Irresistibly Sweet, Spicy, and Umami!
Ichiban Kimchi is our signature Japanese-style kimchi, handcrafted in small batches to deliver a gentler, family-friendly flavor. Compared to traditional Korean kimchi, Ichiban Kimchi has following differences.
- is less spicy and noticeably sweeter
- making it perfect for kids and those new to kimchi
- incorporating more our secret sauce (made from apple and fish) to make the flavor denser
The natural sweetness comes from a blend of apple sauce and fish sauce, balanced with just a hint of mild spice. Made with carefully selected vegetables and a savory, umami-rich seasoning, it's a versatile side dish or topping the whole family can enjoy.
