Bongsook Co., Ltd.

Company Profile

Bongsook Co., Ltd. is a Korean startup specializing in modern K-sauces rooted in four generations of traditional fermented sauce-making. Its flagship product, Bongsook Gochujang Sauce, is a globally inspired reinterpretation of gochujang—crafted with rice syrup and fruit concentrates to reduce saltiness and fermentation odor, while offering a smooth texture that pairs well with Western dishes. Packaged in a hygienic squeeze tube and produced in HACCP and FSSC22000 certified facilities, the product was selected as a Kickstarter "Project We Love," gaining international attention.
