If you are looking for a traditional liquor experience in March or April, it is better to check the Yoonjudang brewing class schedule first.
The one-day class and the monthly class are different in how you book, how long the class runs, and what you need to prepare.
If you sort out the booking method, schedule check points, and inquiry channel in one place, the whole process becomes much easier.

1. What kind of class is it
The Yoonjudang brewing class is a hands-on traditional liquor class near Anguk, where participants make Korean alcohol directly.
There is a one-day class for a single visit and a monthly class that runs for four weeks, so it is easier to choose based on your purpose.
It helps to decide first whether you want a short experience or a longer class that explains the brewing process step by step.
| Category | Format | How to join | Best for | Main point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-day class | One session | Choose a date and time, then book | Short trip, first-time visitors, simple experience | Easier to join without a long schedule |
| Monthly class | Four-week course | Join on the listed class dates | People who want to learn traditional liquor in more detail | Covers the process in several stages |
| Class topic | Traditional liquor and makgeolli brewing | The details change depending on ingredients and method | People who prefer hands-on classes | Practice is a large part of the class |
| Studio type | Workshop-style studio | Small group flow | Solo visitors or small groups | Reservation-based attendance |
If this is your first visit, the one-day class is easier because you can check the overall atmosphere and class flow without much pressure. If you want to learn the process itself, including ingredients and fermentation, the monthly class fits better.

2. March and April schedule
When checking March and April bookings, it is better to look at the actual class dates and time slots, not just the calendar page.
For the Yoonjudang brewing class, the one-day class may run on the same date with separate afternoon and evening time slots.
The monthly class follows a fixed weekly schedule, so it is important not to miss the starting date.
| Category | Date | Time | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| April one-day example | Friday, April 3 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Ssuk makgeolli |
| April one-day example | Thursday, April 9 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Ssuk makgeolli |
| April one-day example | Thursday, April 16 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Cherry blossom makgeolli |
| April one-day example | Thursday, April 23 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Cherry blossom makgeolli |
| April one-day example | Friday, April 24 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Cherry blossom makgeolli |
| April one-day example | Thursday, April 30 | 1 PM / 6 PM | Cherry blossom makgeolli |
| April monthly class example | Sunday, April 12 | 1 PM to 4 PM | Week 1 |
| April monthly class example | Sunday, April 19 | 1 PM to 4 PM | Week 2 |
| April monthly class example | Sunday, April 26 | 1 PM to 4 PM | Week 3 |
| April monthly class example | Sunday, May 3 | 1 PM to 4 PM | Week 4 |
If you want to add a class to a late-April Seoul trip, it is faster to check the one-day class dates first. If you want one booking that continues over several weeks, it makes more sense to check the monthly class schedule first.

