Experiência de Fabricação de Makgeolli e Soju em Jeju

The Sool Brewing Experience in Jeju is an absolute gem for anyone curious about the island's rich drinking culture. Far more than just a tasting, this hands-on workshop immerses you in the art of traditional Korean liquor-making. Under the guidance of passionate experts, you learn about the local ingredients, the fermentation process, and the history behind Jeju's unique sool. You can learn and make your own Makgeolli! Joh was so professional he is so passoniate, he let us sample the brewary liquor product as well! Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Jeju! The handsome Joh was very funny, entertaining and informative which made our understanding and experience very worthwhile. In addition to making our own alcohol, we were able to try unlimited Makgeolli, rice wine and soju. Since we booked the 2-hour package, handsome Joh even prepared dinner for us with Kimchi Jjigae and Kimchi pancakes! Highly recommend to go!

It was a really fun experience. Worth it! Dave, with all his animated expressions, heartfelt songs, and witty jokes made it worthwhile. Dave was so hospitable and accommodating. After the session, he helped us booked a taxi and recommended an excellent abalone specialty restaurant nearby. The liquors are outstanding 🥂

The workshop was interesting and educational. It was a bit of a science experiment but only with fun and exciting parts. We had black pork bbq with fried kimchi for the "after party" as Joh called it. We got the chance to try several "sool" and Joh was considerate to have provided tonic water when he noticed we could not drink those with high alcohol content. We also got to bring our jars of makgeolli home. The anxiety of whether or not the fermentation was doing well and the anticipation of the finished product had extended the enjoyable experience.

¡Lo pasamos genial! Aprendimos mucho y nos divertimos mucho haciendo el alcohol y aún más bebiéndolo, jaja. Definitivamente lo repetiríamos, pero quizás no el viaje de 2 horas en autobús de regreso a nuestra casa de huéspedes, jaja.

¡Clase excelente! Joh fue un gran profesor e hizo la clase muy divertida y entretenida. Pude aprender y probar una variedad de alcohol junto con buena comida. ¡Definitivamente recomendaría esta increíble experiencia!

This is a perfect makgeolli making experience with David! He is really kind and humorous and also enthusiastic about Korean alcohol. We enjoy learning, making and drinking at Suldoga Jeju Badang! We're honored to know David and hope we can meet again soon in Jeju or Taiwan! 🥰❤️We are looking forward to receiving the photos taken by David, thank you so much!

The experience is divided into two parts. First, we learn about the fermentation process of alcohol and the differences between Korean rice wine and soju. Then, we get to make our own makgeolli by hand. The activity was very interesting, and the instructor was very thoughtful, explaining everything in both English and Korean. Knowing that we would be taking our makgeolli on a plane, she even taught us how to prevent leaks 😂

It was an amazing experience. Joe was super nice and gave us a really good insight into the production and history of Makgeolli and alcohol in Korea. It was a really fun experience, and we also got a really yummy dinner of Kimchi-Jjigae and Kimchi Pancakes.

We had SUCH a good time in this class (a little too much fun 😆). Joh took great care of us and we learned so much about the Maegkolli process. I loved that we got to take our maegkolli home and got to sample different sojus etc while we listened. highly recommend for a unique experience (and for those who love to drink) 😆
