Sintanjin Brewery in Daejeon is a traditional maker producing classic makgeolli varieties including their popular Hata line.
하타
Hata is a 16% ABV traditional spirit from Daejeon's Sintanjin Brewery, crafted from a focused recipe of rice, rice ipguk, yeast, and water. This minimal four-ingredient approach yields a rounded, balanced profile where the fermentation does all the talking: no fruits, herbs, or supplementary grains complicate the flavor. The texture is smooth and the sweetness-acidity balance stays centered, making Hata a reliable table companion that adapts to whatever dishes surround it. At 16%, it carries enough weight to pair with grilled meats and seasoned dishes without feeling overpowered. Hata represents the quiet confidence of central Korea's Daejeon brewing tradition, where simplicity is the point.

독수리막걸리
Doksuri Makgeolli is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Daejeon, produced by Sintanjin Brewery using domestic rice with both baekguk and hwangguk koji starters plus yeast. The dual-koji approach sets it apart from single-starter makgeolli, layering distinct fermentation dimensions: baekguk contributes citric brightness while hwangguk adds umami-rich depth. The resulting texture is creamy and plush, with a rounded sweetness that avoids one-dimensional sugariness. Serve it slightly chilled with crispy jeon, fried chicken, or kimchi-forward dishes where a mellow, complex makgeolli can act as a comforting counterpoint.
