Kooksoondang – Ssal Makgeolli (750ml)

The milky, off-white, and lightly sparkling rice wine has a slight viscosity that tastes slightly sweet, tangy, bitter, and astringent. Chalky sediment gives it a cloudy appearance. The nose can include sweet rice and yogurt, and the thick wine has a milky, creamy mouthfeel. It has low to medium acidity thanks to the natural fermentation and no tannins since it is not made using grapes. As a low proof drink of six to nine percent alcohol by volume, it is often considered a “communal beverage” rather than hard liquor.
