Mini Onggi (Fermentation jar)

At CHAE, onggi is far more than a traditional Korean earthenware vessel—it is the foundation of our cuisine. Every jar we use nurtures the slow fermentation of our soy sauce, doenjang, and gochujang through the changing seasons, allowing time and nature to shape their flavour.
 
We import our onggi directly from a seventh-generation family of master artisans in Gochang, South Korea, a region renowned for its centuries-old earthenware tradition. Crafted using techniques passed down over generations, each vessel is naturally breathable, creating an ideal environment for fermentation while reflecting the enduring skill of Korea's master potters.
 
Whether you are fermenting your own foods or simply appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, our onggi are designed to last for generations—bringing together tradition, function, and timeless beauty in every piece.
