01Highlights

Four reasons to
book a class

01

A home recipe that became a brand

Kim Jeong-sik and Park Bok-soon brewed their family's hand makgeolli in Ulju — today it is one of Korea's best-known craft makgeolli brands.

02

Taste the whole lineup

Hand makgeolli, red-rice makgeolli, takju and gwahaju — a guided tasting flight is part of every class.

03

Rice and nuruk, by hand

Work with the same two ingredients the brewery uses — mix, seal and take your batch home to ferment.

04

A working brewery, not a film set

Walk the real fermentation floors of the Ulsan brewery, selected for the government's 'visit-the-brewery' program in 2018.

02About

A family recipe that
became a brand

BOKSOONDOGA (福順都家) is a family craft brewery in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan. Husband-and-wife founders Kim Jeong-sik and Park Bok-soon started brewing their family-recipe hand makgeolli in 2009 — unfiltered, undiluted and brewed in small batches.

The Ulsan brewery near Ulsan KTX Station now anchors brewery tours, makgeolli classes and tastings for travellers.
