Kooksoondang Bekseju (herbal&rice Wine)

Kooksoondang Bekseju is a traditional Korean rice wine that is infused with various medicinal herbs. It has a distinctive taste and aroma that sets it apart from other types of rice wine. The name "Bekseju" translates to "to take a rest from anxiety" in Korean, reflecting the calming and relaxing properties that the wine is believed to have.

Bekseju is made by fermenting rice with a mixture of herbs, including ginseng, ginger, cinnamon, and licorice. These herbs not only add flavor to the wine but also provide health benefits. Ginseng, for example, is known for its energy-boosting properties, while ginger and cinnamon are believed to aid digestion and improve circulation.

In addition to its herbal ingredients, Bekseju also contains small amounts of alcohol, typically around 15-16% ABV. The alcohol content is relatively low compared to other types of rice wine, making it a popular choice for those who prefer milder alcoholic beverages.
