Makgeolli: The Rich Heritage Of Korea's Treasured Beverage
Makgeolli, also known as "mak," is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a type of rice wine made from a combination of fermented rice, water, and nuruk, a traditional Korean fermentation starter. Makgeolli is often referred to as a "milky" or "cloudy" rice wine due to its slightly opaque appearance and creamy texture. It is typically low in alcohol content, ranging from 6% to 8%, making it a popular choice for social gatherings and a staple in Korean cuisine.
