Ihwaju is an old Korean rice wine, named for the pear blossom that is out when it is brewed. Rice flour is made into boiled hole-cakes, cooled, mixed with a powdered rice nuruk and packed into a jar with no raw water. The result is a white wine as thick as porridge, eaten with a spoon or stirred into cold water.
Amounts from a sourceThe modern Rural Development Administration recipe for 1 kg of rice, 300 g of nuruk and 1 g of yeast. The old recipes count rice in mal and nuruk powder in doe (10 doe to the mal), so their amounts do not convert to a fixed batch size.

Ihwaju is an old Korean rice wine, named for the pear blossom that is out when it is brewed. Rice flour is made into boiled hole-cakes, cooled, mixed with a powdered rice nuruk and packed into a jar with no raw water. The result is a white wine as thick as porridge, eaten with a spoon or stirred into cold water. Made in 8 steps over 7 days – 21 days. The longest step, ferment in the jar, takes 7–21 days (Hwang B.G. 1995 (revised 2023)) and runs at 15–20 °C (Rural Development Administration (Korea) 2022). Aspergillus oryzae, the only mould grown from the rice nuruk and Hansenula sp., the only yeast grown from the rice nuruk do most of the fermenting.
Ihwaju is made from rice flour cakes and a rice nuruk, no raw water goes into the jar, and the wine comes out as thick as porridge. Wikipedia's makgeolli article says it is often so thick that it is eaten with a spoon. The rice nuruk carried only one mould, Aspergillus oryzae, and one yeast, Hansenula sp., in Kim's study.
Sangayorok recipe (about 1450)Starts the nuruk in early February; the base wine uses 10 mal of rice, and a second feeding of 1 mal of rice and 5 doe of nuruk powder is set against the jar wall, leaving the middle empty. The jar is kept cool and opened around 15 May, when the taste is very sweet and fragrant.
Sallim gyeongje method (as quoted in the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture)The nuruk lumps are made on the first pig day (sanghaeil) of the first lunar month, layered with pine needles and kept in a cooler part of the room; the wine is ready in 7 days in spring and 21 in summer, with the jar set in water.
Modern recipe1 kg of rice, 300 g of nuruk and 1 g of yeast, fermented 15–20 days indoors at 15–20 °C.
Safety
Keep the wine cold. The Rural Development Administration stores it in the refrigerator. The Sallim gyeongje, quoted in the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, warns against putting raw water in the jar. The encyclopedia adds that nuruk lumps kept in a warm place rot at the centre and show blue spots. In Kim's study, wine made by the traditional method kept for a year without heat treatment or preservatives. The abstract reports its enzyme activity and gives no storage temperature or safety test.
The Encyclopedia of Korean Culture says ihwaju has existed since the Goryeo period and appears in Dongguk Isang-guk jip, Hallim byeolgok, Sallim gyeongje, Imwon gyeongjeji and other texts. The Sangayorok (Jeon Sun-ui, about 1450) gives a recipe, and the Gosa sinseo (Seo Myeong-eung, 1771) gives another.
