JINRO Korean Soju Brand in the Philippines

I was watching Korean drama last Friday when I realized I only have one bottle of soju in the fridge. I knew from my heart that it wouldn't suffice because weekend for me only means Kdrama marathon coupled with whatever Korean food I could make from my humble kitchen, and of course, soju. I figured I need to refill my stock of my favorite JINRO - the most well-known and I must say, well-loved Original Korean Soju brand in the Philippines.

I know I am not the only one here in our country who have developed a palate for Korean Soju. As a result of our exposure to Hallyu or Korean wave, be it KPOP or Korean dramas and variety shows, we have somehow immersed ourselves into Korean culture. And truth be told, Korean food and beverages we usually see in our favorite Kdramas played a big part in that culture.

Personally, it was my exposure to Hallyu and some Korean friends that opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Korean food and drinks. Long-time readers of this blog know that I even started my own YouTube channel wherein I share some Korean recipes I have learned all these years. Now what I am going to share here on the blog is my love for Korean Soju - JINRO Korean Soju brand to be specific.

Jinro Korean Soju which is considered as the "World's #1 Selling Spirit" has always been the top choice when in comes to Korean soju. When JINRO Korean Soju maker, HITEJINRO opened its door to the Philippine market, it aims to provide the most authentic Korean Soju drinking experience to the Filipinos. No wonder it already garners a number of following here in our country.

Previously, I would just drop by nearby convenience store or supermarket to get a hold of JINRO Korean Soju. Now with the launching of Jinro Philippines' website, all we have to do is to browse through it and get details about Jinro Philippines' online promos, discounts, special offer, giveaways, press, and the stores - both physical and online - where we can buy Jinro Korean Soju.

My personal favorites among the variants that Jinro Korean Soju brand here in the Philippines are the Jinro Chamisul Fresh and the Jinro Chamisul Original. These two are part of the non-flavored variants which are great options if you are going to create soju cocktails. But even if you take it as it is, you can still expect the authentic flavor of soju we've come to love.

If you're the type who fancies flavored drinks, Jinro also offers flavored Korean soju. Currently, they have Jinro Grapefruit Soju, Jinro Green Grape, Jinro Plum, and Jinro Strawberry. These flavored soju are good too, hence, these are also constant in my stock of Korean Soju.

Soju in general can be paired with meaty and spicy dishes. If I am not feeling grilling samgyupsal, I would normally opt for my favorite Kimchi Jjigae because it is very easy to cook. It goes well with Jinro Korean Soju especially now that it's already rainy season. If I am feeling a bit fancy, well-made cheese board with variety of my favorite cheeses is also my best bet.

There are so much good things we can adapt from Koreans. Personally, drinking soju is one of those which I like because when done in moderation, it gives such good vibes to any occasion we celebrate with loved ones and friends or even during some alone time when all we want to do is to spend our entire day watching our favorite Kdrama.
