Members of the Slow Food Ulleung Branch in Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk, held an event on the 21st to make jang (fermented paste) using 'Usan Gorosoe.'

Usan Gorosoe is sap collected from Gorosoe trees in the Ulleungdo area. On this day, Ulleung-gun conducted a traditional food heritage event making soy sauce and doenjang using Usan Gorosoe.

The event was organized to convey the meaning and value of slow food to young students and to practice sharing. The matured doenjang and soy sauce will be distributed to elementary and middle school students in the district.

The Slow Food Ulleung Branch has been holding the Usan Gorosoe jang-making event for six years since 2017.

Kim Byung-su, the mayor of Ulleung-gun, said, “I am grateful to the Slow Food Ulleung Branch for preserving and promoting our traditional food through making jang using Usan Gorosoe and sharing it.”

Mayor Kim added, “I hope they continue to work hard to preserve traditional flavors and enhance the value of Ulleungdo’s local cuisine through various activities.”
