There are two types of rice wine in Korea. The first one is clear and is very strong (19%). They all come in beer shaped bottles and cost 1000won so I bought it by mistake. The clear one tastes like if you took cheap vodka and diluted it 4 of 5 to one with water. Still the cheap flavor but less potent. The milky white one pictured above is alittle different. It still has activated yeast in the bottle that you can see in the bottle after you have finished the drink. It tastes better to me but is still kinda yeasty tasting as one would expect. I dont really prefer either of them. Oh well... I didnt come to Korea to get drunk. Ill just have to deal. Wednesday, August 19, 2009
