[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Jeollanam-do Muan-gun (Governor Kim San) held a public tasting event on the 14th to evaluate the entries submitted by participants in the ‘Muan Sweet Potato Dansul Competition’.

According to the county on the 22nd, the public tasting event, held for the first time, was conducted at Unnam-myeon Office and Unnam Nonghyup, targeting public officials, local residents, and Nonghyup officials. The tasting was done blind, with the names of the entrants concealed, and the results were voted on for popularity.

The public tasting event for general participants started in Unnam-myeon, followed by Mangun-myeon on the 21st, Muan-eup on the 28th, Mongtan-myeon on the 3rd of next month, and the integrated operation and selection for the regional units of Illo-eup, Samhyang-eup, and Cheonggye-myeon on the 4th due to insufficient participants (the tasting event will be held at the Muan-gun Agricultural Technology Center). It will then be held at the respective eup/myeon offices in Hyeongyeong-myeon on the 10th and Haeje-myeon on the 11th.

As a result of recruiting participants for the Dansul Artisan category of this competition, a total of 49 people challenged the tasting event as of the deadline on the 8th.

The final Dansul artisans will be selected by combining 50% of the general public tasting results and 50% of the separate expert tasting results, with one person chosen from each eup/myeon (separate selection for regional units).

The results of the judging will be announced in the order of Unnam, Mangun, and Muan on the 3rd of next month; Mongtan and regional units (Illo, Samhyang, Cheonggye) on the 10th; and Hyeongyeong and Haeje on the 17th.

Governor Kim San said, “I hope this tasting event for the general public will be an opportunity to upgrade the taste of Muan Dansul to the next level,” and added, “We ask for much interest and participation in the Dansul Competition, which can evoke old memories and flavors.”

Meanwhile, Muan-gun plans to conduct nutritional analysis of the Dansul entries submitted to this Muan Sweet Potato Dansul Competition and to discover various promotional contents targeting the Dansul artisans selected by eup/myeon. Through this, they aim to revitalize Muan sweet potato processing and develop Dansul as a new representative local beverage product.
