Highlights

Open the jar and the room smells of yuja before you have taken a piece. Seoga's yuja jeonggwa is made from the fragrant peel of ripe Korean yuja, cut into even strips and slowly cooked and dried, again and again, until each one turns springy and translucent. The citrus aroma stays vivid, with a sweet-tart flavor and a bite that keeps you chewing. Under its hanji-wrapped lid, it is a small gift that suits almost anyone, from a quiet thank-you to a holiday visit.

병뚜껑을 여는 순간, 한 조각 먹기도 전에 유자 향이 먼저 퍼집니다. 서가 유자정과는 잘 익은 국내산 유자의 향긋한 껍질을 일정한 간격으로 채 썰어, 조리고 말리기를 여러 번 되풀이해 만들었습니다. 한 올 한 올 꼬들꼬들하게 씹히고, 새콤달콤한 맛 위로 유자 향이 선명하게 남습니다. 한지로 뚜껑을 감싼 작은 병이라, 가벼운 감사 인사부터 명절 방문까지 누구에게 건네도 잘 어울립니다.

Description

Yuja, all in the peel

Yuja is a Korean citrus about the size of a tangerine, with a bumpy, deeply perfumed peel and very little juice. Most of its famous fragrance lives in that peel, which is why Koreans have long preserved it in sugar. Seoga selects ripe Korean yuja grown in clean-air regions, with plump, springy flesh and a rich citrus scent. After cleaning, the peel is carefully separated from the fruit, and it is the peel alone that becomes this jeonggwa.

Cooked and dried, again and again

Using its own method, Seoga cuts the peel into strips of even width and cooks them at a set time and temperature, then dries them and repeats the cycle several times. Nothing else is added to change the texture. The strips come out springy and chewy, glossy with syrup, with the yuja's natural sweetness drawn forward and its tartness kept. The flavor is fresh and lively, like the best candied citrus peel with more perfume.

How to enjoy it

Eat it straight from the jar, or serve a few strands with green tea, black tea, or a cup of coffee. Chop it into scone or pound cake batter, sprinkle it over vanilla ice cream or a bowl of yogurt and granola, or lay it on a cheese board beside a sharp cheddar or aged Parmesan. A strand or two makes a fragrant garnish for a gin and tonic, a whiskey highball, or a glass of sparkling wine.


향은 껍질에 있습니다

유자는 귤만 한 크기에 껍질이 울퉁불퉁하고 향이 짙은 한국의 감귤류입니다. 과즙은 적고, 유자의 그 유명한 향은 대부분 껍질에 모여 있습니다. 그래서 한국에서는 예부터 유자를 설탕에 재워 저장해 두고 먹어 왔습니다. 서가는 청정 지역에서 자라 과육이 알차고 탱글탱글하며 시트러스 향이 풍부한 국내산 유자를 고릅니다. 깨끗이 손질한 뒤 껍질과 과육을 잘 분리해, 껍질만으로 정과를 만듭니다.

조리고 말리기를 되풀이한 정과

서가는 유자 껍질을 일정한 간격으로 채 썰고, 정해진 시간과 온도에 맞춰 조린 다음 말리기를 여러 번 반복합니다. 식감을 바꾸는 다른 첨가물은 넣지 않았습니다. 그렇게 만든 정과는 꼬들꼬들하고 쫄깃하며, 시럽으로 윤기가 돌고, 유자 본연의 단맛은 살아나면서 새콤한 맛도 그대로 남습니다. 잘 만든 시트러스 필 정과에 향을 한층 더한 듯 싱그럽습니다.

이렇게 즐겨 보세요

병에서 바로 집어 먹거나, 몇 가닥을 녹차나 홍차, 커피 곁에 내 보세요. 잘게 썰어 스콘이나 파운드케이크 반죽에 섞고, 바닐라 아이스크림이나 그래놀라 요거트 위에 뿌려도 좋습니다. 치즈 보드에서는 샤프 체다나 숙성 파르메산 옆에 두기 좋습니다. 진토닉이나 위스키 하이볼, 스파클링 와인 잔에 한두 가닥 올리면 향긋한 가니시가 됩니다.

About

Seoga was founded in 2017 in Gyeongju, the thousand-year capital of the Silla kingdom, and became an agricultural corporation in 2019. Its founder, Yeom Mi-sook, ran a restaurant at the foot of Chisullyeong in Gyeongju for 25 years while studying Korean cuisine, tea, temple food, and the dishes of the royal court. The bellflower jeonggwa she served her guests after their meals became the beginning of the company. Seoga's motto is to carry on the heart of the royal kitchen: Korean ingredients chosen to strict standards, a five-step method of its own, and 100 hours of patient work, with no artificial colors. Its products are made in a facility that maintains HACCP and ISO 22000 certification, and in 2022 Seoga was selected for K-FOREST FOOD, Korea's national brand for forest-grown food.


서가는 신라 천년의 도읍 경주에서 2017년 문을 열었고, 2019년 농업회사법인으로 전환했습니다. 염미숙 대표는 경주 치술령 자락에서 25년간 식당을 운영하며 한식과 다도, 사찰음식, 궁중음식을 꾸준히 공부했습니다. 손님상에 후식으로 내던 도라지정과가 큰 사랑을 받은 것이 서가의 시작이었습니다. '궁중의 마음을 잇다'라는 뜻 아래, 엄선한 국산 재료와 서가만의 5단계 제조공법, 100시간의 정성으로 전통 간식을 만들며 인공색소는 쓰지 않습니다. HACCP와 ISO 22000 인증을 갖춘 시설에서 생산하며, 2022년에는 산림청 임산물 국가통합브랜드 K-FOREST FOOD에 선정되었습니다.

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?
