Description
From Soolsaem - an innovative Gyeonggi-do brewery in Yongin designated a 2017 Visiting Brewery, noted for its gin and fruit soju alongside traditional rice wine - Aimpeuri channels that inventive spirit into a 9% makgeolli built from rice, koji starter, and yeast. The aroma is clean and lightly aromatic: steamed rice with a mineral-floral note. On the palate, the body is medium-full and creamy with a well-integrated sweetness that builds gently, then fades to a balanced, slightly nutty finish. Serve at 8-12°C. Pairs well with yangnyeom-galbi marinated short ribs where the fuller body matches char and sweetness, or jokbal braised pig's trotters for a satisfying savory contrast.
