About Us:
At Kim’C Market, our mission is to introduce a better, more authentic culinary experience—by offering premium Korean food products that are healthy, tasty, and thoughtfully sourced.
We started Kim’C Market because getting real Korean groceries in the U.S. was nearly impossible—unless you stuffed your suitcase on the way back from Korea. You deserve more than what’s on the shelves at generic supermarkets.
Not All Korean Rice Is The Same
Not all rice labeled “Korean” is truly Korean. Our Golden Queen III is a rare short-grain variety grown exclusively in Korea’s Seosan region and milled fresh in New York. It delivers a level of authenticity, flavor, and quality that mass-produced rice simply can’t match.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can we know the crop year of the rice?
Korean rice is harvested once a year - normally between mid/late September and early November depending on varieties. Then they need time for drying.
Because we mill fresh upon a customer's order - even when you order brown rice, the crop year matters not so much. It will
always taste fresh and good. Michelin-starred restaurants still serve some of our crops from 24 months back as it's safe to consume.
Do we have to store our milled rice in the refrigerator?
We also grew up keeping our rice in the pantry, but it turns out the rice that's sold in grocery stores is milled a while back and kept at room temperature, so there's no need to keep it in the fridge.
We learned from our rice producers that once rice is milled, it's like it is freshly produced (the protective bran has been milled off), therefore we offer smaller batches to enjoy it fresh and why we recommend
refrigerator storage. Please note, even our brown rice is milled at a very low rate, to provide fresh brown rice with much of the bran still on the rice.
Does this rice come with cooking guidance?
Yes. Each order includes detailed cooking instructions, and we recommend storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve freshness and prevent natural rice eggs from hatching due to minimal pesticide use.
Can this rice help with authentic flavor profiles?
Yes. The unique mineral composition from Seosan's reclaimed land creates rice with unmatched rich, aromatic profiles and natural sweetness. You can choose from 5 different polish levels (0% to 100%) to match your exact taste preferences.
Will this rice work with my current cooking methods?
Definitely. Use water ¾–1 inch above the rice, bring to a boil uncovered, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it rest covered for another 10 minutes. Works with any stovetop method you're already using.
Can this rice help with achieving restaurant-quality results?
Yes. This is the exact same Golden Queen III variety beloved by chefs at top Michelin-starred establishments. The fresh-milling process ensures you get the same quality rice that professional kitchens use, with perfect texture retention even as leftovers.
What is a “milling rate”?
The milling rate refers to how much of the rice kernel’s outer layers (hull, bran, germ) get removed during processing. A higher milling rate means more removed—resulting in whiter rice; a lower rate retains more bran and germ. Learn more: How to Customize Your Rice – Kim’C Market
Why does milling rate matter?
It impacts nutrition, flavor, cooking time, texture, and digestibility. Lower milling rates (less polished rice) retain more fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins, but take longer to cook. Higher milling rates yield softer, stickier rice with a milder flavor and faster cook time. Learn more: How to Customize Your Rice – Kim’C Market
What milling rate options can I choose?
You can select anywhere from brown rice (minimal milling) to fully polished white rice, including intermediate options like 50% or 70% milling—offering a balance between flavor, texture, and nutrition. Learn more: How to Customize Your Rice – Kim’C Market
How does Kim’C Market handle milling differently?
Kim’C Market mills rice on the day of shipment to ensure peak freshness and flavor. Each package is printed with the exact milling date, so you know exactly when it was processed. Learn more: How to Customize Your Rice – Kim’C Market
How should I decide which milling rate is right for me?
Brown or lower-milled rice → More nutrients, hearty texture, longer cook time
Higher-milled white rice → Softer, stickier, milder flavor, faster cooking Intermediate milling options give you a middle ground of both qualities.
