Boksoondoga Hand-crafted Makgeolli
About this drink
A hand-crafted makgeolli brewed in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, with Korean rice and old earthenware (onggi) jars that are 50 to 70 years old. The carbonation is not added artificially: it comes naturally from nuruk fermentation and rises in the bottle like champagne. The colder you drink it, the more refreshing it tastes, and as it warms the acidity becomes more distinct.
