Rubus coreanus (also called Korean bramble[3] or Korean black raspberry, Japanese トックリイチゴ, Rubus tokkura) is a species of raspberry native to Korea, Japan, and China.[4] It produces edible berries (not true berries in the botanical sense) that are fermented into bokbunja ju, a Korean fruit wine (although the majority of fruit commercially grown for producing this drink are actually Rubus occidentalis, native to North America).[5][6][7][8]

The wine is called bokbunja (hangul: 복분자; hanja: 覆盆子) in Korean and cha tian pao (插田泡) in Chinese.
