Jang on DAM is more than just a food brand—it is a cultural mission dedicated to preserving the soul of Korean tradition while propelling it into the future with innovation.
The word “Jang” represents the foundation of Korean cuisine—fermented sauces such as gochujang (red chili paste), doenjang (soybean paste), and ssamjang (seasoned paste) that have nourished people for centuries. These sauces are not simply condiments; they are the result of patience, wisdom, and artistry, passed down through countless generations. The word “DAM” symbolizes a container or reservoir, reflecting our promise to safeguard this heritage like a treasured vessel, and to share its richness with people around the world.
At Jang on DAM, we understand that the intangible skills of master artisans—how they mix, stir, ferment, and taste—are at risk of disappearing. As time passes, fewer artisans remain, and their methods often cannot be explained through written recipes. Their hands, gestures, and instincts embody centuries of accumulated knowledge. Without preservation, this wisdom could be lost forever.
Our mission
Our mission is to capture, preserve, and expand this knowledge by combining tradition with modern science. By working hand in hand with artisans and chefs, we record their methods using advanced sensing and data technologies, transforming unspoken craftsmanship into structured knowledge that can be taught, replicated, and scaled.
Every product from Jang on DAM carries a dual identity it is both a culinary delight and a cultural artifact.
To us, food is not just something to eat it is memory, identity, and a living story. When a customer tastes our sauces, they experience the depth of Korea’s heritage, reimagined for the contemporary world.
Through partnerships with artisans, global distributors, and cultural organizations, we aim to build Jang on DAM into a global ambassador of Korean taste and heritage, ensuring that this centuries-old wisdom reaches dinner tables far beyond Korea’s borders.
