Produced in Cheongju, Cheongju Daechusul is a type of 'takju,' unrefined liquor fermented from grains. It would be in the same family as the popular 'makgeolli' and its cousin, 'dongdongju.' Carefully brewed with jujubes, glutinous rice, yeast, malt, pine needles and spring water pumped from an underground rock bed Daechusul tastes sweet with a bitter aftertaste. The alcohol content is 16 percent.
