A one-night-only soju tasting dinner has been scheduled in Hamilton, with Marble Korean Steakhouse confirming a guided dining experience centred on Korea’s most recognised spirit.
One-Night Soju Event in Hamilton
The Soju Tasting Dinner will be held on Wednesday, 14 January, offering guests a structured tasting format that combines education with curated Korean cuisine. The event has been designed as an intimate experience, focusing on the diversity and craftsmanship behind soju.
Guests will be served eight hand-selected sojus, each poured as a 15 ml tasting and paired with a bespoke Korean dish created specifically for the evening. The format allows diners to move through the tasting progressively, with each pairing designed to highlight the character of the spirit.
Exploring Korea’s Iconic Spirit
The curated soju selection spans traditional and contemporary styles, including Bekseju 100 Year Wine, Yangchon Chungju, Jinmaek Organic Distilled Wheat Soju, Morry Distilled Barley Soju, Neungiju Mushroom Soju, Hwayo 41X Oak Soju, Hondiju Jeju Citrus Soju and Wonmae Plum with Honey Soju.
Each spirit has been selected for its regional or stylistic distinction, offering insight into different production methods, ingredients and flavour profiles. The evening will be hosted by Marble owner Vanessa Devine, who will guide guests through the background, cultural context and tasting notes of each soju.
