1. Boksoondoga
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
Boksoondoga, a Premium, Home-brewed Makgeolli Brand We brew liquor using our own traditional recipe that has been passed down from our grandmother. When I was little, villagers often visited our house. I remember my grandmother or mother treated the guests with liquor they made themselves. In return, the guests would give fruit or home-made food before leaving. So I thought people were very fond of our home-style rice wine and my parents enjoyed brewing the liquor. Not many makgeolli brands use nuruk, which is traditional Korean yeast. But my parents believed that nuruk was very important in brewing liquor. Another important part is the pot that keeps the rice drink inside for fermentation. We use traditional, large clay pots that have been used for 50, 60 and even 70 years. Visitors can actually tour the fermentation cellar at our brewery in Ulju. They are very curious about the jars and, often, impressed by them.

+ The modern feel brings a nice element to the traditional practices you will experience + friendly staff + accommodative - we visited with our infant and one of the staff members kindly offered to look after our baby so that we could participate comfortably in the program. This was such a wonderful gesture + learn how to make makgeolli using a basic method and you are allowed to take your mixture home to ferment and enjoy + the restaurant next door offered 4 types of korean food: bindaeddeok (green bean), pajeon (vegetable pancake), tteokbokki (spicy rice cake), odeng (fish cake on a stick) and bottomless makgeolli. + our tour guide was friendly , helpful and informative. (organised by UNIST) + the makgeolli truly is different to what I tasted before and worth boasting about. So good! + you can try some fermented rice tea as well which is just as good. + location is on the outskirts of ulsan and scenic. It is a good place to enjoy with friends and family. - there was nothing I disliked and will definitely do it again.
