Seoul style kimchi
We are UK's only dedicated Seoul style kimchi makers. At its heart, Seoul kimchi is about balance. The flavours should be bold but not overpowering. The texture matters too. Vegetables should stay crunchy, not mushy. That crunch means they still contain the fibres your gut needs to stay clean and healthy as the kimchi travels through your body.
Traditionally, kimchi is quite salty and spicy, and in Korea, people are often advised not to eat too much of it. Especially if they have high blood pressure, stomach issues or are trying to manage their weight. That’s why we make our kimchi differently: with only 1% salt and no added sugar.
To us, kimchi is a form of medicine, and the key to its healing potential lies in fermentation. To benefit from it fully, kimchi shouldn’t be too salty or sweet, Those things can get in the way of the natural balance your body needs. Our Seoul style kimchi recipe is designed to support your gut health, not just excite your taste buds.
My family and I used to take probiotic tablets daily until we started eating our own kimchi regularly. Now we don’t need them.
That is good kimchi.
About Us
We’re a small, proud kimchi (gimchi) makers based in Bermondsey, London.
Yes, we call it gimchi, not kimchi. Why? Because that’s how it’s pronounced in Korean! While most people still spell it “kimchi,” we’re gently nudging the word back to its roots. So even if we go along with the common spelling for now, remember. It was us who started calling it gimchi in London, back in 2024.
We make it the traditional way: unpasteurised, naturally fermented, and with no added sugar. We also use the bare minimum of salt, carefully balancing flavour and gut-friendly fermentation. Everything we do is designed to support digestive health—and taste great while doing it.
We eat our own gimchi every day (70g and try to eat first before anything else) and we’ve seen first-hand how good it is for gut health, and that’s what drives us to keep making it.
We really hope our kimchi works for you as it has done for us.
Thank you.
