  • MAKGOELLI(Unrefined Rice Wine)

    MAKGEOLLI is the traditional fermented liquor made from rice, water, and yeast as main ingredients, and its origins date back to the Three Kingdoms period. It's a drink enjoyed by the common people and has been part of the lives of Koreans for a long time. And it's consumed after finishing farming work, and is also an essential drink at events such as traditional holidays and ancestral rites. Before drinking, stir with a ladle or gently shake the bottle up and down to mix the sediment. In addition, MAKGEOLLI is rich in protein, low in calories, and rich in lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Recently, in addition to traditional methods, products customized to modern sensibilities, such as Fruit-flavored MAKGEOLLI and Carbonated MAKGEOLLI, have been released and are gaining popularity.
