Mugwort Makgeolli Masterclass at La Cabane

A seasonal fermentation workshop with Jubangjang Brewery — two mugwort sool (takju + yakju), paired with traditional mugwort tea.

Full Description

A seasonal fermentation workshop, led by Jubangjang Brewery.

Discover the herbal depth of ssuk — Korean mugwort — and how it shapes one of Korea's most distinctive artisan breweries.

Across the session, you'll taste two mugwort sool side by side — a wild-fermented takju (unfiltered) and a yakju (filtered) — alongside traditional mugwort tea between pours.

The brewer will share how a former chef built an entire brewery around a single ingredient, and what that ingredient — mugwort — taught him about timing, patience, and Korean spring.

A sensorial introduction to the springtime flavor of Korea's living fermentation heritage.

About Jubangjang

"Jubangjang" (주방장) means head chef.

The brewery was founded by a former chef who left the kitchen to brew. Mugwort (ssuk) is the signature — the thread that runs through both bottles in the range.

Remarkably consistent batch to batch, deeply rooted in seasonal Korean herbal tradition.
