Korea’s Signature Traditional Wine

A clear, golden-hued rice wine crafted from rice and 12 natural botanicals in perfect harmony.

BEKSEJU is crafted with Seolgaengmi, a premium rice cultivated exclusively for brewing, Kooksoondang's signature Nuruk (traditional Korean fermentation starter), and twelve carefully selected natural botanicals.

Crystal-clear with a delicate golden hue, BEKSEJU reveals subtle botanical aromas, beautifully balanced flavors, and a crisp, elegant finish.

As the first Korean alcoholic beverage to receive the Excellent Cultural Product certification (K-Ribbon Selection), BEKSEJU carries Korea's rich brewing heritage forward with a refined expression for today.

Guided by our core philosophy of "Beopgochangsin" (honoring tradition while embracing the future), we unite ancestral fermentation wisdom with cutting-edge biotechnology.

* Patented Raw Rice Fermentation: Developed a patented brewing method that ferments uncooked rice, maximizing natural nutrients and delivering a crisp, clean finish without heat degradation.

* Flagship Brands: Makers of 'Bekseju' (Korea’s leading herb-infused fermented wine launched in 1992) and world-renowned sparkling 'Makgeolli' with advanced cold-chain and shelf-stable packaging.

* Eco-Friendly Production: Operating our state-of-the-art brewery at 500m above sea level in pristine Gangwon Province (certified 'Green Company' by the Ministry of Environment).
