In reply to Kathy Marris. Hi, Kathy. It's quite different I think. Makgeolli is white. If I remember correctly, sake is clear. I drank sake once, I forget the color. Is sake made from rice?

In reply to Ruth. Hi, Ruth. I love it when I go somewhere and hear that it's the older ladies cooking. They know what they're doing, and it's always traditional.

In reply to Jackie Smith. Ha Ha, Jackie. Yep, that photo was of my makgeolli still :) The honey is the perfect addition to the rice cakes. I didn't buy any because I would eat them all!

In reply to budget jan. Hi, Jan. I think so, too. This tour and the Temple Food Class were both government-sponsored. The content was excellent and the price was very affordable.

This was so interesting! I don’t know anything about makgeolli but I’m pretty sure my husband would love to do this. All that food looks delicious and I’m sure just have that homemade goodness only grandmas can make.

Is makgeolli similar to Japanese sake? It appears to undergo a similar process in its making. I visited a sake making place in Japan and then tastings afterwards. I rather liked the taste.

I like to do tours like these! Rural areas and food products go hand to hand in my book. I imagine how good the food prepared by the grandmas was. I have been to places were old ladies cook and the food has been phenomenal. Great to hear the government is developing certain routes into the rural areas. #TPThursday
