On-Wha Aperitif

Our rice wine-based aperitif bridges Danish and Korean botanical traditions, built on Yakju rice wine and fortified with grain neutral spirit. Classic vermouth bitterness from wormwood meets plum sweetness and a delicate green tea and osmanthus lift, while meadowsweet, chrysanthemum and tansy add herbal depth on the Danish side, balanced by mulberry, Sichuan pepper, orris root, cassia and allspice on the Korean side. Lightly sweetened with sugar beet syrup and made with no added aromas, ON-WHA is a complex, East-meets-Nordic take on the aperitif format.
