Review for: Making Makgeolli + Drink and eat

An incredibly exciting and interesting experience. Everything was perfectly prepared and thought out - we were the only ones in the class, a very nice girl told us interesting facts, answered all the questions, took photos and even gave me a small gift. In addition, we were able to make our own kimchi pancakes. In the end, we received a beautiful recipe and bottles of Makgeolli. It was one of the best experiences during my stay in Korea. Thank you for the knowledge, now I will try to cook it at home 😄I’m 200 percent recommending this class to visit

The teacher was great. We learned a little about Korean 술 (alcohol) and drank a little too! If you like brewery tours and winery tours this is a step up!

great experience learning about the background of makgeolli. The host was great and very informative. We enjoyed making the makgeoli along with the kimchi pancakes. we got to sample the different aging stages of the makgeoli also and go to take home a bottle since we would not be in Seoul long enough go take our own home. overall great experience and would defend recommend it. I’m excited to go home and make my own.

This was a great class in a very cute space. The instructor was so nice; we were late but she was still so kind to accommodate us! The class itself was very fun and informative, she had all the equipment needed set out already and explained each step clearly for us, as well as the history of makgeolli and the snacks that usually go with it. After making our makgeolli, she gave us tastings of different ages of makgeolli and it was very interesting to experience how a few weeks can drastically change the taste of the alcohol. This was honestly an incredibly enjoyable class and I'd love to come again when I come back to Korea!!
