Lihing

For the similar Filipino rice wine of the Manobo people, see Agkud.

Not to be confused with Li hing mui, a type of Chinese salty-dried plum.

Lihing is a type of Malaysian rice wine that originated from the state of Sabah. It was made from "pulut", a glutinous rice and is a traditional rice wine for the Kadazan-Dusun people.^[3] The rice wine is also referred as hiing (in certain Dusun dialects), kinarung, kinomol, kinopi, linahas, sagantang as well tapai.^[1] They are different from one another, but all are made from rice-based drinks. Lihing is sold widely in Sabah including in some major hotels.
