  Many people enjoy sake, the Japanese rice wine. But now, a brewing company based in the Seattle area is betting diners will soon make room for Korean rice wine.

The article from OPB dated June 8, 2025, discusses the launch of Rainbrew, a new makgeolli (Korean rice wine) brand in Seattle.

The brand emphasizes sustainability, using locally sourced rice and eco-friendly packaging. Rainbrew has quickly gained popularity, with its products being sold in local markets and featured in several Seattle restaurants. Kim hopes to expand the brand's reach and educate consumers about the cultural significance and versatility of makgeolli.
