FOOD ALLERGY WARNING: Below are the basic ingredients that will be used in this class: - Lime, rice, water, malt, refined malt (Please take note of the ingredients before joining. We WILL NOT change or substitute any ingredient.)

As part of the experience, you will have time to make one bottle of Lime makgeolli. Participants will be bringing home unfermented makgeolli which means you will have to do the fermentation at home. Fermentation will take about 2 weeks. Hence, this class is NOT suitable for participants who will be travelling. Tourists who are planning to bring the unfermented makgeolli home is also not recommended to join the class as you won’t be able to bring the unfermented makgeolli in the airplane.
