Description

In Korean cooking, jang (장)—fermented pastes and sauces—is the foundation of almost every dish. Gochujang, doenjang, soy sauce, and good salt quietly anchor the meal, bringing depth, balance, and comfort.

The Master Kisoondo Jang Essentials Holiday Gift Box gathers four of Master Ki Soondo’s signature creations in one refined set, designed for modern, health-conscious home cooks who still care about heritage and craft.

Strawberry Gochujang

Kisoondo’s Strawberry Gochujang is made with 100% Korean ingredients and traditionally fermented for over six months. The result is a thick, rich paste that layers the deep heat of fermented red peppers with the gentle sweetness and subtle texture of Damyang strawberries. With no additives, it adds an authentic Korean flavor and a soft fruity note to grain bowls, roasted vegetables, eggs, and even marinades.

Traditional Doenjang

The Fermentation Master Ki Soondo’s Traditional Doenjang is made with only three ingredients: beans, bamboo salt, and water. Each batch is prepared with patience and sincerity, following methods that have been passed down for 400 years. The flavor is quietly complex—nutty, savory, and clean—perfect for doenjang jjigae, simple vegetable dips, or adding depth to soups and stews.

Traditional Soy Sauce (Ganjang)

Master Ki Soondo’s Traditional Soy Sauce is also crafted with just soybeans, bamboo salt, and water. The soybeans come from local regions such as Muan, Goheung, and Damyang. The bamboo salt is made by burning three-year sun-dried sea salt, and the water is sourced from Walbong Mountain. Slowly fermented, this soy sauce is deeply flavored yet smooth, ideal for seasoning broths, dressings, namul, and braises.

Bamboo Salt (Jugyeom)

Grand Master Ki Soondo’s bamboo salt, crafted over four days, is the quiet secret behind her jang. Bamboo salt, or jugyeom, is made by packing sun-dried sea salt into bamboo sections and roasting them over pine firewood at high temperatures. Master Ki uses three-year-old Damyang bamboo and Yellow Sea salt, then fires them continuously in a brick-and-clay kiln for three days until only white salt “pillars” remain. Use it as a finishing salt to brighten vegetables, tofu, grilled fish, or even fruit.

한국 요리에서 장( jang)은 늘 가장 밑바탕에 깔려 있는 존재입니다.
고추장, 된장, 간장, 그리고 좋은 소금 한 줌이 더해지면, 단순한 밥 한 그릇도 깊이와 균형, 편안함이 느껴지는 한 끼가 되죠.

Kisoondo Jang Essentials Holiday Gift Box는 이 네 가지를 모두 지키고 있는 기순도 명인의 시그니처 장과 죽염을 요즘 라이프스타일에 맞게, 하지만 전통과 장인의 손맛은 그대로 담아낸 세트입니다.  몸에 들어가는 것, 식탁에 올라오는 것에 관심을 가지는 분들께 적합한 소중한 선물이 될거에요. 전해보세요.

About

Master Ki Soondo, Korea’s 35th designated master of traditional foods, has spent nearly 50 years perfecting jang. Every year in November (lunar calendar), she prepares meju blocks, ferments them with roasted bamboo salt, and matures them in earthenware jars under Damyang’s open sky. Her fermentation legacy is rooted in a 400-year-old soy sauce culture, known as 'Ssiganjang', and preserved through over 1,000 jars cared for by her family in the tranquil forests of Jeollanam-do.
