Daepo, a branded yakju
Yakju (hangul: 약주; hanja: 藥 酒; literally "medicinal alcohol") is a refined rice wine made from steamed rice that has gone through several fermentation stages. It is also called myeongyakju or beopju and is distinguished from takju by its relative clarity.
Varieties include baekhaju (백하주), which is made from glutinous rice and Korean nuruk, [2] and Heukmeeju (hangul: 흑미주; hanja: 黑米酒; literally "black rice wine"), which is made from black rice. [3]
