Hana Makgeolli is the first US brewery dedicated to jeontongju, traditionally brewed Korean rice wine, founded by Alice Jun in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Takju is the flagship release, undiluted and wild-fermented on nuruk rather than a single cultivated strain, at 16% ABV — roughly double a typical commercial makgeolli, and built to correct the assumption that makgeolli is light and sweet.
Coarsely filtered, not polish-filtered, so the sediment stays in the glass: shake gently before pouring.
