WHY PEOPLE STOP BY
What makes this gim worth bringing home
RARE INGREDIENT
Try a premium gim that is harvested for only about two months a year
This shop uses limited-quantity Gopchang-dol Gim raw seaweed, produced only in Korea. It is hard to find even within Korea, so it feels special from the first bite.
A short harvest season makes it genuinely hard to come across →
HANDCRAFTED
Get same-day gim marinated each morning and grilled sheet by sheet
Every morning, the gim is aged in freshly pressed perilla oil, then each sheet is hand-grilled on an Ok-dol. Only gim made that day is sold, so the aroma and texture stay fresh.
Freshly made the same day, with every step done by hand →
SIGNATURE TEXTURE
Enjoy a thicker crunch that feels closer to a snack than ordinary seaweed
They use gopchang gim that is about three times thicker than regular paraegim or jeraegim. It turns delightfully crispy, so it works well as a side dish or a bar snack.
About 3 times thicker than regular gim →
TRAVEL READY
Carry it through your trip more easily with packaging made to keep it crisp
Each purchase comes sealed with a desiccant packet, and vacuum packaging is free for orders over 30,000 won. That makes it easier to keep the crispy texture and rich aroma after a long day out or even after you return home.

MORE INFORMATION
Rare Korean raw seaweed
'Gawon Okdol Gim' is a premium gim shop that uses limited-quantity Gopchang-dol Gim raw seaweed, produced only in Korea, and grills and sells it fresh in-store.
Gopchangdol Gim gets its name from the bumpy, gopchang-like surface, and since it can only be harvested for about two months a year, it’s a rare premium ingredient that’s hard to find even within Korea.
Freshly grilled by hand every day
Every morning the gim is marinated and aged in freshly pressed perilla oil, then each sheet is hand-grilled on an Ok-dol (jade stone), so every step is done by hand, and only same-day production gim is sold that day to ensure freshness.
Thicker texture and richer bite
They use gopchang gim that is about three times thicker than regular paraegim or jeraegim, giving it a substantial thickness that turns delightfully crispy like a snack, and it’s very satisfying as a side or bar snack.
Packaging that works well for travel
Each purchase comes with sealed packaging including a desiccant packet, and vacuum packaging is free for orders over 30,000 won, so the crispy texture and rich aroma stay preserved during long trips or after returning home.

STAFF REVIEW
See why our team found it easy to recommend
"
I stopped by Gawon Okdol Gim, and since they roast the sheets right in the shop, the nutty aroma hit me and I couldn’t help getting excited. Thanks to the thicker gobchang-style gim, the texture was crunchier, almost like a chip, and once you eat one sheet you can’t stop. Because it’s roasted after being aged in perilla oil, the flavor is really rich, so it felt more like a proper delicacy than a simple snack. The packaging is good too, so it’s easy to buy while traveling, and the taste holds up after you get home, which made me very satisfied.
