Tradisyunal na Pagtikim ng Soju at Makgeolli sa Seoul

Talagang kamangha-mangha. Si Joe ay napakabait at sobrang knowledgeable. Ginawa niyang nakapagtuturo at masaya ang karanasan sa parehong oras. Maaari ka ring bumili ng ilan sa mga produktong nagustuhan mo sa pagtatapos ng pagtikim. 100% kong irerekomenda sa kahit sino :)

Ang dami kong natutunan mula kay Joe tungkol sa alak ng Korea! Kung mayroon kang kahit katiting na interes sa alak, lubos kong inirerekomenda ang pagkuha ng kursong ito sa pagtikim. Mayroon ding iba pang mga kurso, na maaari kong subukan sa susunod na pagbisita ko sa South Korea! Sobrang saya na subukang hulaan kung aling inumin ang alin, at ang mga paliwanag tungkol sa mga proseso at pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng bawat uri ay kamangha-mangha. Hindi ko alam na ang soju ay may napakaraming nuances, talagang nakapagbukas ng isip! Maraming salamat!

Very enlightening for the Korean Culture and how the process for creating and popularizing the drinks is done. I wish we had done this at the beginning of the trip to use as context. He shared with me a local Makgeolli maker so I could have more experiences when I return home. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Such an informative and entertaining experience! I hope lots more people take the chance to learn about the history behind Korea's well know alcohols.

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Korea! The small group setting made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and interactive. Our host, Kim Joe was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about Korean drinking culture. He was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into the history, production, and traditions behind both soju and makgeolli. I learned so much while also getting to taste a great variety of drinks that I probably wouldn't have discovered on my own. There was no pressure, just a fun atmosphere where everyone could ask questions and enjoy the experience together. If you're looking for an authentic and informative introduction to traditional Korean alcohol, I couldn't recommend this experience more. A perfect mix of education, culture, and great company!

Was a great introduction to both Soju and Makgeolli. A terrific learning experience, and can't wait to get home and try to make it myself! Was a world apart from the drinks I tried from the convenience stores.

Everything about this experience was phenomenal. While trying the different drinks, I really appreciated the time Isaac spent explaining the varieties of rice wines as he had an incredible wealth of knowledge about this subject. This taste testing experience is well worth your time and money if you have a spare moment while in Seoul and want to try the different types of Korean style alcoholic beverages and have a great conversation simultaneously. Isaac provided well informed answers to all of my questions about the drinks. Also, the bar has whole bottles of Soju and Makgeoli for sale but also offers international shipping for those short on luggage space. Whether traveling solo or in a group, I assure you that it'll be great time learning from someone very dedicated to the craft of traditional soju and makgeoli distillation.

Talagang dapat gawin sa Seoul! Naniniwala ako na ang kultura ay mauunawaan sa pamamagitan ng pagkain at alak. Ito ay isang magandang sulyap sa kasaysayan ng inumin sa Korea. Talagang masasarap na produkto para tikman. Ito ay isa sa mga highlight ng aking paglalakbay.

Si Joe ay talagang may malawak na kaalaman, mapagpasensya sa aming mga tanong, at bukas at handang ibahagi ang parehong kasaysayan at ang produkto! Ako ay kasalukuyang buntis at hindi makasali sa inuman, ngunit si Joe ay napakabait na iparamdam sa akin na kasama ako sa mga hamon sa pamamagitan ng amoy at binigyan ako ng masarap na matamis na inuming bigas. Ayon sa aking asawa, ang Makgeolli ay napakasarap. Tiyak na babalik kami sa susunod na pagpunta namin sa Seoul para matikman ko ito!

Hindi lamang namin nagustuhan ang makgeolli, ngunit mas lalong naging masaya kami nang makilala namin ang may-ari at nabigyan kami ng maikling kasaysayan ng makgeolli at kung paano ito ginagawa. Salamat sa karanasan at umaasa akong makabalik muli.
