Brooklyn // USA
14% ABV

Historically reserved for the noble class, YAKJU is the precious clarified portion of a brew that captures the essence of sool in its purest form. At 14% ABV, the YAKJU is light in body, dry, refined, and bright with naturally occurring lactic acid. The YAKJU is a oyangju (5 stage fermented alcohol). Fermented over the course of 8 weeks, the YAKJU is bone dry with deep and intricate flavors of barley and grain.

About the Producer

Hana Makgeolli is a Brooklyn based producer of artisanal Korean rice wines. Sincelaunching in 2020, Hana’s sool is made to celebrate heritage and the labor of love. Hana Makgeolli was born from founder Alice Jun’s deep connection to Korean heritage and the joy of making makgeolli. After meeting John Limb in 2017, the two business partners setout to become the first domestic producer of traditional Korean rice wine in the US.

Inspired by the rich tradition of Korean brewing, they set out to craft a modern yet deeply authentic experience that honors Korean culture and brings sool to new audiences in delicious ways. By using only organic rice exclusively sourced from a family farm in California, and traditional brewing methodologies, Hana Makgeolli crafts makgeolli with complex flavors that showcase the rich depth of Korea’s sool tradition.

All of their cuvees are made with unpolished rice, filtered water, and nuruk – a traditional, wild fermentation starter. From their heavily sedimented, botanically infused magkeollis, to the more refined, carefully clarified Yakju, Hana Makgeolli produces an array of cuvees that demonstrate both the breadth and depth of traditional Korean alcohol production. All of their cuvees are best served cold, and all pair well with food.
