Sejong Organic

Description

Joeunsul Sejong Brewery in Chungcheongbuk-do ferments organic white rice with cultured starter, yeast, and refined enzymes, then adjusts acidity with citric acid for a profile that is precise and predictable without feeling sterile. The nose is quiet — clean rice and a faint lemon zest note from the citric addition. On the palate at 13% ABV, the body is light-medium with an almost silky mouthfeel, and the sweetness sits in the background, letting grain character lead. The finish is short and tidy, resolving with a subtle tartness that refreshes. It earned the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award at the 2014 Regional Specialty Product Exhibition and was selected as a 2015 Visiting Brewery. The compact 375ml bottle is ideal for pairing with a single dish: try it alongside haemul-pajeon where the seafood's brine meets the drink's clean tartness, or with a plate of fresh hoe where the silky texture mirrors raw fish.
