Makgeolli Classes

Makgeolli like you've never had before

Our Makgeolli book will take you on an exciting journey of the history, traditions, and recipes of Korean Traditional Alcohol.
If you are new to Makgeolli or have tried it, but never had the knowledge or experience to make it, then you have found the right guide.
In addition, if you’ve only had commercial Makgeolli, I’m sorry, but you haven’t tried real and true Korean rice wine.

Can't find Nuruk? Then let's make it

One of the biggest problems for a Makgeolli brewer is finding Makgeolli’s fermentation starter called Nuruk.
Our step-by-step guide will get you to make your own Nuruk, which will also give it a more unique signature to your Makgeolli.

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.

Must Visit Makgeolli Breweries Logo
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.
