ripe citrus pulp, and a hint of orange blossom. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a juicy, sunny character that feels like Jeju sunshine in liquid form. The sweetness is present and friendly, but the citrus acidity provides a natural counterbalance that keeps the profile crisp. The finish is moderate and clean, with a lingering mandarin zest. The 750ml bottle is generous enough for group dining. Serve chilled at 7-10°C with seafood-forward Jeju cuisine where the citrus lift complements grilled fish and shellfish, alongside light cheese plates, or as a refreshing aperitif when you want a bottle with unmistakable regional identity.

Korean Traditional Drink
Hondiju
혼디주
Hondiju is a 12% ABV Jeju mandarin-based traditional drink from Citrus Brewery on Jeju Island, made with Jeju-grown mandarins, white sugar, citric acid, and sodium metabisulfite for stabilization. The name 'hondi' comes from Jeju dialect, lending the bottle a strong sense of place before you even take a sip. The nose is bright and unmistakably citrus — fresh tangerine peel, juicy pulp, and a clean, sunny warmth. On the palate, the body is medium with a smooth, rounded flow that carries the mandarin flavor naturally and evenly. The sweetness is balanced by citric acid's sharp lift, preventing the profile from becoming heavy or marmalade-like. The finish is moderate and clean, with lingering citrus zest and a gentle warmth. At 330ml, it is perfectly portioned for a meal or solo session. Serve at 8-11°C with grilled meats and Korean BBQ where the citrus brightness cuts through richness and fat, alongside a banchan-heavy Korean table where the fruit lifts savory flavors, or with Jeju-specific seafood dishes where the regional connection creates an authentic pairing.

Gwi Persimmon
귀감
Gwigam is a 25% ABV citrus spirit from Jeju, built on Jeju-grown citrus juice (gamgyul), white sugar, liquid yeast, steviol glycoside, potassium metabisulfite, and citric acid. The ingredient list reveals a modern, production-oriented approach rather than a traditional grain-based method, with the Jeju citrus as the defining character element. Jeju's tangerines and citrus varieties carry a distinctive bright, slightly tart sweetness that is immediately recognizable to anyone who has tasted the island's famous fruit. The nose opens with fresh Jeju tangerine peel, candied citrus, and a clean, zesty brightness that feels almost juicy. On the palate, the body is light with a smooth, accessible texture. The citrus sweetness is vivid and fruit-forward, with the tangerine character dominating — sweet, tart, and unmistakably Jeju. The sweetener integration (steviol glycoside) rounds the profile without adding heaviness. At 25%, there is enough alcoholic warmth to frame the fruit without burning through the citrus delicacy. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a pleasant citrus-peel freshness. The 350ml bottle is practical for casual drinking. Serve well-chilled at 6-10°C as a refreshing aperitif, alongside Jeju seafood dishes for a regional pairing, with light salads, or as a mixer base in citrus cocktails where the tangerine brightness brings genuine fruit character.

Sinrye Myeongju
신례명주
Sinryemyeongju is a 50% ABV citrus spirit from Jeju-do, distilled from Jeju-grown tangerines and citrus distillate. At 50%, this is one of the higher-proof Korean fruit spirits, a bold statement that concentrates Jeju's signature citrus into an intense, aromatic package. The dual-source approach — whole tangerines plus citrus distillate — suggests layered extraction: fresh fruit character from the tangerines and concentrated aromatic oils from the distillate. The nose is powerful and immediate — bright tangerine peel, candied citrus, a warm marmalade richness, and a subtle white-pepper spice from the high proof. On the palate, the body is medium-full with a smooth, oily texture that manages the 50% strength with remarkable poise. The citrus character is intense and multilayered: fresh tangerine juice brightness, bitter pith complexity, sweet orange-peel warmth, and a zesty vitality that keeps the palate engaged. Despite the sweetness of the base fruit, the spirit remains dry and structured. The finish is long, warming, and persistently citrus-forward, with a clean, bitter-peel tail. The generous 750ml bottle suits slow exploration. Serve neat at room temperature, or with a large ice cube, alongside grilled fish, spicy Korean dishes where the citrus provides relief, or citrus-based desserts.

Korean Soju
Jeju Gamgyul Soju
제주 감귤주
Jeju Gamgyul Soju is a 50% ABV tangerine distilled spirit from Jeju Island, produced by Citrus Brewery using Jeju-grown tangerine distillate and purified water. The ingredient list is strikingly minimal — tangerine spirit and water — which means the quality of the Jeju tangerine distillation must carry the entire product. The result is a high-proof spirit where citrus purity takes center stage: bright tangerine peel aromatics, clean acidity, and a surprisingly smooth finish despite the commanding proof. This bottle earned a 2023 Monde Selection Gold Medal, confirming its international-standard quality. At 750ml and 50%, it is a statement bottle for collectors, formal occasions, or measured sipping.
