Korean Traditional Drink
Seoju 16%
서주 16%
Odaeseoju Brewing in Gangwon-do blends domestic white rice with domestic potato, creating a 16% brew with an identity distinctly tied to the province's highland agriculture. The potato doesn't announce itself loudly; instead, it weaves an earthy, starchy depth beneath the rice's cleaner top notes, like a root cellar scent folded into grain warmth. On the palate, the body is medium-full with a smooth, slightly waxy texture that carries both sweet and savory tones without letting either dominate. The finish is moderate in length, resolving with a gentle potato-starch dryness that's unusual and compelling. Serve at 12-14°C alongside dakgalbi, where the spicy-sweet chicken needs a drink with structure to stand its ground, or with gamja-tang (pork bone and potato stew) for an echo of potato-meets-grain harmony.

Potato Wine 13%
감자술 13%
Odaeseoju Brewing in Gangwon-do returns with another highland-agriculture expression, this time pairing domestic white rice with domestic potato in a 13% clear wine. Where the brewery's 16% Seoju leans bold, this lower-proof version emphasizes elegance and drinkability. The potato's contribution is subtle but essential: a smooth, starchy mouthfeel that gives the mid-palate a pillowy quality rarely found in pure rice cheongju. The nose carries clean grain and a faint mushroom-like earthiness from the potato. The finish is quick and refreshing, with a whisper of mineral. The 700ml bottle is generous for table sharing. Pair it with memil-guksu (buckwheat noodles in cold broth) where the chilled, clean flavors align, or with hwangtae-gui (grilled dried pollack) where the smoky fish and the potato-starch smoothness create a satisfying combination.
