What is Chuseongju?
Lee Yeong-gan, who served as the Deputy Prime Minister during the 14th year of King Munjong of Goryeo (1060), studied at Yeondongsa Temple in Geumsungsan Fortress when he was young. Monks at the temple made alcohol with barley rice brought by Buddhists as a monthly allowance, using herbs growing in and around Geumsungsan Fortress, and enjoyed it as a type of rice wine.
The alcohol brewed by the monks of Yeondongsa Temple was known for its miraculous effects. There is a legend that an old wildcat drank the alcohol and turned into a human. The monks brewed alcohol using herbs and fruits that grew in the mountains near Geumsungsan Fortress, using the same method used by the monks. This alcohol has been passed down to this day as Chuseongju.
