Description
Create the finest salt in Korea with the Uljin Toyum boiling experience!
Did you know that sea salt (cheonil-yeom) production was a method primarily used for mass production during the Japanese colonial period? If you're eager to learn traditional Korean salt-making techniques and craft a superior quality salt yourself, we highly recommend the 'Uljin Toyum' making experience! Uljin Toyum boasts exceptional nutritional value and quality, surpassing even the most luxurious salts worldwide. Come and create this premium salt, 'Uljin Toyum,' steeped in a thousand years of history, alongside your beloved family or friends!
- Learn about the value of Uljin Toyum, the characteristics of different salt production methods, and the ecology of the East Sea, which provides the raw materials for Uljin Toyum.
- Pour the brine, prepared using traditional methods, into an earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) and heat it with an alcohol lamp until all the water evaporates.
- Witness the amazing sight as salt crystals form while the water evaporates!
- Using the residual heat from the ttukbaegi, allow the salt to dry further, then crush and finely grind it with a spoon.
- After the experience, you can take home approximately 30g of the salt you've made yourself, packaged in a special container.
