Someone asks to me “How does it taste?” I say that it is difficult to explain the taste because there is not any Makgeolli like this one. First of all, it tastes very sour, wild but clean. No, actually, you have to taste it. It tastes sour, it makes your eyes wateringly. So, this is Kumjungsansung Sansung Makgeolli.  

누군가 ‘맛이 어떤데?’ 물어보면 비슷하다. 비유할 대상이 없어 설명하기 어렵다. 우선 무척 시고 거칠면서 깔끔한데···· 아니다, 먹어 봐야 안다. 맛이 시고 눈이 시려서, 그래서 금정산성 산성막걸리야.
