Description
The name reveals its story: 'snail rice cheongju' - made with pesticide-free rice grown in paddies where freshwater snails naturally control pests instead of chemicals. From Chungcheongnam-do, this 14% cheongju uses snail-farmed glutinous rice, regular snail rice, purified water, koji, and yeast with zero sweeteners. The sustainable farming translates into taste: the nose is remarkably clean, almost clinical, with a fresh-cut grass tone that conventional rice rarely shows. The palate is light and precise, with a faint lactic tartness and a midpalate sweetness that comes exclusively from the grain - no sugar, no oligosaccharides. The finish is brief and mineral, with a last note of wet stone. Designated a 2017 Visiting Brewery. Serve at 8-10°C with modeum-hoe (assorted sashimi platter), where the purity lets each fish's character come through, or with yeonip-bap (lotus leaf rice), a clean-meets-clean pairing.
