Gohyang Ginseng Makgeolli

Description

Chanumul Brewery in Incheon blends domestic rice (90%) with Korean ginseng (10%), building a 6% makgeolli where the familiar creamy body gradually reveals an earthy, bittersweet undercurrent. The 10% ginseng ratio is high enough to be genuinely perceptible — expect a warm, root-vegetable depth that emerges in the mid-palate and lingers through the finish — yet the rice keeps it approachable rather than medicinal. A 2010 Korea Woorisool Excellence Award in pasteurized makgeolli validates the balance. Serve at 8-10°C with seolleongtang (ox bone soup) where the ginseng warmth amplifies the broth's nourishing quality, or with pajeon (green onion pancake) where the earthy depth meets scallion sweetness.
