[Mcgguroom] Traditional Gochujang


Introducing Mcgguroom’s Traditional Gochujang.

This artisan-made gochujang is crafted using traditional Korean fermentation techniques.

While many gochujang recipes use malt barley (엿기름) as a binding ingredient, this recipe uses glutinous rice powder (찹쌀가루) instead—making it naturally gluten-free. In fact, every ingredient in this gochujang is gluten-free.

Full Ingredients List: Gochugaru (37%), Glutinous Rice Powder (36.5%), Meju Powder (Soybeans), Rice Syrup, Sea Salt.

We believe this gochujang stands among the finest in Korea for both flavor and quality.

The paste undergoes a 12-month natural fermentation in large traditional jangdok (earthenware fermentation jars). The process relies on patience and time—no shortcuts, no additives, no preservatives, and absolutely no MSG or added sugar.

About the Artisan:

Founder Seong Myeong Rae began this journey in 1989.

What started with just a handful of jangdok jars has grown into a traditional fermentation operation with over 4,000 jangdok jars producing Korean fermented pastes and soy sauces.

In recognition of his dedication to preserving traditional Korean food culture, Seong Myeong Rae was honored by the Korean government as “Food Grand Master No. 45.”

Whether you’re preparing authentic bibimbap or experimenting with new Korean dishes, this gochujang delivers the deep, balanced heat and umami that define traditional Korean flavor.

Experience the authentic taste of Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도) with Mcgguroom.

Available in a 500g jar.

The fermentation process takes place in thousands of traditional earthenware jars (onggi), where the sauces/pastes are naturally aged for more than 12 months. The jars allow the sauces to breathe and mature slowly, developing the deep, complex flavors that define authentic Korean jang.

Through patience, craftsmanship, and respect for tradition, this process produces a sauce with rich depth, balanced umami, and the unmistakable character of true Korean fermentation.
