Four principles behind every Nakgopsae.

A brand is only as good as the taste it can repeat. Ingredients, blending, time and handwork — these are the standards JeongNagchi keeps.

Our Craft

Four principles behind every Nakgopsae.

We cook Nakgopsae every day, and it has to taste the same every time. These are the things we never change.

Aged signature tateggi

01

Tateggi, aged for depth

Several Korean chillies, aromatic vegetables and seasonings are blended in one batch. About two days of ageing takes the edge off the heat and lets the flavour and aroma settle.

Our own Korean chilli blend

Coarse and fine chillies from different regions, mixed to our own ratio. The blend brings out the sweetness and aroma behind the heat and keeps the finish gentle.

The broth we prepare in house

03

A broth made in house

Octopus, beef intestine and shrimp each release their flavours at different stages of cooking. We watch for the point where they meet, so the broth stays clean to the last spoonful.

Ingredients chosen daily

Seafood, vegetables and spices brought from Korea. Every delivery is checked by hand, and only the best of the day goes into the pot.
