Highlights

A traditional Korean grain syrup made from five organic grains, with no sugar at all. The sweetness is slow-cooked out of the grains themselves — rice, barley, brown rice, glutinous rice, and black beans — for an amber, mellow syrup you can use anywhere you'd use sugar.

Ingredients: Organic rice, barley, brown rice, glutinous rice, black beans — all Korean-grown
Purity check: No added sugar; vegan
Process: Slow-cooked into syrup (jocheong) from a family recipe, on the family's own farm
Net weight: 310g (11 oz)
Storage method: Store in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening
Good to know: A one-for-one sugar swap — use about 1¼ cups of syrup for 1 cup of sugar.

유기농 곡물 다섯 가지로 만든 전통 조청이에요. 설탕은 전혀 넣지 않았죠. 쌀·보리·현미·찹쌀·검은콩, 이 다섯 곡물을 뭉근하게 고아 곡물 자체의 단맛을 끌어냈어요. 호박빛에 부드럽게 달아, 설탕 쓰던 자리에 그대로 쓰면 됩니다.

Description

Five grains, no sugar

This is jocheong — Korean grain syrup — cooked the traditional way from five organic grains: rice, barley, brown rice, glutinous rice, and black beans. There's no sugar and no oligosaccharide; the sweetness comes entirely from slow-cooking the grains until they turn sweet on their own. It pours amber and smooth, with a rounder, more savory sweetness than a plain sugar syrup.

A family recipe, farm to bottle

Father's Hill grows its own organic grains in Goheung and cooks the syrup on-site, in small batches, following a recipe passed down in the family. Because it's unrefined and made slowly, the flavor reads as grain rather than flat sweetness — the difference you notice the moment it goes into a dish.

How to use it

Use it as a direct sugar substitute — about 1¼ cups of syrup per cup of sugar. It's especially good in Korean cooking, glazing galbi or seasoning a fish braise, and it works just as well stirred into coffee or tea, brushed onto pancakes with a little cinnamon, or spooned over fruit and yogurt.

다섯 곡물, 설탕은 없이

이건 유기농 곡물 다섯 가지 — 쌀·보리·현미·찹쌀·검은콩 — 로 옛 방식 그대로 고아 만든 조청이에요. 설탕도, 올리고당도 넣지 않았죠. 단맛은 오직 곡물을 오래 끓여 스스로 달아지게 한 데서 나옵니다. 호박빛으로 부드럽게 흐르고, 설탕 시럽보다 둥글고 구수한 단맛이 나요.

천천히 정성을 담아낸 조청

아빠랑은 고흥에서 유기농 곡물을 직접 길러, 집안에 내려오는 방식대로 그 자리에서 소량씩 조청을 고아요. 정제하지 않고 천천히 만들기에, 밋밋한 단맛이 아니라 곡물의 맛이 살아 있죠. 요리에 넣는 순간 바로 느껴지는 차이예요.

이렇게 쓰세요

설탕 대신 그대로 쓰면 됩니다. 설탕 한 컵 자리에 조청 약 1¼컵이 기준이에요. 특히 한식에 잘 어울려서 갈비 양념이나 생선 조림에 좋고, 커피·차에 넣거나 계핏가루 살짝 더해 팬케이크에 발라도, 과일이나 요거트에 얹어도 좋습니다.

About

Father's Hill began with a father. When his daughter Nahee was born with severe eczema, Juho — then an engineer at a semiconductor company — left his job and moved his family back to his hometown of Goheung, in Jeollanam-do, so he could feed her without refined sugar. He began farming organic grains and making traditional grain syrup (jocheong) the slow, old-fashioned way, as a sugar replacement she could eat freely, and went on to develop what's often called Korea's first no-sugar jam. Everything is still made in Goheung from good Korean-grown fruit and organic-certified grains, with no added sugar.

아빠랑은 한 아빠의 마음에서 시작됐어요. 딸 나희가 심한 아토피를 안고 태어나자, 반도체 회사 엔지니어였던 주호 씨는 직장을 그만두고 고향인 전남 고흥으로 가족과 함께 내려갔습니다. 정제 설탕 없이 아이를 먹이고 싶었거든요. 그는 유기농 곡물을 직접 기르고, 설탕을 대신할 전통 조청을 옛 방식 그대로 뭉근하게 고아 만들기 시작했고, 이후 '국내 첫 무설탕 잼'으로 불리는 제품까지 개발했어요. 지금도 모든 제품은 고흥에서 좋은 국산 과일과 유기농 곡물로, 설탕을 넣지 않고 만듭니다.

01 · OUR CRAFT

Made By Hand, Not By Machine

Every jar and bottle comes from master artisans and small family producers across Korea, not a factory line. They still ferment in traditional earthenware, age for months or even years, and follow methods passed down through generations, the same way it's always been done.

02 · OUR PROOF

Recognized By Chefs, Not Just Labels

Our producers hold official heritage titles and food-safety certifications that aren't handed out easily. Many have been featured by international media and praised by Michelin-starred chefs around the world, proof that real craftsmanship gets noticed, not just claimed on a label.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I receive my package?

We ship out orders only in the US, no later than
two business days after the balance on your order has been processed.
Delivery is made 1-3 days from date the label is created with selected
carrier service.

How do you source?

With our mission to improve people’s health by
providing premium Korean foods, Kim’C Market only offers the best
quality food from the finest producers in Korea. All of our offerings

Sell by date

Every food product at Kim'C Market with less than 3 months to the sell by dates announce the date in the title page.

As a small company focusing on the best customer experience and
transparency, Kim'C Market is putting a weight on sharing information on food and correcting myths instead of asking producers to print later dates. (Fact: producers put a lot shorter dates than the lab tests suggest because they can't control the storage and distribution.) Sell by date doesn't mean the food is bad after the date or not edible. It especially doesn't reply to fermented foods - i.e. wouldn't you value aged kimchi or 5 years fermented doenjang? Please read our blog: Understanding Best-By Dates. We will continue to make efforts to educate our members and contribute to anti-global warming efforts.
