I bought this syrup to make several Korean recipes that called for it. It's my understanding that this rice syrup is a little different from the brown rice syrup made and sold in the US. I wanted authentic ingredients, which is why I chose to buy this.
This syrup is very thick, and it's kind of sticky. I had to squeeze it out of the bottle because it was too thick to pour. It doesn't have a lot of flavor and it's not super sweet, but then it's not supposed to be drizzled over pancakes so that's okay. The purpose is to add just the right amount of sweetness and gloss to Korean recipes. I use it in Korean sauces and side dishes.
If you are looking for standard brown rice syrup for baking, you might want to try Lundberg. If you are preparing authentic Korean dishes, you'll definitely want to use the real thing. The Ottogi brand has a good reputation for quality, and it's imported from Korea. I'll keep buying this.