3. How to book the one-day class
The one-day class works through direct booking on Smart Store, where you choose the date and time slot yourself.
The Yoonjudang brewing class one-day option is closer to picking an available option and paying for it than going through a long manual booking process.
It is easier if you check which dates are open first, then choose the month, date, and time in order.
| Step | What to do | What to check | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Naver Smart Store page | Choose the one-day class product | Mixing it up with another product |
| 2 | Choose the month | Check whether it is March or April | Moving on with the wrong month selected |
| 3 | Choose the date | Pick the actual available date | Missing that some dates are sold out |
| 4 | Choose the time | Check the available time slot such as 1 PM or 6 PM | Choosing the wrong time |
| 5 | Continue to payment | Check the number of participants and selected option again | Forgetting to adjust the participant count |
| 6 | Confirm the booking | Check the order history after payment | Paying without checking the completed booking |
If you want to join after work, it is better to check whether the evening slot is open before you focus on the date itself. If you only have time during the day on a trip, checking the 1 PM slot first is more efficient.
4. Monthly class four-week course
The monthly class is not a single experience. It follows a weekly course, so the depth of the content is different.
The Yoonjudang brewing class monthly course covers the process in order, from nuruk and the base brew to the second brew and fermentation management.
It requires more time and schedule planning than the one-day class, but the content is much more detailed.
| Week | Topic | Practice | Main learning point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Brewing theory and basics | Making base nuruk | Understanding the basic structure of traditional liquor |
| Week 2 | Understanding the first stage of iyangju | Brewing with porridge-style mash | Learning the idea of ingredient balance and early fermentation |
| Week 3 | Understanding the second stage of iyangju | Adding steamed rice to the second brew | Understanding how fermentation develops further |
| Week 4 | Fermentation management and review | Nuruk check, filtering, tasting | Checking and comparing the final stage |
The one-day class focuses more on getting a quick hands-on result. The monthly class focuses on learning the process itself. If you want to understand why the class follows each step in that order, the monthly course is the better fit.
5. How to book through Naver Smart Store
On the booking page, the first thing to check is not the product title but the option structure.
The Yoonjudang brewing class booking flow requires you to choose the month, date, and time in order, so it is easy to go back and recheck if you miss one step.
On mobile, some options may look folded, so it helps to review the last selected values once more before payment.
| Item to check | How to review it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product title | Check first whether it is a one-day or monthly class | The class type is different |
| Option 1 | Choose the month | Monthly schedule changes |
| Option 2 | Choose the date | Confirms your visit day |
| Option 3 | Choose the time slot | Separates daytime and evening classes |
| Quantity | Confirm the participant count | Prevents booking errors |
| Final payment page | Review all selected values | Reduces the chance of wrong booking |
Sometimes you may mean to book March, but the page still has April selected in the option menu. Checking the month and date once more on the final payment page can prevent that kind of mistake.
6. What to check before choosing the date and time
Before looking at the class theme, it is better to match the class time with your own schedule first.
The Yoonjudang brewing class may use similar class names, but the actual operating time and topic can differ by date.
Even if the class name looks familiar, the booking does not help much if the available date and time do not fit your trip.
| Check point | Standard to review | Best time to check |
|---|---|---|
| Available month | Whether March or April works for you | Before opening the booking options |
| Weekday or weekend | Whether it fits your schedule | Before checking dates |
| Day or evening time | 1 PM, 6 PM, and other listed slots | Right after choosing a date |
| Travel time | Whether you can arrive near Anguk on time | Before final payment |
| Number of participants | Solo, pair, or group | Before checkout |
| Class length | About 1 hour 30 minutes for one-day, 3 hours for monthly | While planning your day |
If you are coming from far away, it is better to think about arrival time before the class start time itself. If you are also planning Anguk cafes or nearby stops, it helps to decide whether the daytime or evening class fits your route better.
7. How to use Naver TalkTalk for inquiries
If the booking page does not solve the issue, Naver TalkTalk is the most practical inquiry channel.
For cases like extra time requests or group bookings that do not appear in the listed options, it is better to ask before booking the Yoonjudang brewing class.
TalkTalk works especially well for groups of four or more, separate time requests, and detailed schedule questions.
| Situation that needs inquiry | What to ask through TalkTalk | What to prepare before asking |
|---|---|---|
| Group booking for 4 or more | Ask whether your preferred date can be opened | Number of people and preferred time |
| Separate time request | Ask whether another time is possible | Range of possible dates |
| Date not shown in options | Ask whether more dates will open in that month | The month you want |
| Monthly class details | Ask about the start date and class flow | The weeks you can attend |
| Cancellation or change | Ask what can be changed and how | Order number and booking date |
| Foreign guest inquiry | Ask whether non-Korean participants can join | Group details |
If four friends want to go together but the booking page does not show the time you want, it is better not to give up after checking the option list once. Prepare the group size and preferred time first, then ask through TalkTalk.

8. Class length and flow
The class length is clearly different between the one-day and monthly options, so your daily plan should also be different.
The Yoonjudang brewing class one-day session is listed at around 1 hour 30 minutes, while the monthly class runs for three hours per session.
Whether you want a short experience or a half-day class changes how you arrange the rest of your schedule.
| Category | Length | Basic flow | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-day class | About 1 hour 30 minutes | Introduction, ingredient explanation, hands-on brewing | Easy to combine with a meal or cafe stop |
| Monthly class | 1 PM to 4 PM | Weekly theory and practice | Better to leave half a day open |
| Arrival prep | It helps to arrive with some time to spare | Find the place first, then enter | Leave enough travel time |
| Finishing time | It may vary slightly depending on the class flow | Wrap-up and finish | Do not stack the next plan too tightly |
If you want to combine the class with cafes or galleries around Anguk, the one-day class fits well. The monthly class works better when the day is planned around the class itself.
9. Yoonjudang Brewing Class Cancellation and Refund
The refund rules are one of the first things to check before booking.
Because the class uses prepared ingredients, late cancellation limits are fairly clear, and this matters even more if your schedule is not fully settled.
It is better to check the refund rule at the same time as the date instead of looking only at the booking page.
| Cancellation timing | Refund rule | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 7 days before class | 100% refund | More flexible |
| Up to 5 days before class | 50% refund | Partial refund only |
| From 4 days before class to same day | No cancellation and no refund | Ingredient preparation already reflected |
| Cancellation due to low enrollment | Separate notice may be given | Depends on class operation |
| Date change inquiry | Needs separate confirmation | TalkTalk inquiry is recommended |
If your travel schedule can still change, it is better not to choose a date too close to the class. This matters even more for visitors coming from another city or from overseas, because transport plans often need to settle first.

10. Location and visit details
For a first visit, checking the location is often just as important as the booking itself.
If you know the walking distance from Anguk Station and the unit number in advance, getting to the Yoonjudang brewing class is much easier on the day.
Looking at the address and station route together can save time when you arrive.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Yoonjudang Studio |
| Address | 202, 26-12 Yulgok-ro 6-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul |
| Lot-number address example | 2F, 92 Unni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul |
| Nearest station | Anguk Station |
| Walking distance | About 431 meters from Exit 4 of Anguk Station |
| Phone | 0507-1300-5765 |
If you plan to walk from Anguk Station, it helps to check the exit number first. If you only look at the map loosely, you may end up searching again in the side streets, so it is better to note the unit number before you go.
