KOREAN HERITAGE

A 400-YEAR SUMMER WINE, REBORN.

For more than four centuries, Gwahaju carried Koreans through the heat of summer. Lost for nearly a century, this forgotten tradition has been revived by Kegzei Brewery as Gamtanju — crafted for today’s table while honoring its original spirit.

OUR HERITAGE

THE WINE THAT SURVIVED SUMMER

Unlike ordinary rice wine, Gwahaju was designed to withstand Korea’s hot summers through a unique brewing technique. Once nearly erased from history, it now returns with the bright elegance of Jeju Hallabong and the craftsmanship of Buyeo.
