The Ultimate Pour for Your Korean BBQ Feast

Sure, grilled short ribs and spicy pork get all the attention — but the real hidden gem at Namoo? A perfectly chilled bottle of premium soju.

Specifically: Jinro Ilpoom — Korea’s top-shelf soju crafted from 100% rice and distilled with care. At Namoo Korean BBQ in Marina Del Rey, we offer it as a refined pairing for your sizzling table-side meats.

Because what’s a Korean BBQ night without a little soju magic?

🧊 What Is Jinro Ilpoom?

Not all soju is created equal — and Jinro Ilpoom proves it. This isn’t your quick-shot, high-proof college soju. It’s:

  • 🥂 Made from 100% rice

  • 🧊 Slow-distilled for smoothness

  • 💧 Crisp and clean, with subtle aroma

  • 🏆 Served chilled in style at Namoo

At 24% ABV, it’s strong — but incredibly smooth, making it ideal for sipping, clinking glasses, or sharing with the crew.

🥩 The Perfect Pairing for Korean BBQ

Korean BBQ is about balance. You’ve got rich meats, spicy sauces, and bold stews — and Jinro Ilpoom’s clean, elegant profile is the ultimate contrast.

Here’s what it pairs best with:

  • 🥩 Marinated Short Rib (Galbi) – balances the sweet + savory glaze

  • 🌶️ Spicy Pork Bulgogi – soju cools the fire

  • 🍲 Kimchi Stew – resets your palate between bites

  • 🥬 Ssam Wraps – the perfect sip to follow the perfect bite

  • 🍘 Rice & side dishes – it all flows better with soju in hand

And yes — soju drinking etiquette is a thing. Ask our servers and we’ll show you how to pour for others, receive with two hands, and toast properly like they do in Seoul.
