Shochu & Soju
How to choose shochu & soju
Flavour style
Choose original soju if you want a neutral spirit for mixing, or pick a fruit variant for sweet ready drinks.
Pack size
A single 350-375ml bottle suits one person, while a pack of four with glasses fits a small party.
Bottle volume
The 375ml bottles offer slightly more volume than the common 350-360ml ones, worth noting if you want fewer empties.
Colour cue
Look at the colour axis (grain/red or pink) to filter by look, but remember it tracks flavour style, not quality.
Category branch
All items sit under Liquor & Spirits and Alcoholic Beverages, so you are buying a spirit, not a flavoured cooler.
What's good
- Original soju in 350-375ml bottles gives a plain base spirit that pairs with food or mixes easily.
- Fruit-flavoured soju (grapefruit, green grape, strawberry and more) is ready to drink, with no need for extra mixers.
- Multipack bundles with glasses let a group sample four flavours from one box.
- Colour cues like grain/red or pink help you tell unflavoured from flavoured bottles at a glance.
Things to watch
- Fruit-flavoured bottles mask the neutral soju taste, which traditional drinkers may dislike.
- Multipack sets fix the flavour choice, so you cannot swap one for a different single.
- The smallest sizes (350-360ml) mean more bottles if you host a large group, since no bigger formats appear here.
- Pink or grain/red colour marks are label driven, not a sign of strength or quality.
Care & maintenance
Storage
Keep unopened bottles upright in a cool, dark cupboard.
After opening
After opening, seal and store in the fridge, and finish within a few days for best flavour.
Glasses
If your bundle includes soju glasses, wash them by hand to keep the surface clear.
Stock rotation
Use the colour cue on the label to rotate stock so older bottles get used first.
