Gimpo makkeolli in blue bottles (as far as I can tell by the label and taste) contains no additives. It's brewed traditionally, simply from rice. The taste is only a little sweet, and so to me it's about the best I've had.

So if you're tired of drinking makkeolli that tastes of diet soda, try this!

What's up with the aspartame in Mokkoli? I like to drink the local Geumjeongsan stuff in Busan. I was shocked to find aspartame on the label, along with plenty of advertisements about how it's natural live mokkoli and has been made there for 500 years.

느린 마을 (Neurin Maeul) doesn't have aspartame either. I've seen it at Lotte Mart and a shop of theirs near Dobongsan.

Aspartame = safe

Besides possible health effects, I would just prefer a more sour natural taste to the diet cokish taste of aspartame.
