Munkok

Description

Munkok is an 8% ABV makgeolli from Gangwon-do, brewed by Mamaseupam Brewery with a carefully balanced blend of 13.19% glutinous rice, 6.90% non-glutinous rice, 2.07% nuruk, and 77.24% purified water. The dual-rice approach is intentional: glutinous rice provides the soft, creamy sweetness, while non-glutinous rice adds structure and a cleaner grain backbone, preventing the texture from becoming overly heavy. The precise nuruk ratio at just over 2% keeps fermentation controlled and the flavor profile clean rather than aggressively tangy. Gangwon-do's clean water supply contributes to the refined, smooth finish.
