Korean Makgeolli
Byeolsan Makgeolli
별산막걸리
Byeolsan Makgeolli earned its reputation before most drinkers even tried it: Grand Prize in the traditional raw makgeolli category at the 2020 Korea Liquor Awards, Best of 2020 distinction, and a 2021 Woorisool Quality Award. The recipe uses domestic rice with ipguk starter, yeast, and sugar-based sweetener, fermented in Gyeonggi-do at a moderate 6.5% ABV and bottled in an 800ml format that sits between the standard 750ml and 1L sizes. On the nose, the aroma is polished rice with a hint of vanilla and a clean lactic note. The palate is textbook-balanced: the sweetness arrives rounded rather than sharp, the body has enough creaminess to coat the tongue without becoming pasty, and the finish cleans up with a gentle acidity. What separates it from generic makgeolli is consistency — each pour delivers the same smooth, refined impression, which is why judges keep awarding it. Pair with pajeon where the oil and scallion flavors meet the drink's soft sweetness, or alongside braised dakdoritang whose spicy-sweet sauce echoes the makgeolli's sugar profile. The 800ml bottle is ideal for two people sharing over an extended meal.

Byeolsan Mulberry Sparkling Makgeolli
별산오디 스파클링 막걸리
Byeolsan Mulberry Sparkling Makgeolli is a 6% ABV sparkling rice wine from Yangju Doga in Gyeonggi-do, where domestic rice forms the creamy base and Korean mulberries (odi) layer dark-berry sweetness on top. Fine carbonation lifts the texture, making each sip feel lighter than the richness of mulberry and rice would suggest. The ingredients are straightforward — purified water, domestic rice, sugar-oligosaccharide blend, mulberry, seed nuruk, and yeast — with no artificial coloring, as the mulberry itself provides the distinctive purple-red hue. At 800ml, this is a generous sharing bottle that pairs naturally with crispy fried foods and fermented Korean sides.

Yutok Jatok
유톡자톡
Yutok Jatok is a 6% ABV makgeolli from Gyeonggi-do, produced by Yangju Doga using domestic rice, ipguk (cultured rice koji), potato, sweet potato, yuzu, yeast, and processed sugar. The yuzu addition is the defining aromatic element, delivering a bright citrus burst that lifts the entire profile above typical grain-only styles. Potato and sweet potato contribute a mellow, earthy body that grounds the citrus brightness. At 800ml and 6%, this is a generous-format session makgeolli designed for shared, relaxed drinking.
