Kojidou Nama Makgeolli

Makgeolli is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage that has long been enjoyed by the common people. In recent years, makgeolli has been attracting attention as a drink good for beauty and health, and a wide variety of stores and products have appeared on the market.

In particular, this "Kojidou Raw Makkoli" is very popular even in its home country of South Korea, with over 1 million bottles sold in 100 days. The shelf life of regular raw makkoli is about one week, but this one can be stored for a long time thanks to a special technology.

By the way, there is one day in Korea when you feel like drinking makgeolli. That is a rainy day.
