Explanation
Solsongju is a liquor distilled after steaming pine sprouts picked from the mountains around Gaepyeong Village from April to May and fermenting them with hard-boiled rice in the crude liquor. It has been introduced several times as a toast at summit dinners and international events. Solsongju Cultural Center, located at the entrance of Gaepyeong Hanok Village, is a space that informs the history and tradition of Solsongju. Park Hong-seon, an Intangible Cultural Property holder with the secret of Solsongju passed down for more than 500 years, has operated this cultural center with her husband for nearly 30 years. Visitors can experience a variety of traditional liquor, including Solsongju, made using traditional tools; Nokpaju, an herbal liquor of the Goryeo period; and Damsol, a rice soju, and you can also try tasting them. These can be consumed as is or as various cocktails. There are four types of cocktails in the cocktail-making experience: Damsol Julep, Solbaram, Damsol Tea, and Damkok.
