Highlights
Handcrafted traditional Korean yugi pot, expertly made in Bucheon with premium copper-tin alloy. Renowned for its antibacterial properties and superior heat retention, it keeps your soups warm throughout the meal. Ideal for 1–2 servings of authentic Korean soups and stews.
Description
The perfect companion for Korean soup cooking, this yugi pot blends traditional craftsmanship with everyday utility. Made from 83.3% copper and 16.7% tin, sourced from Hanbaek Non-ferrous Co., Ltd., yugi material is prized for its natural antibacterial effects and excellent heat conduction, enhancing flavor by keeping dishes hot and fresh.
Each piece is handmade using a centuries-old casting technique involving mudflat soil, giving each pot a unique character and superior durability. The samll pot's dimensions suit 1–2 servings (Ø5.9 × H2.76") and medium pot's dimensions suit 2-3 servings ( Ø6.69" × H2.76" ). Suitable for gas stove cooking only; not recommended for microwave, oven, induction, or dishwasher use (if used, low-temperature settings advised).
Care tips: Before first use, soak in lukewarm water with vinegar (30:1 ratio) to develop a subtle golden sheen. The bright silver color will deepen to a warm yellow over time due to oxidation. Clean with gentle yugi scrubbers or tomato ketchup to restore shine. Always dry thoroughly after washing and store in a sealed bag to prevent discoloration.
Kim’C Market’s Joseon Yugi pot comes elegantly packaged with traditional Korean wrapping, making it a thoughtful gift and a distinct addition to your kitchen.
이 조선 유기 뚝배기는 부천에서 장인이 직접 만든 전통 수작업품입니다. 구리 83.3%, 주석 16.7% 합금 소재로 항균성과 뛰어난 열보존력으로 국물 요리를 끝까지 따뜻하게 유지해줍니다. 1~2인용으로 한식 국과 찌개에 최적화된 사이즈입니다.
고대부터 전해 내려오는 갯토 주물 기술로 만들어져 각 제품마다 독특하고 견고한 특성을 지닙니다. 내경 지름 15cm, 높이 6.2cm로 가스렌지 전용이며 전자레인지, 오븐, 인덕션, 식기세척기 사용은 권장하지 않습니다(식기세척기 사용 시 낮은 온도 권장).
첫 사용 전, 물과 식초(30:1) 용액에 1시간 담가 은은한 금색 광택을 내세요. 시간이 지나며 산화되어 은빛에서 따뜻한 노란색으로 변합니다. 초록 수세미나 토마토 케첩으로 닦으면 광택을 쉽게 복원할 수 있습니다. 세척 후에는 물기를 완전히 닦아 보관할 때는 공기 차단 비닐에 보관하세요.
김씨마켓에서 전통 소창 보자기 포장과 함께 배송되며, 선물용으로도 손색없는 제품입니다.
About
Joseon Yugi is crafted by the Hwang family, preserving three generations of artisanal heritage. Specialized in bangjja yugi bronzeware, they employ traditional casting techniques dating back to the 16th century, using pure copper and tin alloys without chemicals.
Founded in 1978 by Hwang Yeonggun, the workshop evolved from producing Buddhist ceremonial items to perfecting functional bronze cookware known for its antibacterial benefits and elegant golden sheen. Today, Joseon Yugi balances tradition and modern needs while contributing to Korea’s cultural preservation, including restoration projects for UNESCO-registered Jongmyo rituals.
Each pot undergoes a meticulous nine-step process—casting with mudflat soil, hand trimming, shaving, and polishing by skilled artisan blacksmiths trained in methods that involve heating to 1,200°C and multiple quenching cycles, resulting in durable and unique tableware.
조선유기공방은 황주연 장인이 3대째 이어오는 장인정신으로 전통 방짜유기를 제작합니다. 16세기 전통 주물사 기술을 기반으로 순수 구리(83.3%)와 주석(16.7%) 합금만을 사용하여 화학물질을 배제한 안전하고 아름다운 유기를 만듭니다.
1978년 황영군 선대가 시작한 공방은 불교제례용품에서 출발해 현재는 항균성과 우아한 금빛 광택을 자랑하는 실용적인 유기 그릇을 제작하며 유네스코 종묘제례복원사업 등 한국 문화재 복원에도 참여하고 있습니다.
전통 기법에 따른 9단계 제작공정을 통해 고온(1,200도)에서 수회 담금질과 연마를 거쳐 견고하고 독특한 특성을 지닌 유기 제품을 완성합니다.

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?
