Ihwaju is an old Korean rice wine named after the pear blossom; an 18th-century text says to brew it after the pear trees flower. Steamed rice flour is mixed with this rice nuruk and malt powder and packed into a jar with no added water. It ripens into a very sweet, low-alcohol wine that keeps for a year without heating or preservatives. Made in 7 steps over 17 days. The longest step, incubate the nuruk, takes 10 days (Kim J.O 1993) and runs at 25–28 °C (Kim J.O 1993). 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.
Amounts from a sourceOne batch reconstructed in 1991 by Kim and Kim from a traditional maker in Andong, using about 4.8 kg of rice for the wine and 1.8 kg for the nuruk.

In trial soaks the rice took 12 days at 12 °C, 7 days at 14–15 °C and 5–6 days at 16–18 °C. A rank smell and a scum on the water show the soak is working. Output: soaked, softened rice.

What makes this one different
Ihwaju is made with a nuruk of rice instead of wheat, and with no water added to the mash, so it stays very sweet and low in alcohol. Wikipedia's makgeolli article describes it as thick enough to eat with a spoon. The rice nuruk carries mainly one mould, Aspergillus oryzae, and one yeast, Hansenula, unlike the mixed flora of wheat nuruk.
Nuruk in Sallim gyeongje (about 1715)Rice flour is shaped into egg-sized balls three days before the first pig day (haeil) of the first lunar month, wrapped in pine needles and kept 28 days in a room that is not warm.
Jeungbo sallim gyeongje method (1766)The wine is brewed after the pear blossom; rice flour is made into ring cakes, boiled, cooled and mixed with nuruk powder. It is ready in 7 days in spring and 3 days in summer, with the jar set in water.
Safety
In the 1993 study the wine kept for a year without heat treatment or preservatives, at about pH 3.9.
Ihwaju recipes appear in Korean texts from the early 18th century, including Sallim gyeongje (about 1715) and Jeungbo sallim gyeongje (1766). In 1991 Kim and Kim recorded the method from a traditional maker in Andong and brewed it.
