The traditional liquor corporation "Woorisul Sanghoe" announced that it will open a traditional liquor cultural space in Incheon's Chinatown on the 11th.
According to Woorisul Sanghoe on the 10th, the traditional liquor cultural space is a place where customers can purchase, experience, and enjoy various traditional liquors from South Korea all in one place. Customers can experience cocktails made with traditional liquor, tea beverages, and light snacks. In particular, to commemorate this opening, special products such as traditional liquor named after "Chinatown" and "Chinatown Chocolate" beer, which can only be found at the Chinatown location, will be released. Additionally, programs related to traditional liquor, including a makgeolli-making class, tarot card experience, and traditional liquor gathering, have been prepared.
The Woorisul Sanghoe Chinatown location is composed of the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 2nd floor features a traditional liquor bottle shop where over 500 different traditional liquors and related products can be purchased, while the 3rd floor is designated as a space for customers to directly taste and enjoy traditional liquors.
There are also various attractions. At the entrance, a furnace recreating the traditional liquor brewing process is installed. The 2nd-floor terrace features a "Chinatown Observatory" that offers a panoramic view of Chinatown.
In April, it will also participate in the '1883 Incheon Global Stamp Tour' operated by the Incheon Tourism Organization. It aims to provide foreign tourists an opportunity to learn about South Korean traditional liquor and experience something special. With various programs, it is expected to establish itself as a representative cultural space that introduces foreign tourists to the taste and beauty of Korean traditional liquor as well as Incheon, the starting point of traveling in South Korea.
Kim Bo-seong, the representative of Woorisul Sanghoe, noted, "Chinatown is a space where culture and tradition intersect, and we judged it to be the optimal place for spreading the value of traditional liquor more widely. I hope it becomes a special meeting place for both people who love traditional liquor and those who are encountering it for the first time."
