Somsom Makgeolli

Description

Somsom Makgeolli is an 8% ABV craft makgeolli from Gangwon-do, distinguished by its minimalist ingredient list of only rice, nuruk, and water. Despite this simplicity, the higher alcohol content gives it notable depth and a fuller mid-palate presence compared to lighter makgeolli styles. The 375ml bottle is a compact format suited for one or two drinkers, and the creamy texture with gentle sweetness stays clean through the finish without turning heavy. Somsom represents the purist approach to makgeolli brewing, where quality ingredients and precise fermentation speak louder than added flavors.
