J&J Brewery

South of the capital city in Gyeonggi-do lies J&J Brewery, owned by Julia and Joohwi, who helm their small-batch distillery with a passion for both artistry and precision. A striking hot-pink copper distiller is the head-turning centerpiece of their open-concept brewery, its bold color sparked by the alchemy of their soju distillation.

Their source of inspiration is clear – from the walls adorned with art by renowned contemporary painter Ham Bo Kyung (who also designed J&J’s bottles) to Julia’s classical music background that harmonizes with Joohwi’s expertise in chemical engineering, their brewing process is a symphony of creativity. Each bottle label tells its own quirky story — beautiful at first glance with hidden layers of personality behind them.

Using only premium non-glutinous rice and pristine water, J&J crafts a sool that’s brimming with personality. Crisp and elegant, yet full of floral and fruity aromas, that come to life through a meticulous aging process. Their soju is equally captivating – full-bodied, rounded flavors that wrap around your palate, and sweep you off your feet.
