Onggi is a traditional Korean earthenware pottery known for its durability and ability to regulate temperature and humidity. Made from natural clay, these vessels are often used for fermenting foods like kimchi and doenjang (soybean paste). The porous nature of onggi allows for the fermentation process to occur effectively, enhancing the flavors of the food stored inside. Onggi comes in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes. The craftsmanship of onggi has been passed down through generations, and it is recognized as an important part of Korean cultural heritage. Today, onggi is appreciated not only for its functionality but also for its aesthetic appeal in modern kitchens.
