Baekje Sogokju

Baekje Sogokju is a distinguished Yakju, a traditional Korean refined rice wine. Crafted in Chungcheongnam-do, this rendition offers a delicate sweetness reminiscent of grain, complemented by a smooth, rounded texture. Its balanced profile culminates in a surprisingly clean and dry finish, making it an approachable yet intriguing expression of Korean winemaking.

Sogokju's delicate sweetness finds harmony with a savory Korean classic: Bossam. The tender, steamed pork belly, often served with kimchi and ssamjang, provides a rich counterpoint to the wine's clean finish. For a contrasting twist, consider a creamy ricotta and grilled peach crostini. The soft cheese and sweet fruit echo Sogokju's subtle sweetness while the toasted bread offers a textural contrast.
