Description
Experience Joseon Yugi, a masterful blend of copper and tin crafted using centuries-old mudflat casting techniques dating back to the 16th century. Each handmade pot carries unique character and outstanding quality, celebrated for its sterilization and antibacterial features. This artisanal pot cooks rice evenly with a fluffy, sticky texture, perfect for 3 to 4 servings.
How to use:
- Soak rice and ingredients.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn off heat and let steam for 5 minutes.
- Enjoy your perfectly cooked meal.
Care instructions:
- Before first use, soak in a lukewarm water and vinegar (30:1) solution to reveal a subtle golden tint.
- Clean using mild detergent mixed with vinegar to prevent stains and odor.
- Discoloration or food stains from flame exposure are normal and safe.
- After washing, dry thoroughly with a towel to avoid water stains; regular polishing will enhance the bronze sheen.
- Use specialized yugi scrubbers (available via Kim’C Market) to gently remove stains along the grain.
- Suitable for gas stoves; not recommended for microwave, oven, induction, or dishwasher (if used, low temperature only).

About
Hwang Jooyeon leads Joseon Yugi, continuing a three-generation artisan legacy. Since 1978, the family has crafted bangjja yugi bronzeware using traditional casting with copper (83.3%) and tin (16.7%), no synthetic chemicals. Each pot is hand-forged through nine detailed steps, including clay mold casting and multiple hand-trimming and polishing phases, creating unique, heirloom-quality pieces.
Since 1990, Joseon Yugi has focused on merging tradition with modern needs, producing items for contemporary living while preserving heritage techniques. They have contributed to the restoration of ritual bronze ware for the National Palace Museum of Korea’s UNESCO-recognized Jongmyo ceremonies since 2012. Today, the company continues under the guidance of six experienced artisans alongside Hwang Jooyeon.

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?
