About this drink

Gimpo Geumssal Takju, which produces Misaeng Makgeolli, is a brewery that has been making liquor for some 80 years as a third-generation family business in Gimpo, famous for its good rice and good water. Misaeng Makgeolli is made from Gimpo Geumssal rice, recognized as top quality. Instead of artificial sweeteners, it uses natural sweeteners that bring out the flavor of the liquor, and with neither acidity nor sweetness sticking out, its refreshing feel followed by bitterness is quite charming. Hold a sip in your mouth and strong carbonation wraps around your palate for a refreshing sensation. You can't feel any makgeolli grains; it is a clean-tasting makgeolli that keeps makgeolli's distinctive aroma.
