The Uniqueness and
Distinction of Hi500’s Ingredients
Crispy Texture with a Glutinous Rice Bloom
Hi500’s Kimbugak is coated generously with a layer of glutinous rice porridge, resembling delicate snowflakes blooming on its surface. This creates an incredibly fresh and crispy texture. The first bite delivers a nutty, crunchy exterior that crumbles delightfully, followed by a soft and chewy interior that captivates the palate. This extraordinary texture offers a unique experience that sets it apart from other Kimbugak, naturally leaving you wanting another bite.
30 Years of Tradition Passed
Down from Mother
Hi500’s Kimbugak embodies more than 30 years of authentic traditional flavor. CEO Heo Jeong-jin uses the traditional techniques passed down from her mother to craft each piece of Kimbugak. Every step of the process is meticulously done by hand, with great care and precision. This dedication is not just about taste—it’s about preserving the love, devotion, and heritage embedded in every piece. Each handcrafted batch reflects a mother’s love and a commitment to upholding tradition, delivering a deep sense of connection and emotion to those who enjoy it.
Pure Essence of Nature from
500 Meters Above Sea Level
Hi500’s Kimbugak is crafted with ingredients sourced from the pristine highlands of Jirisan, located 500 meters above sea level. The fresh breeze and clean air of Jirisan infuse the ingredients with exceptional quality and flavor. These ingredients, grown in an unpolluted environment, boast unparalleled freshness and embody the natural vitality of Jirisan. The Kimbugak made from these ingredients offers a pure, wholesome taste free of artificial elements, letting you savor the essence of nature itself.
Carefully Selected Premium Ingredients
Hi500c only uses the finest ingredients, such as premium-grade musan seaweed, high-quality rice bran oil, and glutinous rice sourced domestically. Each ingredient is thoughtfully selected to ensure the highest quality. The result is a Kimbugak that highlights the natural umami of seaweed and delivers an extraordinary taste, embodying the true essence of premium craftsmanship.
