Gapyeong Pine Nut Makgeolli Black pairs exceptionally well with dorajimuchim (bellflower root salad). The crunchy texture and pungent aroma of doraji is enticing, and the nutty flavor of the makgeolli gently offsets the bitterness of the doraji. The refreshing finish of the drink cleanses the spicy flavor lingering on the palate, making it a perfect complement. Nutritionally, pine nuts and doraji are compatible ingredients. Doraji is rich in saponins, which boost immunity, while the unsaturated fatty acids in pine nuts help absorb these lipid-soluble saponins. During the summer heat, when appetites often wane, a healthy pairing of Gapyeong Pine Nut Makgeolli Black and dorajimuchim is an excellent choice to stimulate your appetite.

As its name suggests, ‘Seoul Pink' is a pink-hued makgeolli that appeals to the younger generation. Its clear, clean pink color is produced by the addition of azalea flowers and prickly pear fruit. The traditional 'Oyangju' method, involving five stages of fermentation, gives the drink a smoother texture. The balance between its light acidity and fruity sweetness is quite impressive. To fully enjoy Seoul Pink, it is recommended to use a decanter. First, pour the clear upper part of the drink, then slowly pour the remaining makgeolli for a delightful visual and tasty experience. Alcohol content: 7.5%. Capacity: 500ml.

Let's pair a trendy accompaniment with a trendy drink. Golbaengimuchim (spicy sea snail salad) is a familiar dish that has always been enjoyed with alcohol. However, it has gained renewed popularity thanks to the retro wave embraced by the MZ generation. Moreover, golbaengi (sea snail) is a high-protein, low-fat ingredient, making it a double win for both diet and skincare. So, for one of those dry summer nights that call for a touch of romance, make sure to complete your table with Seoul Pink and golbaengimuchim.
