Korean hansik ganjang by age (haet-, jung-, jin-ganjang)햇간장
Hansik ganjang is the liquid drawn off meju bricks steeped in brine, and it is aged in earthenware crocks for years. It is named by its age, from new haet-ganjang to jin-ganjang aged five years or more. With age it loses water, gains protein and acid, and turns darker and thicker.
spontaneous; traditional ganjang needs no starter culture (the meju is made first)
Total time across the recorded steps: 8 months – 15 years
Start
Drag the bar or press Play
What changes:Meju, charcoal and dried red peppers go into a clay jar and 20 % brine is poured over them

The study added 90 g of charcoal and 10 g of dried red peppers per jar, as in the standard procedure for traditional doenjang, to prevent undesirable contamination. Output: meju bricks covered by brine, with charcoal and dried red peppers.

Hansik ganjang is the liquid drawn off meju bricks steeped in brine, and it is aged in earthenware crocks for years. It is named by its age, from new haet-ganjang to jin-ganjang aged five years or more. With age it loses water, gains protein and acid, and turns darker and thicker. Made in 4 steps over 8 months – 15 years. The longest step, age in the crock, year on year, takes 6 months – 15 years (Chin Y.W 2024). Salt is 20 % (Lee Y.J 2026). Tetragenococcus and Yeasts Zygosaccharomyces rouxii (the most abundant fungus), Candida versatilis and Debaryomyces hansenii do most of the fermenting.
The process is the same as the parent's hansik ganjang; what differs is time. Aged samples had more solids, protein, acidity and free amino acids than young ones, and consumers liked them more. The name jin-ganjang is also used for gaeryang-ganjang, the modernised soy sauce not made from meju, so the two senses differ.
Haet-ganjang (new soy sauce)
Newly made soy sauce; Wikipedia gives about one year and also calls it cheongjang
Ssi-ganjang (seed soy sauce)Very old family ganjang, kept 100 to 600 years in head-family houses. A spoonful is added to new batches to carry its flavour over, and the jar is topped up with aged jin-ganjang.
Factory "jin-ganjang"A common name of gaeryang-ganjang, the modernised soy sauce not made from meju, named for its dark colour. Its kinds include a blend of hansik or brewed soy sauce with acid- or enzyme-hydrolysed soy sauce.
Safety
Eight aged samples measured 17.1–23.0 % salinity and pH 4.52–6.37. Korea's Food Code sets a total nitrogen minimum for hansik ganjang but no age classes.
A 2022 Seoul Economic Daily feature says Koreans have made ganjang since the Three Kingdoms period, and that the government was seeking UNESCO listing for jang making, with a decision expected around 2024.
