Korean Fermentation Heritage · Korean Fermentation Heritage

Jin Ganjang is one of the oldest condiments in the Korean kitchen. When fermentation microorganisms such as Aspergillus oryzae are introduced to soybeans and wheat, proteins are slowly broken down, producing a wealth of amino acids and a deep, complex umami flavour. This product is a naturally brewed soy sauce crafted by Sempio, a brand with over 70 years of fermentation expertise in Korea.

During fermentation, soy proteins are gradually broken down into numerous amino acids, while wheat starches transform into natural sweetness and aroma. This entire process is a natural chemical reaction shaped by time, microbial cultures, and stable temperature conditions. This product contains 7g of protein per 100ml, meeting the Korean standard for naturally brewed soy sauce of at least 1.0% total nitrogen.

Just as cheese transforms milk proteins, wine transforms grape juice, and sauerkraut transforms cabbage through the slow process of fermentation — Jin Ganjang is the result of simple soybeans and wheat being reborn through natural fermentation into an entirely new depth of flavour. The role Jin Ganjang plays in Korean households is much like that of a fine olive oil or balsamic vinegar in an Italian kitchen.

Korean Cooking Uses · Recetas Coreanas

Six classic Korean dishes made with Jin Ganjang — the starting point for almost every Korean marinade and braised dish.

Bulgogi

불고기

Thinly sliced beef marinated in a mixture of Jin Ganjang, sugar, garlic, pear juice, and sesame oil for about 30 minutes, then pan-fried. Jin Ganjang adds deep umami and a glossy finish to the meat, making this one of the most popular Korean dishes for entertaining guests.

Galbi-jjim

갈비찜

A Korean festive dish of beef short ribs slow-braised in a Jin Ganjang-based sauce. Garlic, ginger, pear, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms are added and simmered over low heat until the meat becomes tender and the sauce deeply absorbed. A staple at major Korean holidays such as Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Harvest Festival).

Jangjorim

장조림

A classic Korean side dish of beef and boiled eggs braised in Jin Ganjang. The savoury-sweet flavour pairs perfectly with steamed rice, making it a staple in Korean lunchboxes. It keeps well in the refrigerator for over a week.

Japchae

잡채

Transparent glass noodles made from sweet potato starch, stir-fried with spinach, carrots, mushrooms, and beef. Jin Ganjang and sesame oil are the key seasonings, creating a balanced savoury and nutty flavour. A Korean classic often served at celebrations and birthday feasts.

Gyeran-jjim

계란간장조림

A simple side dish of boiled eggs braised in a sauce of Jin Ganjang, water, sugar, and garlic. Easy to prepare and frequently found in Korean households, it makes a satisfying meal on its own when served over steamed white rice. An ideal first recipe for those new to cooking with Jin Ganjang.

Bibim-guksu

비빔국수

Cold thin noodles tossed in a sauce of Jin Ganjang, Gochujang, vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. A refreshing Korean noodle dish enjoyed especially in summer, where Jin Ganjang provides the savoury base of the seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Sempio Jin Ganjang S, and how is it different from regular soy sauce?

Sempio Jin Ganjang S is a traditionally fermented soy sauce produced by Sempio, one of Korea's leading food companies. The word "Jin" in Jin Ganjang means "deep" or "rich" in Korean. Made from defatted soybeans and wheat through a natural fermentation process, it delivers an intense and complex umami flavour. It plays a similar role to Worcestershire sauce in Europe or Japanese shoyu, but is distinguished by the deep fermented character unique to Korean cuisine. It is widely used in stir-fries, braised dishes, marinades, and as a sauce base across a broad range of Korean recipes.

Is this product suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

Yes, Sempio Jin Ganjang S is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It contains no animal-derived ingredients. The main components — water, defatted soybean, corn syrup, salt, spirits, and wheat — are all plant-based. It is an ideal choice for those following a vegan diet who wish to enjoy the deep umami flavour of Korean cuisine.

I have allergies — is this product safe for me? What allergens does it contain?

Sempio Jin Ganjang S contains allergens that must be declared under EU Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. Specifically, it contains Gluten (from wheat) and Soybeans (from defatted soybean). Anyone with an allergy to wheat or soybeans should avoid this product. This product is also not gluten-free. Individuals with coeliac disease should not consume it.

Does this product contain alcohol? Is it suitable for children?

Sempio Jin Ganjang S contains spirits at 1.070%. It is therefore not a completely alcohol-free product. This small amount of spirits serves a preservative and flavour-enhancing function during the fermentation process. Those who avoid alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons — including children and alcohol-sensitive individuals — should take note. This product is also not halal-certified; those requiring halal-certified products should exercise caution.

How should I store soy sauce, and how long can I use it after opening?

Before opening, Sempio Jin Ganjang S should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, it is recommended to seal the cap tightly and refrigerate. Soy sauce has a naturally high salt content (approx. 16g per 100ml), which provides inherent preservation, but refrigeration after opening will maintain the best flavour. It is generally best used within a few months of opening. As the sodium content is very high, those following a low-sodium diet should monitor their intake accordingly.
