A 1444 water record
The Annals record Chojeong water, a temporary palace, and royal travel in 1444. They give a context of water and stay, not direct proof of today’s bottle or flavor.
A 2020 representational place
The current Chojeong Haenggung opened in 2020 as a reconstructed, representational space where the original precise site is unknown. This story does not state that Sejong actually stayed in this palace.
Reading an old recipe anew
Cheongju rural-experience tourism introduces Jangheedoga using Byeokhyangju instructions in Sangayorok as a clue for modern yakju and takju. Sejong Daewang Eoju Takju is a modern reinterpretation, not a drink Sejong consumed or proof an old recipe survived unchanged.
