Brewer, Inbeon

[Inbeon]
Hic! Hello everyone! I am Inbeon, the master brewer of Baekje. As I’m in charge of presenting delicious alcoholic beverages to the king, I drink all the time and am often drunk. Hic!

Unlike today, alcohol was a sacred beverage in ancient times, as people believed it helped to establish close relationships between people and connected people with heaven. Hic! Thus ancient people drank alcohol at a proper time or place.

Hic! I was the person who introduced this sacred alcohol to Japan. I was sent to Japan during the 5th century and taught Japanese people how to brew alcoholic beverages. Because of this, Japanese people still regard me as the god of alcohol.

Not only brewing techniques, but also recreational games from Baekje were introduced to Japan. The most popular one was a competitive game that involved throwing pieces of wood in much the way one throws dice. This game was very popular in Japan, but it was later corrupted by gambling, and the Japanese government was forced to ban it. Ho-ho! Alcohol or games - everything should be done in moderation. Don’t you agree?
