Kooksoondang Brewery, established in 1952, is a major producer of Korean wine, such as herbal wine and makkeolli (unrefined rice wine), based on the Korean traditional brewing formula. In 1992, as a result of continuous efforts in R&D, it introduced its major product, “Bekseju.”
The excellent taste and health benefits of Bekseju captured the hearts and palates of Korean consumers when it was released. Since then, it has taken up around 70% of market share in the Korean rice wine market. To satisfy the expanding demand for Bekseju, it opened a new factory in Hoengseong, Gangown Province in 2004. The factory has a daily production capacity of 600,000 bottles, and it is renowned for its environmentally friendly facilities.
Bekseju is a herbal wine that is is made from glutinous rice, nuruk (Korean yeast & enzyme) and 12 choicest oriental herbs, including ginseng, ginger, cinnamon, etc. It is perfectly brewed and fermented in a patented and exclusive way based on the traditional Korean wine brewing formula.
Its natural flavor obtained from its oriental herbs is a true delight to the palate. It can be enjoyed for dinner and social parties. The recent scientific study showed that Bekseju has anti-cancer effects as well as providing effective protection for the stomach.
