Product details
This Omija Makgeolli is a naturally fermented, unfiltered creation that celebrates traditional Korean craftsmanship while embracing modern expression. Made with organic medium-grain rice, sweet rice, wild fermentation starter (nuruk), and New York water, it is infused with omija berries—often called the five-flavor berry—and hibiscus flowers. The result is light to medium in body, refreshingly dry, and effervescent, carrying forward the brand’s mission of honoring heritage while producing small-batch offerings with distinctive personality. Best kept refrigerated or in a cool, dry space away from sunlight, it should be gently shaken before serving to incorporate its natural sediment.
Visually delicate with a soft pink hue, Omija Makgeolli offers an engaging sensory profile. Subtle salty, tangy, and lightly bitter notes of omija berries harmonize with floral hibiscus accents, balanced by bright citrus and a hint of pink peppercorn. Its effervescence and clean finish create a refreshing experience that pairs effortlessly with both light and hearty dishes. Whether enjoyed alongside Eggs Benedict, fried chicken, oysters Rockefeller, or BBQ ribs, it brings a vibrant lift and layered depth to any table.
