Woo Hee-yeol, Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 3 of South Chungcheong Province

Hansan Sogokju is a famous wine from the Hansan area, and its color is like that of clear liquor.

It is said to be a royal wine from the Baekje period, which Baekje refugees brewed to forget their sorrow after losing their country.

In the Joseon Dynasty, it became the most widely known wine, and its manufacturing method was recorded in Dongguk Sesigi, Gyeongdojab, Siuijeonseo, Gyuhapchongseo, etc. Hansan Sogokju is a unique and excellent folk wine, and it is being preserved by Woo Hee-yeol, the holder of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and Na Jang-yeon, the inheritor of the tradition.

Hansan Sogokju, the first wine of our land

Hansan Sogokju, with its 1,500-year-old Baekje tradition, is made by fermenting glutinous rice and nuruk (fermented rice flour) for 100 days. It is a high-quality traditional Korean liquor with a sweet taste and high alcohol content, so once you drink it, you will get drunk without realizing it and become unable to get up.

There are many stories about it in daily life, such as scholars who missed their past because of the taste of the wine, and thieves who got caught while stealing because they got drunk. It is said that after the fall of Baekje, refugees brewed this wine while wearing white mourning clothes to soothe their sorrow for losing their country, so it was called Sogokju.

When you enter the building, there is an office and an exhibition hall.

These are the wines they sell.

I think the various wine bottles made of pottery are very beautiful.

I couldn't get up, even though I didn't want to get up.
