Girin Steakhouse & Ssam Bar to Host Makgeolli Launch Party


Girin Steakhouse to celebrate one of Korea’s oldest traditions, Makgeolli 

Girin Steakhouse is hosting its first MAKGEOLLI Party filled with traditional Korean food and drinks! After waiting a year-and-a-half, Girin has finally been approved to sell their home-brewed makgeolli to the public.

From the modern decor to the expression of each dish, Girin is at the forefront of changing the way people experience Korean cuisine. The flavors are extended throughout the dining experience giving you an elevated, yet authentic, Korean culinary experience.

What is Makgeolli (막걸리)? It’s a slightly sweet alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. It has a milky, off-white color and is about 6–8% alcohol by volume. Makgeolli is traditionally made from rice, although variations are made from wheat, and some brands are flavored with corn, chestnut, apple or other produce.
