Hello!

We’re Halmoni — a small but mighty mother-daughter duo from Tacoma, WA, making fresh, no-nonsense kimchi using our cherished family recipe.

It all started in June 2024, after baby #2, when instead of taking a well-earned nap, I (Jeein, the daughter) accidentally launched a kimchi business with my mom (the real boss).

The real boss? My mom. (aka ‘halmoni’)

We’re known for making fresh, flavor-packed kimchi with a perfect balance of heat, tang, and crunch. It’s the kind that’s converted kimchi skeptics into full-blown believers.

Everything’s hand-packed each week using real, wholesome ingredients — no weird stuff, just the good stuff your halmoni would approve of.

We named our brand Halmoni (it means grandma in Korean) to honor the women who’ve passed down food, care, and culture through generations — and to remind ourselves that the best things in life take time, patience, and maybe a little garlic.

Made fresh. Packed fresh.
Eaten however you want it.

Come say hi at a market, crack open a jar, and taste the love. Or find us at one of the stores we’re stocked in — listed here.
