Review for: Making Cheongju (Korean Rice Wine)+ Distilling Soju Experience

The owner explained the sake brewing process in English and even let me participate, trying my hand at spreading the rice and mixing the koji rice balls. I also sampled different types of sake, along with some snacks and fruit. The owner kindly took photos for me, and at the end, he let me choose my favorite sake and gave me an ice pack to take it home. After the explanation, there was a wait for the bus to Shimomura, so the owner graciously offered me coffee. Although getting to the village isn't the most convenient, it was definitely worth the trip!
