Choujiu is a type of Chinese fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from glutinous rice. It is very thick and has a milky white color,which is sometimes compared to jade. photo Fermentation is carried out by a combination of the fungus Aspergillus oryzae ,which converts the rice starches into fermentable sugars,and yeast,which converts the sugars into alcohol. Varieties of lactic acid bacteria are also commonly present in the fermentation starter. The traditional Chinese name of the fermentation starter is qū .
Choujiu is an ancient variety of Chinese alcoholic beverage. It can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty,where it was praised by the poet Li Bai. [1] [2] In ancient times,choujiu was referred to as láolǐ (醪 醴) or yùjiāng (玉 浆).
In the modern day,the city of Xi'an is known particularly for its choujiu.
Doburoku (どぶろく / 濁酒) is the Japanese equivalent of choujiu,and in Korea gamju and makgeolli are similar.
Makgeolli, sometimes anglicized to makkoli, is a Korean alcoholic beverage. The milky, off-white, and lightly sparkling rice wine has a slight viscosity that tastes slightly sweet, tangy, bitter, and astringent. Chalky sediment gives it a cloudy appearance. As a low proof drink of six to nine percent alcohol by volume, it is often considered a "communal beverage" rather than hard liquor. In Korea, makgeolli is often unpasteurized, and the wine continues to mature in the bottle. Because of the short shelf life of unpasteurized "draft" makgeolli, many exported makgeolli undergo pasteurization, which deprives the beverage of complex enzymes and flavor compounds. Recently, various fruits such as strawberries and bananas are added to makgeolli to drink in new forms.
Korean cuisine has a wide variety of traditional alcoholic drinks, known as sul (술). 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.
Cheongju, sometimes romanized as Chungju, is a clear, refined rice wine of Korean origin.
