Paekhwa Liquor

From olden times Korea has been called a land of golden tapestry for its beautiful mountains and limpid streams. The mountains and fields across the country are decked with various species of lovely flowers from early spring to late autumn.

From long ago, Koreans have made paekhwa liquor with a hundred species of flowers found in the local areas, including those of peach, apricot, matrimony vine, pine and Lonicera japonica Thunb , to enrich their dietary life.

The Paekhaksan General Foodstuff-processing Factory in Rason Municipality produces the liquor. They pluck young blossoms with much care and get them dry in natural conditions. Then they make the liquor after leaving them in more than four years of aging process.

The distilling method was awarded a national patent and placed on the national intangible cultural heritage list.

A sip of the liquor is enough to enjoy the taste and fragrance of nature. A cocktail made by mixing it with soju (a Korean alcoholic drink), spring water, fruit juice or other soft drinks tastes better.

The liquor earned recognition as the best product in the 7th Rason International Trade Fair, and gained popularity in several exhibitions including the light industry goods exhibition “Light Industry Development-2025.”

Now visitors to the city enjoy drinking it at the very place where it is produced.
