Sum Yum is New Zealand’s first kūmara-distilled Soju - crafted in Queenstown and bursting with fresh, kiwi flavour.
Sum Yum is a bold and playful New Zealand spirits brand created by Angels Share Spirits. It is the world’s first kūmara-distilled Soju, made in Queenstown using traditional Korean inspiration and New Zealand-grown kūmara. Distilled with glacial water and crafted for smoothness, it’s designed for good times and modern sharing rituals.
Available in a variety of flavours - including Original, Quince, Raspberry, Pear, and Sugar-Free - Sum Yum is more than a drink, it's a "soju experience." The brand embraces Korean tradition while infusing it with a Kiwi twist, making it ideal for social settings, chilled shots, or unique cocktail creations.
