A low-sugar gochujang that traces back to a grandmother's hand in Seoul's Sindang-dong. It's built the honest way: meju powder instead of glutinous rice or flour, Korean low-sodium soy sauce, and three-year-aged anchovy sauce, all from 100% Korean ingredients. A certified low-sugar gochujang sweetened only with allulose and fermentation, it has just 1g of sugar per 100g, about a tenth of a typical gochujang, while keeping the clean, building heat and deep savory backbone of a proper jang.

Net weight: 250g (8.81 oz)
Storage method: Store at room temperature; refrigerate after opening

신당동 할머니의 손맛 그대로, 당만 확 낮춰 담은 저당 고추장이에요. 찹쌀이나 밀가루 대신 메주가루로 빚고, 국산 저염 한식간장과 3년 숙성 멸치액젓을 더한 100% 국산 재료 고추장이죠. 설탕도 물엿도 없이 알룰로스와 발효로만 단맛을 낸 저당 고추장 인증 제품으로, 당류는 100g당 1g, 일반 고추장의 약 1/10 수준이에요. 깔끔하게 차오르는 매운맛과 깊은 감칠맛은 그대로 담았습니다.
Sweetness from fermentation, not sugar
Most gochujang leans on sugar, starch syrup, or flour to round out its heat. Thank-You Gochujang doesn't use any of them. Instead, the sweetness comes from allulose — a naturally derived sweetener — and from the fermentation itself, so the paste tastes softly sweet and clean rather than sticky or cloying. The heat is there, but it builds gently and settles into the savory depth underneath. That makes it one for anyone who has kept an eye on sugar or refined carbs and set gochujang aside — here's one you can reach for without a second thought.
100% Korean, and properly fermented
It's built the way good gochujang should be: Korean red chili powder for color and heat, naturally brewed Korean soy sauce and meju powder for a deep fermented backbone, and a little anchovy fish sauce for savory roundness. Everything is Korean-grown, it's gluten-free, and it's made in a HACCP-certified facility. There's no flour bulking it up — just the ingredients that give gochujang its flavor.
How to use it
Use it anywhere you'd reach for gochujang. Stir a spoonful into bibimbap, build a sauce for tteokbokki, or fold it into a marinade for jeyuk (spicy pork) or bulgogi. It plays well past Korean cooking, too — whisk it into a glaze for roasted vegetables or wings, or a dressing with sesame oil and vinegar. Start with a spoonful and add to taste.
발효에서 오는 단맛
고추장은 보통 매운맛을 부드럽게 만들기 위해 설탕이나 물엿, 밀가루를 넣어요. 고맙당 고추장엔 그중 아무것도 안 들어갑니다. 단맛은 천연 감미료 알룰로스와 발효에서 나오죠. 그래서 끈적하거나 물리지 않고, 은은하게 달면서 깔끔해요. 매운맛도 분명하지만 천천히 번지며 감칠맛으로 가라앉습니다. 평소 당이나 탄수화물이 신경 쓰여 고추장을 마음껏 즐기지 못했던 분들도 부담 없이 쓸 수 있어요.
100% 국산 재료로 만든 고추장
재료는 정직해요. 색과 매운맛을 내는 국산 고춧가루, 깊은 발효의 바탕이 되는 한식간장과 메주가루, 감칠맛을 둥글게 잡아 주는 멸치액젓 조금. 전부 국산이고 글루텐프리이며, HACCP 인증 시설에서 만듭니다. 양을 부풀리는 밀가루 없이, 고추장 맛을 내는 재료만 들었어요.
이렇게 쓰세요
고추장을 쓰던 자리에 그대로 쓰세요. 비빔밥에 한 숟갈, 떡볶이 소스로, 제육이나 불고기 양념으로요. 한식 밖에서도 잘 어울립니다. 구운 채소나 윙에 바르는 글레이즈로, 참기름과 식초를 더한 드레싱으로. 한 숟갈로 시작해 입맛에 맞게 더하세요.
Choicest Meal — operating in Korea as Specialtaste Co. — opened in Seoul's Sindang-dong in 1965, where a grandmother's gochujang and doenjang won a following that soon spread across the country. From the start she insisted on rice-based gochujang made only with carefully chosen ingredients, never flour. Three generations on, the family has widened that legacy into the low-sugar Thank-You (Gomapdang) line and a range of sauces that reimagine traditional jang for modern kitchens. Everything is made under HACCP and the international FSSC 22000 standard, and the company holds two patents in fermented-sauce production, is a designated venture company, and won a 2024 Brand Customer Loyalty Award in Korea's low-sugar-sauce category.
