Black Rice Makgeolli

Our Makgeolli, a traditional rice based beverage often seen consumed at korean BBQ joints, is an opaque, delicious, milky rice beverage with a beautifully smooth texture. We use a variety of ingredients for our many different batches, some of which include sweet rice, koshihikari rice, black rice and even natural fruit infusions. 

Our in-house, hand-made Nuruk is used to ferment the rice over multiple stages, creating an iconic sweet, sour, and tangy profile - and as our Nuruk is made right here in Melbourne, it contains a true and unique terroir of our city. Probiotically active with a gentle, natural effervescence, it lands with a creamy sweetness balanced by a bright, refreshing acidity and a complex finish. 

This variety uses 20% glutinous black rice, giving the makgeolli a deeply rich, berry and fruit infused flavour.

As makgeolli is a living product, keep it refrigerated and consume on opening. Unpasteurised makgeolli will evolve with time, from sweet, to dry and carbonated, to sour and rich funk over time. For the full experience, shake gently to mix the sediment and serve cold - as a wildly fermented product, each batch of our Makgeolli is truly unique, so try them all!
