Makgeolli, a popular Korean rice wine beverage, is consumed in a gold bowl. It may look to be a bit peculiar at first, but you will get in the hang of things and understand that it just tastes better in a gold bowl. Made from wheat and rice, it has a milky texture that is off-white with a kick of sweetness. It simply consists of boiled rice, wheat and water which is about 6-8% of alcohol.
It is an extremely popular light drink to have in Korea, but do keep in mind that the number of empty Makgeolli bottles at the end of night will probably blow your mind. For those who are not a Makgeolli drinker, try mixing in a bit of the Korean cider with the drink or use it as a chaser. It complements one another very well and you will not feel the alcohol. Drink responsibly though because it will hit you sooner or later! Although Koreans are known to drink at all hours of the day, it is important to do it the smart way.
