Thats whats boss mean i guess hahahaaa

Let me clear few things here! You make 'Sikhye' first with rice and malt(barley). Fermentation process produces sweet drink called 'Sikhye'. You take 'Sikhey' and boil it down to syrup and you get 'Jocheong'. What is 'Jocheong'? Sugar was very expensive and rare in Korea until late 1900s. So 'Jocheong' was used instead of Sugar. If you ever cooked Korean food before you might notice use of sugar is very common in Korean food. It used to be 'Jocheong' not sugar. 'Jocheong' is still used in expensive Korean restaurants, since it provides rich and deep sweetness unlike sugar. I am Korean Chef who makes and serve 'Sikhye' as desert in my restaurant. I don't make 'Jocheong' with my 'sikhye' since making a syrup is extremely time consuming and difficult.

The operating costs is quite high for a workshop, labor is too in korea where current inflation hurts business. He probably took a lot of household debt to fund this endeavor hoping to come up with a huge profit margins, its normal in Korea, unfortunately we have the highest household debt among the OECD. Realistically though, most Koreans would not buy high-quality rice syrup from Jeolla-do like his, we would like most people buy the cheaper brand-name rice syrups. I don't think he will meet the profit margins to pay off the interest on the debt also like most Koreans and will probably take out more loans to pay off the interest rate. Him being featured on Insider Business is probably based on the hopes of seeing more foreign clientele to offset the lack of interest from domestic consumers because foreigners will likely pay more for quality over quantity.

JoChung, translates to artificial honey, isn't really expensive. It's about $5-$10 per kilo. Korean culinary culture doesn't have much of sweets, even the desserts are mildly sweet because there weren't many ingredients to produce sweet flavors.

Thanks for opening my eyes to the many uses of rice!

Malt and malt syrup are also hugely important in brewing and baking. The principle enzyme in barley malt (beta-amylase) cleaves starches into simple sugars which in this case allows them to make syrup. But in brewing you want the enzyme to make sugars to feed the yeast and drive up your ABV. In baking, breaking down some of the starches with malt changes the flavor, texture and appearance of your bread. Old school NY bagels (the best kind) typically have some malt or malt syrup in the dough.

I use to serve Sikhye as dessert (not what's on the video btw) for my college friends and they all love the stuff. They all switched from red bull to Sikhye 😂 They also love BonBon (grape juice with pulp) and claim its the best grape juice they ever had 👍

Eating sugar just removes that process, which is why our body loves it so much. Sugar in moderation is not only not bad, but it's actually good for you. It's the filth they concoct using all sorts of chemicals that's actually bad. Avoid artificial/chemically made garbage they peddle as a 'healthier' alternative. Cane sugar and natural syrup like rice/maple are much healthier for you in moderation.

I feel like they made it out to be fancier than it actually is. This is literally just maltose-malt sugar. The amylase enzyme in the malted barley breaks down the starch in the rice into malt sugar and then they boil it down. People do this in China too, and use it to make sweets like dragon's beard candy, sachima, peanut/sesame candies, and other confectionaries.
