  • If you're looking for a special traditional alcohol as a gift for Seollal, we recommend Hanjusagak from Hanjuyangjo, Beot-irang set from Seokiwonjujo, and a set of 5 miniature bottles from Godori Wine.
  • Hanjusagak is a 35-degree distilled soju with two glasses included, and the Beot-irang set from Seokiwonjujo offers original, cherry, and turmeric flavored makgeolli (Korean rice wine).
  • The Godori Wine 5 miniature bottle set includes red, rose, chungsoo, white, and peach wines, making it a great gift for those whose wine preference is unknown.

It's almost the Lunar New Year, right? Not only for the Lunar New Year, but also for every holiday, I think many of you must be wondering what kind of gifts to give. Today, I'm going to introduce some Korean traditional liquors that are good for gifts. If you are curious about special traditional liquors and their packaging, pay attention until the end!



Hanju Yangjo Hanjusogak 35 degrees

Source: Hanjuyangjo Smart Store (Hanjusagak 35 degrees 400ml Gift Set Distilled Soju 33,000 won)

Let me introduce you to Hanju Yangjo's Hanjusogak. It's a 35-degree distilled soju that comes with two glasses. They say it was fermented, distilled, and aged using Korean rice, nuruk (fermentation starter), and clean 100m underground bedrock water from Anseong. It is said to have a smooth taste and a rich aroma, so if you like traditional soju, you will definitely like it. The design, which recreates the seal work engraved on the stone in ceramics, exudes sophistication, and it also comes with a shopping bag with a design suitable for gift wrapping, so it's perfect for a gift!



Seokiwonjujo Beotirang Set

Source: Seokiwonjujo (Beot-irang Set [Cherry Turmeric Original] Premium Takju 12 degrees 500ml 39,000 won)

I would recommend Seokiwonjujo's takju (unfiltered rice wine) set. Seokiwonjujo is a traditional liquor made by carefully selecting only 100% domestic ingredients and fermenting naturally in earthenware for 100 days at low temperatures. The gift set includes original, cherry, and turmeric flavors. The original is smooth and has a clean aftertaste, the cherry is made with red rice and cherry fruit and has a good body, and the turmeric is said to be smoother with the addition of domestic turmeric. It goes well with meat, seafood, Korean, and Western food, so it seems perfect for a gift. If you have a preferred configuration, you can change it, so how about a special makgeolli (unfiltered rice wine) Beotirang as a gift?



Godori Wine Miniature 5-piece Gift Set

Source: Godori Winery (Godori Wine 5 Miniature Bottle Gift Set 35,000 won)

Let me introduce you to the Godori Winery's 5-piece wine gift set. They say they make wine with fruits grown by themselves. It includes miniature versions of Godori Wine's signature wines: red, rosé, cheongsu, white, and peach wines. Godori wine is said to be a wine that is fermented purely at the highest sugar content. Red wine has a blend of oak and fruit flavors that are good to enjoy with meat, while rosé has a rich strawberry flavor that goes well with salmon dishes and salads. Cheongsu has a dry, unsweetened taste and a deep aroma and citrus flavor that goes well with sashimi and other seafood. White wine has a rich acidity and a balanced sweetness, so it can be enjoyed with simple appetizers or without appetizers. Finally, peach wine has a soft and fragrant flavor. It is said to be sweet, making it suitable for an after-dinner drink or dessert substitute. If you want to give wine as a gift, but you don't know the recipient's preference, this is a good option as they can try various flavors.



Today, I introduced some traditional liquor gift sets that are suitable for holiday gifts. It seems like there are many delicious and special traditional liquors available nowadays, so there are many options to choose from. How about trying something new for your holiday gift this time? Thanks for reading today:)
