About
Haenyeo (해녀, sea women) are female free divers in Jeju Island. They make a living by collecting seaweed and other sea life from the ocean.
Born and raised in Jeju, Kim Soo Jung, a haenyeo, was always proud of the seafood from her beloved island. In her younger days, she started selling fresh seafood she harvested from the ocean. Roughly two decades passed, and her small venture grew to be Gimnyeong Haenyeo Village in Manje. Her commitment is to provide fresh, cleanly prepared seafood to customers. Everyday Gimnyeong Haenyeo Village is full of energy and laughter of life long haenyeo.

Description
Hijiki (톳 in Korean) is a brown sea vegetable growing wild on rocky coastlines around Korea and Japan. An important part of the Japanese diet for centuries, hijiki is rich in dietary fiber, and essential minerals. Low in calories, hijiki is also good for people on a diet.
There are multiple ways to consume hijiki depending on its size or age. Fresh hijiki usually mixed with vinegar can serve as a hijiki vegetable side dish. Grown hijiki is often dried, blanched and cut into small pieces.
Gimnyeong Haenyeo Village is a cooperative of haenyeo, female fishing divers in the Korean province of Jeju. They hand harvest wild hijiki from the ocean. This hijiki has a long shelf life as it is dry. Putting this on your rice, soup or baby food will upgrade it to a nutritious, healthy, flavorful meal.
“히지키 (Hijiki)”란 이름으로 널리 알려진 톳은 식이섬유가 풍부하고 칼슘, 철분, 마그네슘 함유량도 높은 건강식품이지요. 특히 제주도 바다에서 자라는 톳은 바다의 불로초라고 불릴 정도로 영양분이 뛰어나요. 칼로리가 낮아 체중 조절식단에도 자주 쓰입니다.
톳은 크기나 자란 기간에 따라서 섭취방법도 조금씩 달라요. 생톳은 부드러워서 식초를 이용한 톳나물이나 톳무침으로 드실 수 있고요. 완전히 자란 톳은 주로 말린 후 삶아 드시거나 밥 지을 때 넣는 톳밥으로 드실 수 있어요.
제주 김녕해녀마을은 완전히 자란톳을 선별해서 데치고 건조한 뒤 밥알처럼 생긴 톳을 만들어요. 건조했기 때문에 보관이 편하고 사용기간도 길지요. 국에 넣거나 밥 또는 이유식에 조금 얹어 드실 수도 있고 일식집에 나오듯 반찬으로도 유용합니다.

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.
