Description

Yangji Sool Gotgan in Yangyang, Gangwon-do brews this cheongju (clear rice wine) at 15% ABV using domestic rice, nuruk, and yeast - then filters to crystal clarity. The aroma is restrained yet elegant: white flower, polished rice, and a hint of green apple. On the palate, the body is silky and medium-weight with precise sweetness that never overwhelms, balanced by a fine mineral thread and subtle dried-herb complexity. The finish is long, clean, and slightly warming. Serve chilled at 8-12°C in a small cup to appreciate the clarity. Exceptional with hanjeongsik multi-course Korean dining, steamed sea bream (domi-jjim), or delicate vegetable tempura where its refined profile enhances without masking.
