Description
Made in the sun-soaked valley of Jookjang-ri, this gochujang is fermented for 1,000 days using only Korean red pepper powder, malt syrup, sweet rice, and salt. No shortcuts, no preservatives—just nature, time, and tradition. Each jar is carefully aged in Onggi pots crafted by Master Potter Lee Moonam (Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 25), and favored by Michelin-starred chefs in New York and San Francisco.

Featured In:
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
have passed 12 internal criteria including taste, producer’s reputation,
sourcing of ingredients, and brand philosophy.
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.
