ChungMyung 24

ChungMyung 24 is a delicate distilled soju crafted by Joongwondang. It features subtle floral aromas and a gentle sweetness of grain derived from the harmony of rice and traditional nuruk (Korean fermentation starter). The spirit boasts a smooth texture and a clean finish. With a medium body, it pairs exceptionally well with a variety of Korean dishes. Its clean profile makes it an excellent accompaniment to richer foods, and its nuanced tasting notes reveal its true value.

The subtle sweetness and floral notes of ChungMyung 24 find harmony with the delicate flavors of steamed monkfish liver (Ankimo) with ponzu. The rich, buttery texture of the Ankimo is beautifully lifted by the soju's clean finish, preventing it from becoming overly heavy. Alternatively, try it with a plate of cold buckwheat noodles (Memil Guksu) dressed with sesame oil and a hint of gochugaru; the soju's light body complements the noodles' nutty and slightly spicy character, creating a refreshing contrast.
