Traditional Korean Fermentation · Fermentación Tradicional Coreana

Jin Ganjang is the most widely used naturally brewed soy sauce in Korea. The process begins by inoculating cooked soybeans and roasted wheat with Aspergillus mould to create koji, which is then submerged in brine and left to slowly ferment and mature over time. Sempio maintains consistent strain management and controlled temperatures throughout this process to achieve a deep, reliable flavour in every batch.

During fermentation, the proteins in the soybeans are naturally broken down into amino acids, while the starches in the wheat are converted into sugars. The combination of these two processes gives Jin Ganjang its characteristic deep colour, savoury umami taste, and subtle natural sweetness. This product meets the Korean Food Standards Codex requirements for naturally brewed soy sauce (total nitrogen content of 1.0% or above).

To draw a parallel with European food culture: just as cheese develops its rich complexity by fermenting milk proteins, wine gains its layered aromas by fermenting grape sugars, and sauerkraut achieves its depth by naturally fermenting cabbage — Jin Ganjang is the result of entrusting soybeans and wheat to time. It shares the same philosophy: flavour built through fermentation.

How to Use — Korean Style · Recetas Coreanas

Classic Korean dishes made with Jin Ganjang in everyday households. This soy sauce truly shines in cooked and braised preparations.

Bulgogi

불고기

Thinly sliced beef marinated in Jin Ganjang, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and grated pear, then grilled or pan-fried. The deep sweet-savoury character of Jin Ganjang forms the backbone of the marinade. A staple of Korean family meals, especially on weekends.

Galbi-jjim

갈비찜

Beef short ribs slow-braised in a Jin Ganjang-based sauce with Korean radish, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms — a traditional dish served at celebrations and holidays. Jin Ganjang holds up exceptionally well to heat and imparts a beautiful deep colour, making it the ideal choice for long-cooked braises like Galbi-jjim.

Japchae

잡채

Glass noodles made from sweet potato starch, stir-fried with spinach, carrots, onion, beef, and shiitake mushrooms, then seasoned with Jin Ganjang, sesame oil, and sugar. A beloved Korean party and holiday dish that is a fixture at celebratory tables.

Jangjorim

장조림

Beef (typically round or brisket cut) simmered with garlic, shishito peppers, and quail eggs in Jin Ganjang until deeply flavoured — a classic Korean savoury side dish. A staple of Korean lunchboxes (Dosirak), served by shredding the beef over steamed white rice.

Gyeran-jjim / Gyeran-jorim

계란간장조림

Hard-boiled eggs simmered in Jin Ganjang, sugar, garlic, and Korean chilli until glazed and deeply seasoned. Simple to prepare yet incredibly versatile — served as a rice side dish, packed into lunchboxes, or used as a topping for Ramyeon.

Bibim-guksu

비빔국수 · 간장 베이스 비빔면

Cooked thin wheat noodles (somyeon) tossed with Jin Ganjang, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped spring onions, then finished with dried seaweed flakes. A quick and satisfying soy sauce-based noodle dish, popular in summer or as a late-night meal. The umami depth of Jin Ganjang elevates the flavour of the noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Sempio Jin Ganjang S and how does it differ from regular soy sauce?

Sempio Jin Ganjang S is one of Korea's most representative naturally fermented soy sauces. The word "Jin" (眞) means "rich" or "deep" in Korean. Made primarily from defatted soybeans and wheat using a traditional fermentation process, it has a deeper colour and more pronounced umami flavour than standard brewed soy sauces. Just as European cheese and wine develop their complex character through fermentation and ageing, Jin Ganjang achieves its layered flavour profile through natural fermentation. It is widely used across a broad range of Korean dishes including stir-fries, braises, grills, and dressings.

Is this product suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet?

Yes, Sempio Jin Ganjang S is suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets. All ingredients — water, defatted soybeans, high fructose corn syrup, salt, alcohol, wheat, yeast extract, and others — are of plant-based origin, and no animal-derived ingredients are used.
