Korean Makgeolli
Bolppalgan Makgeolli 7
볼빨간막걸리 7
But-Dream Brewery in Busan's Buk-gu district uses glutinous rice and nuruk to craft this 7% makgeolli — the lighter counterpart to their 10% expression. The glutinous rice base gives the aroma a toasted-mochi richness with faint vanilla and a clean mineral note from the purified water. On the palate, the body is medium and cohesive, with a rounded sweetness that stays compact rather than spreading thin. The finish is moderate with a pleasant chewiness from the glutinous rice starch. Serve at 6-10°C. Pairs well with tteok-galbi grilled meat patties where both share a glutinous textural affinity, or spicy jjambbong seafood noodle soup where the 7% body tempers chili heat.

Rice Pongdang
라이스퐁당
Brewed in Busan with glutinous rice, nuruk, epimedium (samjiguyeopcho), and licorice root, Raiseupongdang at 13% ABV is a botanical yakju that refuses to taste medicinal. The epimedium contributes a warm, faintly peppery spice that sits behind the grain sweetness rather than in front of it, while licorice smooths the finish into something almost velvety. The nose carries dried chrysanthemum and toasted sesame — unexpected but convincing. At mid-palate, the glutinous rice gives it a lightly viscous, almost chewy texture that clings gently before the herbs usher in a long, warm exit. Serve at 12-14°C alongside haemul-tang (spicy seafood stew), where the broth's intensity meets the drink's herbal warmth head-on, or with jokbal (braised pig's feet), where the collagen richness needs the peppery spice to cut through.
