Damga is a brand that carries the traditional jang-making know-how passed down through four generations. Made through natural fermentation using domestic produce grown under contract with local farmers in Sunchang, each product is crafted with the deep, heartfelt taste of a mother's cooking.

Made with 100% domestic Korean soybeans, traditionally prepared in a cast-iron cauldron

Korean-grown soybeans are boiled directly in a cast-iron cauldron and made into meju using traditional methods. With no imported soybeans or GMOs, this is authentic traditional soybean paste made purely from Korean soybeans.

Deep, savory umami from traditional onggi jar fermentation

Fermented long-term in traditional earthenware jars using Sunchang's clean water and climate, with no artificial starter cultures added. The longer it simmers, the deeper and more savory the flavor becomes, enriching any broth or stew.

Clean, savory flavor with no chemical additives or MSG

Free of synthetic preservatives or chemical additives, this soybean paste stays clean and smooth even when simmered into a stew, with no bitterness or sourness. Its honest, natural flavor brings out a rich, savory depth in any dish.
