Description

Nimome is an 11% ABV brew from Jejusaemju Brewery in Jeju, crafted with white rice, nuruk, Jeju tangerine peel (gamgul jinpi), and yeast. The tangerine peel is the signature element - it delivers a bright, zesty citrus fragrance that sits atop the mild rice-and-nuruk foundation without overwhelming it. The nose opens with fresh mandarin zest and a hint of chamomile from the nuruk, creating an unusually fresh impression for a traditional Korean alcohol. On the palate, the body is light-medium and approachable, with the citrus brightness threading through the midpalate while the rice base provides a soft, cushioning sweetness. The finish is clean and moderately short, with a citrus-peel dryness that refreshes. Winner of the 2017 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards Grand Excellence in the yakcheongju category. Serve at 8-10°C with hoe (raw fish) where the citrus lift complements the sesame oil and wasabi, or alongside light banchan where the drink's brightness adds a dimension.
