Guamdaechu Makgeolli

구암대추막걸리

Guam Nongsan Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do steeps Korean jujubes (daechu) into a rice fermentation base, introducing an autumnal fruit sweetness that rounds out the makgeolli's creamy core. The jujube note is warm and mellow — dried fruit and brown sugar rather than fresh berry — giving each sip a comforting, almost dessert-like quality without actual heaviness. The generous 1,000ml format is made for sharing. Winning the 2010 national grand prize in the pasteurized makgeolli category confirms the formula's excellence. Serve lightly chilled with yakgwa (honey pastry) for a traditional Korean dessert spread, or alongside samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) where the jujube in both glass and bowl create a harmonious echo.
