      Drinking and learning about makgeolli -- what's not to like!

      Tim_J, Oct 2025
      Michelle's makgeolli class was a lot of fun! Not only do you get to make your own batch of makgeolli, you'll also learn about the culture/history/lore of it and try a lot of different kinds (and not the mass-produced stuff, the good stuff!) Best of all, she offers kits to make makgeolli at home, so we'll be able to recreate our memories of Korea back in the US. Michelle is a great guide for Busan as well, and gave us recommendations for restaurants and the rest of our trip. If you can, plan to do this early in your trip, the makgeolli you prepare in class will be ready to drink a few days later.

      Great Experience, Friendly Host!

      Couldn’t recommend this class more. Michelle is friendly and knowledgeable and helps you understand the makgeolli brewing process in more detail in addition to tasting a broad spectrum of makgeolli’s. Plus she even gave us a couple recommendations of other places to visit around Busan which were great! 10 out of 10!

      A first experience of Makgeolli

      Recommended if you like makgeolli. He is a very kind teacher. You have to go up the stairs to the fourth floor, so be careful if you are unsure of your feet or have a lot of luggage. Very little water and can be taken home by plane. If you are unable to do so, please consult with Kit only available for purchase
