Ureongi Rice Son Makgeolli

Description

Yangchon Brewing in Chungcheongnam-do crafts this 7.5% hand-made makgeolli from rice cultivated in paddies where freshwater snails (ureongi) replace chemical pesticides — a natural farming method that yields cleaner-tasting grain. Yeast and enzyme treatment create a plush, lotion-like mouthfeel, while stevia-based sweetening keeps the sugar impression delicate rather than cloying. The aroma is soft steamed rice with a faint grassy note from the eco-farmed grain. Mid-palate, a gentle lactic tang emerges before the finish resolves into mellow cereal sweetness. Pair it with dubu-kimchi where the silky tofu mirrors the drink's texture, or with jeon varieties where the crispy exterior needs a creamy wash.
