Korean Bamboo Salt, 9x Roasted | Original Crystals | 8.47 oz
K-LAVA Korean 9x Roasted Bamboo Salt is an authentic Korean bamboo salt (jukyeom) made in Korea by Insanga (인산가), where sun-dried sea salt is sealed inside bamboo and roasted nine separate times over a pine-wood flame for deep, savory, coarse crystals — sourced by Kosbee.
Roasted Nine Times in Bamboo
To make this salt, Korean sun-dried sea salt is packed into cylinders of fresh bamboo, sealed with loess clay, and fired at high heat. The bamboo and clay are renewed and the salt is roasted again — nine times in all. This traditional process is what defines real jukyeom, and it gives K-LAVA Original its dry, coarse crystals and rounded, savory taste.
Bamboo salt, or jukyeom, has been crafted in Korea for generations by roasting sea salt inside bamboo. K-LAVA carries on the 120-year Korean bamboo-salt tradition associated with Insan Kim Il-hun (인산 김일훈), made today by Insanga (인산가).

How is this different from regular sea salt?
Regular sea salt is dried and packaged as is. This bamboo salt starts as Korean sun-dried sea salt, then is sealed in bamboo and roasted nine times over a pine-wood flame. That process gives it a deeper, rounder, gently sulfurous taste and coarse crystals rather than a sharp, plain saltiness.
