Dansul
Korean rice wine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dansul (Korean: 단술; pronounced [tan.sul]; lit. 'sweet wine') or gamju (감주; [kam.dʑu]) is a milky (or cloudy) Korean rice wine made with rice, glutinous rice, and nuruk (fermentation starter).[1][2][3][4] Due to the incomplete fermentation of the rice, the wine has relatively low alcohol content (2‒3% ABV) and sweet and slightly tangy notes.[5]
Preparation
Steamed rice and/or glutinous rice is mixed with nuruk (fermentation starter), lightly pounded, and heated in water until the temperature reaches 60 °C (140 °F).[1] It is left to ferment for several hours at 60 °C (140 °F), and sieved before served.[1]
