Description

Ilgop Rice is a 7% ABV traditional drink brewed in Seoul by Hana Brewing, using domestic non-glutinous rice, traditional starter (guk), and yeast. The name 'Ilgop' (meaning 'seven' in Korean) directly references its ABV, positioning it as an intentionally moderate, food-friendly option. The flavor profile centers on balanced grain sweetness - not sharp or aggressive, but steady and rounded, providing a smooth backdrop for Korean table dining. At 500ml, the bottle bridges personal serving and sharing, making it versatile enough for solo meals or small groups. The Seoul brewing origin gives it an urban craft identity, and the use of traditional starter rather than commercial enzymes signals a quality-focused approach. Pair it with everyday banchan and smoky grilled meats where its gentle grain character keeps pace without competing.
