Kkumui Daehwa: fruit-like aroma, a bittersweet finish
Curious about peach- or plum-like aromas? This 10% Gwangju takju is described with soft rice sweetness followed by a little bitterness.
How does it taste?
The tasting profile brings together fruit-like aromas and savory rice. Peach and plum are comparisons; check the ingredients separately.
What pairs with it?
Consider a tteokgalbi dinner, such as Songjeong Tteokgalbi 1st Branch. The sweet-savory meat is a pairing suggestion, not confirmation that the venue carries this bottle.
