Han Jan Passion Fruit 375ML

Han Jan Passion Fruit 375ML is a passion fruit–infused Korean fruit wine bottled at 12% ABV (24 proof) in a convenient 375ml format. What sets this expression apart from the crowded flavored-soju shelf is its production method: the alcohol derives entirely from fermented apple, with no added distilled ethyl alcohol — a genuine rarity among its retail peers.

Quick Facts: ABV: 12%  |  Origin: South Korea  |  Style: Passion Fruit–Infused Fruit Wine  |  Brand: HAN Spirits

Production & Heritage

HAN Spirits takes its name from the Korean tradition of sharing a drink — "Han Jan" (한잔) translates to "one glass" or "one cup," evoking the communal spirit of Korean drinking culture. Unlike most products in the flavored soju category, which rely on a diluted neutral grain spirit as a base, Han Jan Passion Fruit begins with a fermented apple wine foundation. Passion fruit flavoring is then infused into this base, producing a fruit wine that reaches 12% ABV through fermentation alone. The result is a structurally different product from conventional soju-style spirits, despite sharing shelf space with them in most retail settings.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet, tangy passion fruit dominates the nose immediately, followed by subtle citrus and delicate tropical floral notes. The overall impression is bright and inviting without any harsh alcohol edge.

Taste: The entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with bold, juicy passion fruit flavor taking center stage. As it develops across the mid-palate, gentle apple undertones and a Moscato-like sweetness emerge, balanced by the clean, lightly neutral fermented base. The natural sweetness never feels cloying, kept in check by the fruit's inherent tartness.

Finish: Crisp, light, and refreshing, with lingering passion fruit that fades cleanly. The low proof ensures a soft, easy close with no burn.

How to Drink Han Jan Passion Fruit

At 12% ABV, this drinks comfortably chilled straight from the bottle — no dilution needed. Serve it ice-cold in a small glass to mirror the traditional Korean pouring style, or over ice on warm days.

• Passion Fruit Spritz: Top with prosecco and a splash of soda water for a low-proof, tropical take on the classic spritz format.
• Korean Sangria: Combine with fresh sliced citrus, lychee, and sparkling water for a communal punch that highlights the fruit wine character.
• Tropical Paloma Riff: Mix with grapefruit juice, lime, and a pinch of salt for a bright, soju-style highball with real depth of fruit flavor.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Korean drinking culture over a shared meal
• Low-ABV cocktail experimentation at home

Spicy tteokbokki (rice cakes) benefits from the sweetness as a counterpoint. Grilled shrimp or prawns complement the tropical fruit notes.

Why Han Jan Passion Fruit?

The single most important thing to know about Han Jan Passion Fruit is that it is not built like its competitors. Where most flavored soju-style products start with industrial neutral grain spirit diluted to low proof, Han Jan derives its 12% alcohol entirely from fermented apple — a distinction that meaningfully affects both texture and flavor. The result is a smoother, more rounded mouthfeel and a fruit intensity that tastes less artificial than many alternatives on the market. For drinkers exploring Korean beverages beyond mainstream soju brands, or anyone looking for a genuinely fruit-forward, low-ABV option with real production integrity, this 375ml bottle delivers a credible and distinctive drinking experience.
