Video Description

The 200-Year-Old Secret: Recreating Korea's Original Distilled Soju This documentary features Jeong Jae-sik, the Transmission Instructor of Gyeonggi Intangible Cultural Heritage No.12 – Okroju, and captures the process of reviving Okroju, a traditional Korean distilled liquor once on the verge of disappearing. For decades, Master Jeong has devoted his life to preserving the heritage of Korean traditional liquors, continuing the legacy of Okroju, a precious spirit once enjoyed by the royal court and noble families of the Joseon Dynasty. Through years of study, experimentation, and craftsmanship, he has brought this nearly lost tradition back to life. He believes that “liquor is not merely a beverage, but a vessel of our ancestors’ spirit and culture.” Every step—from washing rice and making nuruk (fermentation starter), to fermenting, distilling, and aging— is a delicate work of patience, artistry, and respect for time. This film follows the intricate and refined process of crafting Okroju, revealing the artistry that unfolds through the master’s hands and the wisdom inherited through generations. Through his dedication to preserving a nearly lost tradition, we are invited to rediscover the beauty, philosophy, and cultural depth of Korean traditional liquor.
