We seriously contemplate the nature of soy sauce.
It is Monggo Foods’ long-standing belief that soy sauce should be
the essence that completes a dish, not just an added seasoning.
The unique taste of Monggo Foods
is the unchanging taste of tradition.
Soy sauce is a basic flavoring for our food that has been on our table
for a long time. Monggo Foods, which has built up a history of soy
sauce since 1905, will create a new history of taste with unchanging
sincerity.

Gaining profits is for the sake of the country and the people,
and old dishes are handed down in the family from
generation to generation.
The ingredients eaten are a source of comfort and health,
and the quality of food depends on the divine spring water. -
This emphasizes corporate social responsibility in the sense that the profits gained through business activities are for the
society as a whole. The late founding chairman internalized and demonstrated ESG management, which has recently
become a hot topic in business management, as his business philosophy.
Also, as Monggo Soy Sauce originated from a clear well (spring water) called Monggojeong, it can be said to express
the will and sense of duty to provide health, comfort, and happiness through food with good ingredients and divine sincerity.
ORIGIN OF MONGGO FOODS
MONGGOJEONG (PROVINCIAL CULTURAL EXHIBIT 82)
In 1281 CE
(the first year of King Chungryul of Goryeo)
In 1281 CE, when the allied forces of Goryeo and Mongolia were stationed at Happo (present-day Masan) with the aim of conquering Japan, the well provided precious drinking water for the soldiers. Designated as South Gyeongsang Province Cultural Heritage No. 82, it is still in service after 700 years. It remains a mysterious well where water does not decrease or increase in drought or flood. Especially rich in minerals, it boasts excellent water quality for brewing.
An Old Image of Monggojeong in Masan
Monggojeong proves the taste of Masan, the home of soy sauce. Until the water supply facilities were built, Monggojeong was a precious common well for people of Masan. Due to its excellent water quality, it has become the main source of water for Monggo Soy Sauce. Since clean natural bedrock water was nested deep in the ground, it became the start of the Mongolian brand, which is committed to preserving the best taste of the sauce.
