Korean Cheongju
Iljichun
일지춘
Iljichun is a 15% ABV cheongju from Nogeum Brewing in Gangwon-do, built on Cheorwon Odae rice — a cold-climate variety prized for clean, precise grain character — with a small addition of glutinous rice for textural roundness. Nuruk made from domestic wheat handles the fermentation, and the result is a cheongju that feels centered and defined: smooth, clean, and dry-leaning without thinness. The Cheorwon provenance matters here, as the mineral-rich Gangwon terroir gives the rice a crispness that translates directly into the final product. At 375ml, this is a contemplative pour intended for restrained Korean cuisine where the drink steps back and lets delicate food flavors stay in focus.

Iljichun 10
일지춘 10
Iljichun 10 is a 10% ABV traditional drink from Gangwon-do, brewed by Nogeum Brewing with Cheorwon Odae rice, glutinous rice, and nuruk. The combination of Cheorwon's prized Odae variety and glutinous rice creates a fuller grain character than typical light traditional drinks, with a grounded nuttiness that gives each sip substance. Nuruk fermentation rounds the body into a balanced, smooth texture that remains approachable at its moderate proof. It fits comfortably on a traditional Korean table alongside varied banchan and grilled meat.
