[Muryangsu] Traditional Gochujang
- No imported ingredients
- No preservatives
- Aged 6+ months
- Certified traditional food
Muryangsu is a premium artisan brand that’s new to the public but already carries impressive credentials. It’s the jang of choice at Mosu Seoul, the three-Michelin-star restaurant led by chef Ahn Sung-jae of Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars.
In Korean cooking, doenjang and gochujang belong to the family of “jang,” fermented sauces made from raw ingredients. Great jang means great flavor, and Muryangsu is known among chefs for making it the traditional way, with no shortcuts.
In June 2020, Muryangsu was chosen as an official gift set for Korea’s national patriots and delivered to the Presidential Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae).
Today, we offer Muryangsu Traditional Gochujang (무량수 전통 고추장). It starts with naturally sun-dried Korean red peppers, is seasoned only with house-made meju (fermented soybean) powder and barley malt, and then ages outdoors in large clay jars for at least 6 months.
The result is rich and well balanced, never too salty or too earthy: glossy and velvety, with a mellow sweetness and a clean, lingering heat. It holds Korea’s Traditional Food quality certification from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
So what’s inside?
Full Ingredients List Purified water, glutinous rice, red pepper powder (14.6%), rice syrup (rice, barley malt, enzymes), barley malt, sun-dried sea salt, meju powder (soybeans), soju. Rice, red pepper and soybeans from Korea.
In the box One 400 g or 1 kg container, depending on the size you choose. Made by Manpo Nongsan (만포농산) in Yeongju, South Korea.
To keep Refrigerate as soon as it arrives. Best within 18 months of the production date printed on the package.
Good to know Contains soy and barley (malt), so it isn’t gluten-free. Gochujang is naturally fermented, so it keeps releasing a little gas inside the container. We vacuum-seal every container before it ships to prevent leaks, but changes in air pressure during the flight can still push out a little gas or paste. It’s still safe to eat, and a small leak isn’t grounds for a refund or exchange.

Traditional gochujang from Muryangsu
Mu-Ryang-Su (無量壽) means “immeasurable life,” a phrase for longevity, abundance and endless blessings. Muryangsu is a traditional Korean paste maker devoted to time-honored craft, using only pure, natural ingredients passed down through generations.
It’s a newer name to the public, but already the jang of choice for top kitchens in Korea, including Mosu Seoul, the three-Michelin-star restaurant led by chef Ahn Sung-jae of Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars.
This gochujang starts with naturally sun-dried Korean red peppers. It’s seasoned only with house-made meju (fermented soybean) powder and barley malt, then aged outdoors in large clay jars for at least 6 months. No preservatives, no flavor enhancers, no imported ingredients.
The result is rich and well balanced, never too salty or too earthy: glossy and velvety, with a mellow sweetness and a clean, lingering heat. Available in 400 g and 1 kg.

Chosen for a Blue House gift set in 2020
In June 2020, Muryangsu was chosen as an official gift set for Korea’s national patriots and delivered to the Presidential Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae, 청와대).
Top chefs at renowned restaurants in Korea, including Michelin-starred kitchens, cook with Muryangsu. You’ll also find it in major Korean department stores.
Muryangsu products have appeared on Korean TV shows such as JTBC’s Itaewon Class and MBC’s Omniscient Interfering View, with no paid sponsorship.
Leading Korean companies also choose Muryangsu’s fermented products for their premium holiday gift sets.

Naturally fermented for a deep, rich flavor
Five things make this gochujang what it is: Korean sun-dried chili peppers, no preservatives or additives, natural aging, traditional food certification and strict quality control.

Korean sun-dried chili peppers
Muryangsu buys high-quality Korean chili peppers by hand and dries them naturally in the sun, which keeps their deep, rich flavor.

No preservatives or artificial additives
No preservatives, flavor enhancers or artificial additives, ever. The gochujang is seasoned only with house-made meju (fermented soybean) powder and barley malt.

Naturally aged, naturally fermented
For consistent taste and quality, the gochujang is aged in traditional earthenware jars for at least 6 months, building a deep, rich flavor.

Certified as a traditional food
Muryangsu Gochujang holds Korea’s Traditional Food quality certification from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

Strict quality control
Muryangsu regularly runs food safety tests for pesticide residues, E. coli and other harmful bacteria, and its products have never once gone over the limits.
So you can enjoy them with complete confidence.

Craftsmanship and sincerity in every jar
Made with sun-dried Taeyangcho chili peppers, this gochujang has a rich gloss, a chewy texture and a deep, mellow sweetness.
It’s spicy yet clean, with a pleasantly lingering heat: a premium traditional gochujang made with care.

The pristine home of Muryangsu
Quietly keeping the rich flavors of tradition alive, a reward born of nature’s patient care.

The Muryangsu story
The name Muryangsu literally means “life that cannot end.” Read more deeply, it stands for eternal life, and it carries the maker’s hope that everyone who enjoys its food stays healthy and well.
There are countless health foods and supplements out there, but true health starts with the food we eat every day: the sauces, oils and side dishes at every meal.
Muryangsu doesn’t claim its products are medicine. What it can promise is honest food, made with care and dedication, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

How to store it
With no preservatives or additives, gochujang can swell a little or turn slightly sour if it’s kept for a long time. That’s natural. Keep it in the refrigerator as soon as it arrives.
