Pulmuone Launches Two Tube-Type ‘Spicy & Savory Ssamjang’ for Easy Squeezing

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Sunghye] Pulmuone is introducing tube-type ssamjang that offers an upgraded taste along with enhanced convenience of use.

On the 22nd, Pulmuone Foods announced the launch of two refrigerated tube ssamjang varieties, "Spicy Ssamjang" and "Nutty Ssamjang," which improve storage and consumption convenience with a squeezable tube format.

These two products solve the inconvenience of traditional ssamjang stored in square containers. Like ketchup or mayonnaise, they can be squeezed out, allowing easy use anytime and anywhere without a spoon, and can be consumed cleanly until the last drop without product spoilage caused by mixing with meat oils.

The compact design fits in refrigerator door compartments for convenient storage and is easy to carry during outdoor activities such as travel or camping.

Spicy Ssamjang highlights the sharp spiciness of Cheongyang chili peppers, pairing well with various meats. It also contains plenty of fresh vegetables like onions and garlic, offering a richer flavor. Nutty Ssamjang has a mild, non-irritating taste that goes well with ssambap (rice wrapped in leaves) or raw fish. It includes chopped nuts such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds to enhance a crispy texture and nutty flavor.

The two new tube ssamjang products are based on traditional soybean paste combined with red pepper powder and red pepper paste, delivering the savory and rich umami flavor unique to traditional sauces without heaviness. Additionally, being distributed refrigerated preserves the freshness and texture of the included vegetables and nuts.
