Description
From Baehyejung Doga in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do - a 2016 Visiting Brewery and winner of the 2019 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards Grand Prize in takju - Ugok Freshju is an unpasteurized 10% makgeolli of proven pedigree. The aroma opens with sweet rice porridge, ripe banana, and a faint yeasty lift from live fermentation. On the palate, the body is dense and creamy with a lush sweetness that deepens into caramel rice notes. The finish is surprisingly dry with a clean lactic bite. Serve at 8-10°C. Pairs beautifully with sashimi-grade gwangeo (halibut) hoe where the dense body stands up to wasabi, or crispy haemul-jeon where the live carbonation cuts through oil.
