Bringing a taste of Seoul to the heart of the Philippines! ๐ถ
The Embassy recently transformed its reception into a vibrant celebration of Korean traditional liquors, a curated selection of 25 unique varieties, ranging from the iconic, milky makgeolli to the sophisticated cheongju and bold, premium distilled spirits.
What makes these spirits so special? Itโs all in the process. Using natural ingredients like rice and traditional fermentation techniques, these liquors offer a smooth, rich profile with aromas you won't find anywhere else ๐พ
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the pairing! ๐ฌ Guests enjoyed their drinks alongside traditional Korean confections: Hangwa, known as Korea's light and crispy traditional crackers, and Yakgwa, the sweet, honey-infused delights.
Did you know there were so many types of traditional Korean spirits? Let us know which one youโd love to try! ๐
