Kapanlagi.com - Korean dramas are currently attracting the attention of various countries, including Indonesia. Everything in Korean dramas is something interesting for the viewers, one of them being soju.

Soju is one of the popular alcoholic beverages in South Korea. It has a taste similar to vodka but is more liquid and sweet, and its main ingredient is rice. Although there are also soju made from sweet potatoes, potatoes, wheat, and cassava.

It turns out that besides soju, there are also several Korean drinks made from rice. What are these drinks? According to various sources, here are 5 types of Korean drinks made from rice. Let's check them out.

 

1. Makgeolli

The first Korean drink made from rice is Makgeolli. Actually, Makgeolli is the oldest Korean drink, not soju.

This alcoholic beverage has a milky white color and a sweeter taste than soju. Makgeolli contains 6% to 8% alcohol, so this fermented rice drink can make you drunk.

Unlike soju, Makgeolli has sediment at the bottom and also soda, which makes this drink favored by farmers in Korea. That's why Makgeolli is often referred to as nongju or farmer's liquor.

2. Cheongju

The next Korean drink made from rice is Cheongju. This drink is also one of the alcoholic beverages in Korea. It is almost similar to soju, but Cheongju undergoes a longer process.

That's why Cheongju has a clearer color and a better taste. Not only does it have better quality than soju, but Cheongju also has a higher price than soju.

Not only being a drink, it turns out that Cheongju is often made as medicine, KLovers. In fact, many people used to use Cheongju as medicine and called it yakju, which means medicinal liquor.

3. Sungnyung

Sungnyung is one of the Korean drinks made from rice. Sungnyung is a unique drink in Korea because it has a taste like toasted bread.

This is because sungnyung is made from dry rice at the bottom of the pot. It is not strange anymore that Korean people like rice crust, so this drink is formed.

Sungnyung drink does not contain alcohol and is served during important events such as ancestral worship ceremonies as a closing dish. That is why this drink becomes one of the traditional Korean drinks.

4. Baekseju

Then there is baekseju, which is another type of rice-based drink. Baekseju is also one of the alcoholic drinks owned by Korea. Unlike soju, baekseju is only consumed by adult men.

This is because baekseju is believed to prolong someone's life. That is why baekseju is named as a 100-year strong drink. And only adult men who want to get the benefits of this drink.

Baekseju is not only made from rice, but it also has a lot of spices, one of which is ginseng. It's no wonder that this drink is called a health drink.

5. Sikhye

And the last Korean drink is sikhye, which is also one of the traditional Korean drinks. Sikhye is usually consumed after someone finishes soaking, this is because sikhye can make the eyes feel refreshed.

This drink can easily be found in Korean restaurants or in canned form. Sikhye is also non-alcoholic, and is very good for digestion.

Those are the 5 Korean drinks made from rice. Not only soju, but South Korea also has various types of rice drinks that are equally delicious and popular.
