Dansul (Korean: 단술; lit. sweet wine) or gamju (감주; 甘酒) is a milky (or cloudy) Korean rice wine made with rice, glutinous rice, and nuruk (fermentation starter).[1][2][3][4] Due to the incomplete fermentation of the rice, the wine has relatively low alcohol content (2‒3% ABV) and sweet and slightly tangy notes.[5]
