Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce 150ml

Authentic Korean Fermented Condiment · Sempio Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce

Ganjang (Korean soy sauce) is a traditional fermented condiment crafted from soybeans, wheat, salt, and water — slowly brewed over time. Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce undergoes a 5-stage brewing process involving both yeast and lactic acid fermentation, aged for approximately 6 months (180 days). Beyond its saltiness lies a deep, natural umami that makes it an essential base seasoning in Korean home cooking.

Korean Traditional Fermentation

In Korea, Ganjang (soy sauce) is far more than a simple condiment — it is a fermented staple that defines a household's kitchen. Following the traditional brewing method, soybeans and wheat are steamed and cultured to form Meju (fermented soybean blocks), then submerged in brine and left to ferment and mature over time. Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce honours these traditional brewing principles while incorporating a 5-stage process — including both yeast and lactic acid fermentation — aged slowly for approximately 180 days (6 months).

During this extended fermentation, the proteins in the soybeans are gradually broken down, naturally developing deep umami compounds. The essence of naturally fermented Ganjang lies not in artificial flavourings or chemical hydrolysis, but in the complex depth of flavour that only time can create.

Just as European cheese transforms milk, wine transforms grapes, and sauerkraut transforms cabbage through time — Korean Ganjang transforms soybeans and wheat through the same patient process. Like the vintage of a fine wine, "Aged 180 Days" is not merely a label; it is the flavour itself.

Korean-Style Uses · Recetas Coreanas

Classic authentic Korean dishes enjoyed with naturally fermented Ganjang in Korean homes — follow the recipes as they are, or use them as a base for your own seasoning blends.

Bulgogi
불고기
Korea's iconic marinated beef dish — thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, sugar, pear juice, garlic, and sesame oil, then grilled. Ganjang is the heart of the marinade, and the deep umami of naturally fermented soy sauce elevates the flavour of the meat to another level.
Galbi-jjim
갈비찜
A festive Korean braised short rib dish — beef ribs slow-cooked in a soy sauce marinade with radish, carrots, chestnuts, and jujubes. Over the long cooking time, the deep umami of the Ganjang permeates the meat, resulting in a richly satisfying bowl.
Jangjorim
장조림
A savoury Korean side dish of beef (round cut or brisket) or chicken breast simmered down in soy sauce. Often prepared with quail eggs and shishito peppers, it is a beloved packed-lunch staple. Ganjang is the very identity of this dish.
Gyeran-jangjorim
계란 간장조림
A simple Korean home-style side dish of hard-boiled eggs gently simmered in soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and spring onion. One of the most effortlessly enjoyed Ganjang dishes in Korean households — paired with steamed rice, it makes a complete and satisfying meal on its own.
Japchae
잡채
Korea's classic celebration noodle dish — sweet potato glass noodles seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil, stir-fried with spinach, carrots, mushrooms, and beef. The balance of the seasoning begins with the depth of Ganjang.
Bibim-guksu
간장 비빔국수
A deceptively simple yet deeply flavourful Korean noodle dish — thin wheat noodles tossed with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and sesame seeds. The umami of naturally fermented Ganjang alone anchors the entire seasoning of this Korean-style mixed noodle bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce different from regular soy sauce?

Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce is brewed from defatted soybeans, wheat, and salt using traditional Korean methods, naturally fermented and aged over 180 days (approximately 6 months). Much like aged European cheese or fine wine develops complex flavour through time, this Ganjang acquires deep umami and rich aroma through its extended fermentation process. Unlike soy sauces produced quickly through chemical hydrolysis in industrial settings, this traditionally brewed product adds a far more complex and layered depth of flavour to your cooking.

Is this soy sauce suitable for a Vegan or Vegetarian diet?

Yes, Sempio Naturally Fermented Soy Sauce is suitable for both Vegan and Vegetarian diets. No animal-derived ingredients are used. The ingredients are: water, defatted soybeans, wheat, salt, high fructose corn syrup, and sodium benzoate (preservative). It can be freely used in a wide range of vegan and vegetarian dishes, including vegetable stir-fries, tofu dishes, and plant-based marinades.

Does this product contain any allergens?

Yes, there is important allergen information you should be aware of. This product contains two of the 14 mandatory EU allergens: Gluten (from wheat) and Soybeans. Individuals with a wheat (gluten) allergy or soybean allergy should not consume this product. It is also not suitable for those with gluten intolerance (Coeliac disease). Please check the ingredient list carefully before purchase.

Is this soy sauce high in sodium (salt)? How much should I use?

Yes, soy sauce is inherently high in salt by nature. This product contains approximately 15.7g of salt per 100ml, which is typical of all traditional soy sauces. If you are adding additional salt or other salty condiments to your cooking, please be mindful of your total sodium intake. Generally, 1–2 tablespoons (15–30ml) per serving is sufficient to deliver full umami flavour. If you are following a low-sodium diet, we recommend adjusting the amount used or consulting your doctor or dietitian.

How should this soy sauce be stored, and how long can it be used after opening?

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, seal the cap tightly and refrigerate. When refrigerated, the product maintains its quality for several months. While the high salt content provides a natural preservative effect, refrigeration after opening is the most effective way to preserve its flavour. This product comes in a compact 150ml size, making it an ideal introduction for those trying Korean soy sauce for the first time.
