Sejong Traditional Paste Museum

Opened in 2013, the Sejong Traditional Jang Museum is a specialized museum where you can explore Korea's jang (fermented sauce) culture in one place. The exhibition halls are filled with rich displays, including the history of jang, Korea's fermented foods, various soybean seeds used as ingredients for jang, and scientific storage containers. Outdoors, jangdok (fermentation jars) of different shapes according to each region's climate and culture are exhibited together, sparking visitors' curiosity. Hands-on programs are also offered, such as making natural grain soap shaped like meju and making jipjang, one of the traditional jang foods enjoyed by Koreans. If you visit after November, when jang is traditionally made, you can also watch the process of making doenjang and gochujang in the traditional way.
