Korean Rice Wine, Made with a Little Magic and Lots of Love
Step into the heart of Korean drinking culture with our Original Makgeolli (500ml Bottle) — a beautifully smooth, lightly sparkling rice wine that has been enjoyed in Korea for centuries. Naturally cloudy, gently sweet, and refreshingly tangy, this traditional brew delivers comfort, character, and authenticity in every sip. Made through natural fermentation and crafted to highlight the purity of rice and time-honoured techniques, this makgeolli is simple, honest, and deeply satisfying — just as it was meant to be.
