RICE MAKKOLI - SSAL

Country of Origin: South Korea (typically brewed in regions like Gangwon-do or Seoul).
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): Generally 6% for standard commercial versions
Sugar Content: Commercial rice makgeolli often contains approximately 2 g/L of residual sugar, though some variants may have higher perceived sweetness due to added sweeteners like aspartame or fructose.
Pairing Recommendations:
Makgeolli’s creamy texture and tangy-sweet profile make it an excellent companion for a variety of bold flavors: 
Korean Savory Pancakes (Pajeon): The classic "rainy day" pairing; the slight effervescence and acidity of the wine cut through the oiliness of fried pancakes.
Spicy Dishes: Its milky consistency and sweetness help tame the heat from spicy Korean stews or stir-frys like dakgalbi or tteokbokki.
Fried Foods: Pairs exceptionally well with Korean fried chicken or vegetable tempura, as the carbonation refreshes the palate.
Cheese & Charcuterie: Modern pairings include creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, which complement the drink's yogurt-like mouthfeel.
