While wandering around the streets of Hongdae, I stumbled upon the most charming little shop — 아몽하르 (Amongharu).
Here, you can create your own DIY fruit wine, layering fresh fruits, spices, and your choice of liquor into a beautiful glass bottle.
I filled mine with strawberries, kiwi slices, orange peels, cinnamon sticks, and a few dried flowers — it looks like I've bottled up an entire spring afternoon.
The whole process feels so soothing, from picking out the ingredients to sealing the bottle. It’s like preparing a tiny gift for my future self.
Now, I just have to patiently wait for it to ferment — a slow and sweet anticipation.
The name "Amongharu" means "a day of dreams," and honestly, spending time here truly felt like stepping into a soft, quiet dream.
If you ever visit Hongdae, don’t miss the chance to stop by, craft your own bottle, and take home not just a drink — but a memory.
