Description

Neurinmaeul Soju 21 (Slow Village Soju) is a 21% ABV distilled spirit from Gyeonggi-do, made with rice, purified water, ipguk (rice koji), enzyme preparation, and dried yeast. Despite some database classifications under makgeolli, this is a clear distilled spirit built on the Neurinmaeul (Slow Village) philosophy of unhurried, quality-focused brewing. At 21%, it targets the approachable end of the soju spectrum while maintaining the depth that traditional methods can deliver. The nose opens with clean steamed rice, a soft yeast-bread sweetness, and a delicate floral quality from the ipguk fermentation. On the palate, the body is light with a remarkably smooth, polished texture - the kind of refinement that comes from careful distillation and attentive water blending. The rice character is gentle and comforting, with a clean grain sweetness that feels pure and unadorned. The ipguk and enzyme contribute to a well-controlled fermentation that keeps the profile tidy without sacrificing character. The finish is moderate, clean, and softly warming, with a pleasant rice-grain whisper. The 375ml bottle is well-sized for dinner service. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature with a wide range of Korean dishes - from simple egg dishes and tofu preparations to moderately seasoned stews, or as a gentle table spirit that enhances rather than dominates the meal.
