Gyeongju Beopju rice makgeolli, before and after mixing
Can one bottle give you two impressions? Compare the clearer upper layer with a gently mixed pour of this 6% rice makgeolli.
How does it taste?
The clear pour is described as lighter; mixing brings more savory rice character and a softer, fuller texture.
What pairs with it?
Consider Gyori Gimbap or lightly seasoned beef yukhoe. Choose which pour you prefer beside the food.
