Business sectors

• Premium Kimchi Manufacturing and Sales: We operate the 'Migeumchi' brand, which enhances nutritional value and umami flavor by incorporating Job's tears, a specialty of Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, into the kimchi manufacturing process. Through this, we are expanding our market share in the premium kimchi market.
• Linked Production of Local Agricultural Products: We use agricultural products such as radishes, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, and chili peppers from the Yeoncheon region through contract farming with local farms, producing 2,000 to 3,000 tons of kimchi annually. This is a win-win model that also contributes to increasing the income of local farmers.
• Manufacture of Various Pickled Foods: In addition to kimchi, we produce a wide variety of pickled foods and provide safe products in a hygienic, HACCP-certified environment. We ensure both safety and taste through high-quality raw materials and rigorous manufacturing processes.

Products

• Migeumchi Job's Tears Young Radish Kimchi: This is the flagship product of Imjingang Kimchi, which won the Grand Prize at the 13th Korea Kimchi Competition in 2024. It is characterized by the addition of processed Job's Tears from Yeoncheon to the seasoning, which maintains the natural crisp texture of young radishes for a long time and produces a deep umami flavor.
• Migeumchi Job's Tears Whole Cabbage Kimchi: This product won an Encouragement Award at the 13th Korea Kimchi Competition in 2024. We carefully selected fresh cabbage from Gangwon-do and added Job's Tears powder to a secret broth blended with dried anchovy powder and dried sardine powder in a golden ratio, resulting in a clean and refreshing taste.
