Gamcheon: a soft-spoken bottle for boiled pork
Planning a pork meal in Busan? Gamcheon is a 6% bottle from Gangseo, described with gentle sweetness and a pear-like aroma.
How does it taste?
The profile is smooth without a heavy body. Pear and thin yogurt describe aroma and texture, rather than listing ingredients.
What pairs with it?
Consider boiled pork, such as the suyuk set associated with Yangsan-jip near Jagalchi Market. Check which drinks the restaurant actually serves.

The backstory
