Sempio Jin Ganjang S is a traditionally fermented soy sauce made by Sempio, one of Korea's leading food brands. "Jin Ganjang" means "rich and deep soy sauce" in Korean, and it is produced by naturally fermenting defatted soybeans and wheat. Compared to regular soy sauce, it has a darker colour, richer umami, and a well-balanced combination of sweetness and saltiness. Much like European balsamic vinegar or aged cheese, its complex flavour develops through fermentation and ageing. It is used broadly across Korean cuisine — in stir-fries, marinades, stews, and seasoned vegetable dishes. Available in a 15L large-format size, it is ideal for restaurants, catering operations, and foodservice establishments.

Korean soy sauce is made by combining soybeans and wheat and allowing them to undergo natural fermentation. Microorganisms break down proteins and carbohydrates, developing complex umami and deep flavour. This process is very similar in principle to the fermentation and ageing of European cheese (where microorganisms create flavour during ripening), wine, and balsamic vinegar. In other words, Korean soy sauce is the "fermented condiment of the East" — just a spoonful can dramatically deepen the flavour of any dish. Sempio Jin Ganjang S is made using this traditional Korean fermentation method, delivering naturally rich and complex umami.
