''Dansul'' () or ''gamju'' (), translated as sweet wine, is a milky (or cloudy) rice wine made with rice, glutinous rice, and ''nuruk'' (fermentation starter). Due to the incomplete fermentation of the rice, the wine has relatively low alcohol content (2‒3% ABV) and sweet and slightly tangy notes. Preparation Steamed rice and/or glutinous rice is mixed with ''nuruk'' (fermentation starter), lightly pounded, and heated in water until the temperature reaches . It is left to ferment for several hours at , and sieved before served.

Korean Alcoholic Drinks
Korean cuisine has a wide variety of traditional alcoholic drinks, known as ''sul'' (). Many of these drinks end with the Sino-Korean word ''-ju'' (), and some end with the native Korean word ''-sul''. The Sino-Korean ''-ju'' is not used as an independent noun. There are an estimated 1,000 or more kinds of alcoholic drinks in Korea. Most are made from rice, and are fermented with the aid of yeast and ''nuruk'' (a wheat-based source of the enzyme amylase). Fruits, flowers, herbs, and other natural ingredients have also been used to craft traditional Korean alcoholic drinks. There are six distinct flavors: sweet, sour, pungent, roasted, bitter, and spicy. When the flavors are balanced, the alcohol is considered of good quality. Etymology There are several hypotheses regarding the origin of the word Sul, for one it is thought to have come from Chinese characters or Su-eul meaning Korean milk porridge (Korean word Tarakjuk). It can be understood that Sul must have derived from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

As the mixture incubates, sweetness develops naturally. By another recipe, sake kasu is mixed with water and sugar is added. ''Amazake'' can be used as a dessert, snack, natural sweetening agent, baby food, salad dressing or smoothie. One traditional ''amazake'' drink, prepared by combining ''amazake'' and water, heated to a simmer, and often topped with a pinch of finely grated ginger, was popular with street vendors, and it is still served at i ...
