Beotirang Cherry Red Yeast Rice

Description

Beotirang Cherry Red Yeast Rice is a 15% ABV makgeolli from Daejeon that combines domestic cherry fruit with red yeast rice (hongguk) for a deeper color and a distinctive grain-fruit interplay. The red yeast rice contributes subtle savory complexity beneath the surface, adding umami-like undertones that set it apart from purely fruit-flavored makgeolli styles. Cherry fruit brings gentle tartness that brightens the creamy rice base, while fructooligosaccharide keeps the sweetness approachable. The result is both playful and structured, offering enough character to stand up to spicy, crispy Korean comfort food.
