Same name, same 500ml bottle, different numbers. Fogmag 7 and 10 invite a closer look than simply choosing the lower or higher alcohol strength.

Start with the aroma of Seven

Tasting descriptions of Fogmag 7 mention Korean melon and flowers. A fresh aroma does not necessarily mean a thin drink. After smelling it, take a small sip and notice sweetness, acidity and how much texture remains.

Ten takes a richer direction

Fogmag 10 is described with yogurt-like creaminess and green-grape aroma. Its glutinous-rice proportion also differs from Seven’s. Yogurt and grapes are comparisons, so check the label separately for ingredients.

Keep the food the same

If comparing both, try them beside the same pancake or flat dumpling. Take small tastes and ask which you prefer with that food. You do not need a tasting vocabulary to notice a difference.

Choosing just one is fine

Read about Seven first if the aroma interests you, or Ten if you want a richer texture. There is no need to buy both. Check current sales information before planning a trip around finding either bottle.
