Description

Pinesongju (Solsongju) is a 13% ABV cheongju from Pinesongju Brewery in Gyeongsangnam-do, made with 90% Korean white rice and 10% Korean pine needles and young pine shoots - a recipe recognized under the Food Master tradition. The pine component is substantial at 10%, and it transforms the drinking experience: the nose opens with a crisp, resinous pine-forest aroma that cuts through the typical grain softness. On the palate, the body is clean and light-medium, with the pine introducing a refreshing, slightly bitter green note in the midpalate that lifts and brightens each sip. The finish is dry with a pleasant piney tingle that lingers. Designated a 2015 Visiting Brewery. Serve at 8-11°C with jeonbok-gui (grilled abalone) where the pine freshness complements the shellfish's sweetness, or alongside memil-jeon (buckwheat pancake) where the earthy buckwheat and piney brightness create an aromatic pairing.
