Description

Sijak (Beginning) is a 9% ABV honey-based carbonated brew from Gyeonggi-do, fermented from domestic honey with tartaric acid, diammonium phosphate, and yeast. Fine carbonation lifts the honey character into crisp, sparkling territory, while tartaric acid provides structural sharpness that prevents the sweetness from lingering. The overall effect is bright and refreshing despite the moderate proof, with each sip opening clean and resolving quickly. It fits naturally into meals with mixed banchan and smoky grilled cuts, where the effervescence cleanses the palate between bites.
