Seoul Pink: liked the color? Meet the aroma
Once the pink color catches your attention, look at the aroma. Seoul Pink uses prickly pear and azalea, with floral, honey-like notes in its profile.
The description combines floral aroma, honey-like sweetness and soft rice texture with relatively light acidity. Honey is a tasting comparison.
Consider yakgwa pastries or mild cream cheese. Choose between pairing sweetness with sweetness or comparing it with a little salt.
