100% Korean Soybeans & Sea Salt
[Jook Jang Yeon] Traditional Soy Sauce
Traditional Style Ganjang - not all soy sauce is created equal.
Most commercial soy sauces are brewed quickly, heat-treated, and standardized for consistency. This one isn’t.
Jook Jang Yeon Soy Sauce is a traditional Joseon-style ganjang, made with just two ingredients: 100% Korean soybeans and sun-dried sea salt. No wheat is used. The salt is aged before use to soften its natural edge, contributing to a clean, rounded finish.
Naturally fermented for over 100 days and matured in breathable earthenware jars (onggi), this soy sauce develops depth the slow way — through time, air, and seasonal shifts.
Unlike most soy sauces, it is not boiled after fermentation.
While many producers heat soy sauce to clarify and stabilize it, Jookjang Yeon Soy Sauce is instead filtered two to three times and remains clear and pure without boiling.
Filtered for clarity, never heat-treated—helping preserve its naturally occurring enzymes and nutritional integrity.
Because it undergoes long, slow fermentation, the color is deep and rich, and the aroma carries a pronounced, mature fermented character. Its distinctive fragrance comes from the meeting of well-fermented meju (soybean blocks) and mineral-rich bedrock water drawn from 200 meters underground, creating a uniquely elegant and layered bouquet.
Rather than delivering sharp salinity, it offers a profound umami depth that enhances the natural character of ingredients without overpowering them.

Filtered, Not Heat-Treated
Filtered for clarity, never heat-treated—helping preserve its naturally occurring enzymes and nutritional integrity.

Onggi Jar Maturation
Breathable earthenware encourages controlled oxidation and steady flavor evolution.
What Type of Soy Sauce Is This?
This is Traditional Joseon Soy Sauce (조선간장), also known as Guk-ganjang (국간장), or “soup soy sauce.”
This traditional soy sauce is ideal for seasoning broths, soups, and jjigae, where its clean salinity and lighter color add depth without darkening the dish.
Beyond broths and soups, it is also commonly used to season Korean vegetable side dishes (namul), such as spinach muchim (시금치무침) and soybean sprout muchim (콩나물무침).
This is in contrast to brewed soy sauce (Jin Ganjang, 진간장). Jin Ganjang is typically used in Korean cooking for stir-fries, braised dishes, and meat marinades.
