Free Resources for Makgeolli and Soju Lovers
Korea’s beloved distilled rice wine, Soju, is a favorite among both locals and tourists alike. It has become an integral part of Korean dinners and outings, making it nearly impossible to avoid. Many people enjoy complementing the spicy or oily flavors of grilled pork barbecue with a refreshing, ice-cold shot of Soju, chilled to perfection.
If you have taken our Makgeolli classes in Korea then you’ll remember that I mentioned there is not just one way of making Makgeolli.
In every province of Korea, hundreds of Makgeolli breweries are primarily situated in the countryside. The choice of these locations is often influenced by factors such as excellent access to water, sourcing specific ingredients from local farmers, and, most conspicuously, the limited opportunity to establish a Makgeolli brewery within Seoul due to exorbitant rent costs.
