The name
Why we named it Moju Yeo
I don't drink. But I always loved the moju my sister-in-law brewed for church gatherings — the way her mother and grandmother made it, for more than twenty years. "You should sell this," I told her. In July 2022 that sentence became a small room facing the old Gyeonggijeon shrine.
The name is Moju Yeo. Yeo is the character 與 — "together." We named it for a place where you sit across from someone and share. You've come all this way; I want you to feel at ease here. My mother always said that if something bothers you, it bothers others too. So we set your table before you arrive. When you walk in, I want you to feel: today, someone is taking care of me.
The moon on the sign has been with us since that first room. Here, the guest is the moon. Today we're in a 1960s hanok with a garden, and my sister-in-law is still at the tables. We call the person who brews with you the moju host. My sister-in-law was the first.

The moon in the courtyard. Along the path we planted evening primrose, a flower that opens only when the moon is up.
