쌀은 냄새를 흡수하는 성질도 강해요. 주변에 조리해 놓은 국냄비나 손질한 음식재료, 참기름, 세제 등 강한 냄새를 풍기는 것과는 거리를 유지해 주세요. 밀폐 용기에 담아 냉장보관하시는 것을 최우선으로 추천드려요.

Description

Which rice breed tastes the best? This is one of the most frequently asked questions from our customers. It’s a difficult question as everyone has different palates and preferences. So, we created rice samplers. You can taste them and find out your favorite one among our offerings.

Gawaji: This is a rare and meaningful rice variety developed by the Gyeonggi Provincial Agricultural Research Institute in partnership with the city of Goyang. It carries the legacy of being considered the first cultivated rice on the Korean Peninsula. Bearing the name of Gawaji Village in Goyang, this historic grain connects the present to Korea’s agricultural roots. And for good reason - it’s the favorite of Chef Hooni Kim, the first chef to earn a Michelin star for Korean cuisine.

Organic Koshihikari: Koshihikari is the rice many consider the benchmark of premium short-grain rice, prized for its glossy grains, gentle sweetness, and soft, sticky texture. Our Organic Koshihikari takes this excellence further: it is grown in the reclaimed tidal farmland of Beolgyo, Jeollanam-do, by a farming couple who have practiced organic farming for more than 40 years. Each grain cooks up plump and lustrous, with a tender bite and a clean, lingering sweetness that makes it an everyday staple you will never tire of.

Saechungmu: As the largest rice-producing region in South Korea, Jeollanam-do is known for cultivating some of the country’s finest grains—and Saechungmu is a rising star among them. With its plump grains and exceptional taste, Saechungmu delivers a soft, satisfying texture that stands the test of time. Thanks to its naturally low protein content, the rice remains tender and flavorful even after it cools, making it a versatile favorite for any meal.

무슨 쌀 품종이 제일 맛있어요? 김씨마켓이 가장 많이 듣는 질문 중 하나입니다. 먹어보지 않고는 알 수 없지요. 쌀마다 각각 다른 맛과 향, 식감을 갖고 있어서 . 그래서 미슐랭 스타 식당들에 김씨마켓이 공급하는 쌀 품종들로 샘플러를 구성해 봤습니다. 직접 맛을 보고 가장 마음에 드는 품종을 골라보세요.

가와지: 가와지는 경기도농업기술원가 연구 개발하고 고양시가 특별히 아끼고 재배하는 쌀 품종이에요. 한반도 최초로 재배된 쌀로 알려진 이 품종은 고양시 가와지 마을의 이름을 따서 지어졌습니다. 역사적인 가치를 지닌 가와지는 과거와 현재를 잇는 특별한 곡물이랍니다. 이런 깊은 스토리와 탁월한 품질 덕분에, 가와지는 미슐랭 스타를 받은 최초의 한식 셰프, 김훈이 셰프가 가장 좋아하는 쌀이 되었습니다.

유기농 고시히카리 : 고시히카리는 윤기 나는 밥알과 은은한 단맛, 부드럽고 찰진 식감으로 오랫동안 프리미엄 쌀의 기준으로 꼽혀 온 품종입니다. 김씨마켓의 유기농 고시히카리는 전남 벌교 간척지에서 40년 넘게 유기농법을 실천해 온 농부 부부가 길러 그 품격이 더욱 특별합니다. 밥을 지으면 쌀알이 통통하고 윤기가 흐르며, 부드러운 식감과 깔끔하게 남는 단맛 덕분에 매일 먹어도 질리지 않는 밥이 됩니다.

새청무: 전라남도는 한국에서 쌀 생산을 가장 많이 하는 곳이지요. 그곳에서 잘 자라는 새청무는 떠오르는 신예에 비교할 수 있겠네요. 쌀알이 굵고 밥맛이 좋으며 단백질이 특히 낮아서 밥이 식어도 딱딱해지지 않고 식감이 상당히 오래 유지됩니다.

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.

I'd like to suggest some products. Whom should I contact?

We are open to any suggestions as we want to make the best available for our customers. Please contact us using our Contact Form for your recommendations and a representative will follow up.
