(Me)Milju: from buckwheat pancake to buckwheat drink
Liked the plain, savory character of Jeju’s bingtteok? (Me)Milju is a 12% takju described with buckwheat savor and a substantial texture.
How does it taste?
Grain and buckwheat, rather than fruit-like aromas, lead its profile. Consider it if a fuller texture interests you.
What pairs with it?
Try the idea with bingtteok, a thin buckwheat pancake wrapped around radish, such as those found through Boseong Market. Compare the same ingredient in food and drink.
