蒲公英大酺清酒
민들레 대포 / Dandelion Daepo
 
Korean traditional rice wine.
 
This is Korean Cheongju (aka Yakju) which is rice wine.
Daepo is one of the BSM Brewery's top seller. Daepo (대포: 大酺) means drinking in large bowl and/or sharing drinks with other people in Korean. Little shops sold home brewed alcohol in large bowls before, usually mageolli (aka Takju) and cheongju (aka Yakju). 
 
BSM Brewery named this product targeting people for old time memories and hope to become one of the cheongju people will love to share with their friends, and families.
 
Smooth on your throat with slight sweetness on your tongue followed by light floral aroma.
 
This is very mild smooth cheongju. I recommend to beginners to cheongju category, before trying other unique cheongju (they do have very strong nuruk tastes which some likes and some don’t).
 
Nice with Taiwanese, Japanese cuisine as well as Korean. I recommend to pair with light dishes not so overpowering taste dishes, because Daepo is mild cheongju which is even nice to drink alone without any side dishes.
 
Enjoy straight, or on the rock. Don’t forget cheongju should be severed chilled, but my dad likes it served warm (it’s hard to drink it warm at home, because it’s hassle to warm up in double boiler LOL).
