Product description (long)
Created by Director Kim So-hyung, this concentrated ginger syrup captures the full, robust character of ginger while smoothing its sharp heat into a pleasant, balanced flavor. We start with carefully selected 100% Korean ginger, clean and fully dried of surface moisture, then press it directly — never diluted. A small amount of unrefined cane sugar is added to round the taste, and dried ginger is blended in for extra depth.
The result is a richly aromatic, spicy-sweet syrup that showcases natural gingerol and shogaol without artificial additives. Every batch undergoes testing for safety and active compound content so you can enjoy authentic ginger flavor with confidence.

Aanya Rao from Jaipur, India (verified owner) –
Upon first glance, I was dubious about yet another ginger product flooding the market—what makes this different? However, after incorporating Hemille Kim So-hyung’s Rich Ginger Extract into my daily routines from cozy chai lattes to spunky stir-fries, the unique flavor profile that marries warmth with spice is undeniable. Each drizzle transforms mundane meals into fragrant experiences reminiscent of bustling markets back in Jaipur where spices dictate their surroundings. The absence of refined sugars sweetened by raw cane truly struck a chord, allowing the robust notes of both fresh and dried ginger to flourish without cloying sweetness overtaking it. With lab testing offering peace of mind regarding quality and safety—all packed away in sturdy Tritan bottles—I’m genuinely impressed by its purity and vibrant essence rooted deep within Korean tradition.

Ao abrir a garrafa do extrato de gengibre Hemille Kim So-hyung, uma explosão aromática invade meus sentidos. O gosto é puramente visceral: o calor vibrante da raiz mistura-se à suavidade do açúcar não refinado em uma dança que faz minha boca dançar ao sabor e frescor coreano. Ao contrário dos xaropes comuns que eu experimentava, este se destaca por sua autenticidade e complexidade. Utilizo-o tanto para adoçar chás quanto na culinária — aquele toque extra em um curry transforma qualquer prato trivial numa celebração familiar autêntica. Com certeza, virou meu segredo especial!
