Overview
[edit]Baekseju is brewed using traditional methods, and has a mellow flavor, with a hint of ginseng.[1]
It is often consumed with gui and other spicy dishes which are main flavors of Korean food. However, baekseju is considered to be more old-fashioned than soju or beer, and is less popular.
Kooksoondang's brand of baekseju used a modified version of its traditional recipe to sell it to a broader market, with some adjustments and new ingredients. It was first launched in 1992 along with the name of Jibong'yuseol.
