About Gilsang 7days Kit de Elaboración Caseira
Gilsang 7days é un kit de elaboración caseira de makgeolli, unha bebida tradicional coreana de arroz. O kit adapta unha receita do Sanga Yorok, un texto culinario coreano do século XV, nun proceso sinxelo de sete días. As gachas precociñadas e o arroz ao vapor fornécense en recipientes selados, xunto co nuruk e un pano de filtrado, polo que apenas se necesita preparación. A esterilización a alta temperatura garante a seguridade e unha longa vida útil. O envase está feito de papel ecolóxico coa textura dos manuscritos antigos, e un código impreso enlaza con guías en vídeo en varios idiomas.
