Korean alcohol is a lot more than just a green bottle of soju, which is diluted ethanol with artificial sweetener. Broadly, Korean alcohols are divided into Tak-ju (unfiltered rice wine), Cheong-ju (filtered clear rice wine) and So-ju (distilled spirit). Here, we will focus on our specialty, soju, but we can also taste other types too. Samhae soju was a beloved choice of spirit among the noble class of Joseon dynasty(1392~1894). This luxurious alcohol had caused cult following, but the making was so resource(rice)-heavy that production had to stop during famines. The current master, Hyeonjong Kim had learned and practiced for more than 10 years under master Taeksang Kim who had inherited and kept the recipe in the family. Sadly, master Taeksang Kim passed away in 2021. We will have a privilege to taste the history. *For private groups, please make a private group reservation or message me.

* To enhance your experience, please inform us of your food and wine preferences, as well as any allergies, before the tour date. The menu typically features Korean-style meat dishes. Korean cuisine offers a diverse array of flavors and textures, making it surprisingly versatile when paired with wine. While traditionally associated with rice-based spirits like soju and makgeolli, the complexity of Korean dishes can complement various wine styles. Light-bodied whites like Riesling or Pinot Grigio pair well with spicy and tangy dishes like kimchi or Korean BBQ, while medium-bodied reds such as Pinot Noir or Gamay can complement heartier dishes like bulgogi or galbi. Ultimately, experimentation is key, but the contrast and balance between Korean flavors and wine profiles can create delightful culinary experiences.

Experience Korean drinking culture the way locals do, from grilling Korean BBQ to visiting a traditional pub for Makgeolli. Learn real Korean drinking customs and games in a friendly, social setting—more than just food and drinks, it’s a cultural night out.

This is more than just a tour; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in real Korean street life while funding your travels. I’m not fluent in English like a professional guide, but that’s not a big deal. My YouTube concept is actually about being a guide who’s not perfect at English. Even if my English isn’t perfect, it won’t stop us from enjoying the experience together. During the experience, I’ll take care of you like family, so don’t worry
