You can still order (collection only) our kimchi & rayu from our website (under Retail section) or pop in to Space Jaru to purchase some of the Banchans and Pantry items you missed from JaruMart. Please keep an eye on our Social Medias for any updates! Thanks!

If you find that your kimchi packaging has expanded/bloated, and it's within the best before date, don't worry just "Burp the Kimchi". Our kimchi is naturally fermented, and still continuous to ferment in the packaging. When the storage conditions of the product fluctuates (i.e above 5°C, kept in open display fridge, or summertime season) the fermentation process accelerates and builds up gases causing the packaging to "Bloat". The upside or downside to this is the taste as the level of acidity/sourness could be greater. It you find your kimchi is too sour for your liking, do not fret! You can still use it for cooking (Kimchi Jigae is best made with old/sour kimchi). To keep kimchi fresh, store it below 5°C. If you have any doubts at all, feel free to email us!
