UNESCO-designated World Natural Heritage Water
Mineral water products made from the cleanest water in Korea
Summary
Is there any Korean who doesn't know Jeju Samdasoo? Samdasoo is so famous that there is a saying, "If someone doesn't know Jeju Samdasoo, he is a spy." Today, I would like to talk about Jeju Samdasoo, a water that you must drink on a trip to Korea.
Like Evian in France, Korea has Jeju Samdasoo
As such, Jeju Samdasoo is loved not only by me but also by all Koreans. For reference, Jeju Samdasoo is said to be safe water that has never changed its water quality for 25 years since its launch in 1998. It is also a product that has been approved by the US FDA, Japan Health and Welfare Agency, and by strict water quality inspection by Chinese authorized agencies.
It's a little difficult for me to install a water purifier at home. So I order Jeju Samdasoo. This means that Samdasoo is cheaper than water supplied to water purifiers. I don't know if it's delicious because I'm not a water sommelier, but I heard Jeju Samdasoo has the best water quality among domestic water products.
Why Jeju Samdasoo Water Quality Is Good
Why do they say Jeju Samdasoo has good water quality? Jeju Samdasoo is evaluated as a luxury water quality created by pine mushrooms and basalt layers. Pine mushrooms and clinkers exist on and under the ground of Jeju Island, and these substances are said to have excellent ability to filter out pollutants. In addition, porous basalt layers with holes are abundant, so it is sometimes said to filter out various harmful substances, including heavy metals entering Jeju Samdasoo.

Water Quality
Q) How clean is Jeju Samdasoo?
Jeju Samdasoo is also called "clean water filtered for 18 years from the largest natural water purifier on Earth." As such, Jeju Samdasoo is evaluated as clean and nature-friendly water, and it is also clean water that has passed strict water quality tests by famous institutions such as the U.S. FDA and Japan Health and Welfare.
Q) How deep does Jeju Samdasoo use groundwater?
Jeju Samdasoo is said to be water that exists in the 420 meter underground volcanic rock formed 500,000 years ago. Thanks to this, Jeju Samdasoo is known to have no major pollutants.

Calcium (Ca): 2.5 to 4.0
potassium (K): 1.5 to 3.4
Sodium (Na): 4.0-7.2
Magnesium (Mg): 1.7-3.5
Fluorine (F): Undetected
Vanadium (V): a very small amount
As you can see from the ingredient table, the proportion of limestone is significantly lower than that of famous mineral water in Europe. In addition, it has less calcareous than almost all mineral water produced on land. This is one factor that softens the taste of water.

pH (hydrogen ion concentration index): 7.8
Hardness: 18.7
Outline
Mineral water produced by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation and sold by Kwangdong Pharmaceutical. It called "national mineral water." There are popular 2L and 500mL of capacity, and around October 2018, additional 1L and 330mL products were released. The official name is Jeju Samdasoo, a volcanic rock water where volcanic rocks act as filters.
It was released on March 5, 1998, and has been maintaining it since it topped the mineral water category sales in six months. As of January 2018, the domestic market share is said to be 42%, and in 2009, it has risen to 51%. It was released in Taiwan on March 19, 2013, and also in China on March 29 of the same year.
Evian vs Samdasoo vs Volvic
Among Western mineral water, it is very similar to Volvic, a mineral water of volcanic rock water in France. Compared to cheap bottled water, the quality of water is certainly good, and the taste deteriorates very long even if left for a long time. Some say that Volvic and Evian, who hold high-end positions tightly because of one Samdasoo, are not as good as they are in Korea.
The price is very low in Jeju Island. This is because the distribution Samdasoo in Jeju Island is directly sold by the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation and has a different sales entity. Bundle packaging is also different from products distributed in Jeju Island and other regions. The easier-to-understand feature is that Samdasoo for Jeju Island has a light green handle and a blue handle for other regions. However, the packaging of individual products is the same as for other regions. These days, both stores in Jeju Island and other regional stores are filmed in the same design, perhaps because of cost reduction. However, it is marked as for sale in Jeju Island below the expiration date. On the other hand, if you go to Jeju Port, you can often see the rare scenery of tens of thousands of Samdasoo PET bottles waiting for shipment. It has been designated as the official mineral water for the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. In April 2016, Taeyeon and Kyu-hyun appeared as models for Samdasoo, releasing a remake of Jeju Blue Night and Samdado News and producing a TV commercial. Related news article: Jeju Island's Blue Night MV. Samdado News MV. Since 2018, it has sponsored Jeju United, the only professional sports team based in Jeju Island, and #, the logo of Jeju Samdasoo is behind the uniform. In April 2019, Kim Hye-soo was selected as an advertising model for Samdasoo, and in March 2020, IU was selected as an advertising model. Under the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Ordinance, only Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation and Korea Airport can produce "Eating water" made in Jeju. Other companies are not authorized at all. Kwangdong Pharmaceutical and LG Household & Health Care do not produce directly, but sell through exclusive sales rights contracts on land. The reason why Korean airports are firmly contained is because Korean airports produce bottled water from Jeju Island first, not from Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation. Please refer to the "History" paragraph below. Jeju Samdasoo, born from the beautiful nature of Jeju Island! The history of Jeju Samdasoo begins before 1960, which can be called the "water hub era." It is said that "mulheobuk" means a bucket of water with about 20 liters of water in Jeju Island. In order to transport water essential for daily life using water hubs, many Jeju residents used to travel 10 miles in search of water, so how precious water was. Therefore, it is said that Jeju Island's unique living culture occurred around Yongcheon water, where groundwater rises between rocks and cracks in the stratum. Between the 1960s and 1990s, Eoseungjeong Reservoir was established in Jeju Island! And it is said that activities for the development of water resources in Jeju Island have begun in earnest. As a result, various problems such as environmental pollution have been raised due to indiscriminate development of groundwater, and Korea's first groundwater use permit system has been introduced as a countermeasure. They created a global groundwater management model that manages groundwater as air water and begins systematic investigation and management of groundwater! This clean and healthy underground water was created under the brand Jeju Samdasoo. Now that it has been loved by the people for its "National mineral water" from the 2000s to the present, let's take a closer look at the advantages of Jeju Samdasoo. Jeju Samdasoo is produced as raw water in the 420m underground volcanic rock layer created 500,000 years ago. 420 meters underground is a place where pollutants are difficult to penetrate, so the water here has maintained very clean water quality since 1998 when it was first produced. In addition, the volcanic stratum of Jeju Island acts as a natural water purifier that filters out impurities from water. In particular, pine and basalt in the ground of Jeju Island filter out various harmful substances, including heavy metals. That's why when rain falls on the ground, impurities are filtered down through a gap in the deep lava layer of Jeju Island, and Jeju Samdasoo, which has only good ingredients like minerals, becomes Jeju Samdasoo! In addition, the source of Jeju Samdasoo is produced in the forest area near Hallasan National Park, a clean natural environment, and contains the clean nature of Jeju Island. Jeju Samdasoo, which passes through such a clean and is full of good ingredients, is not only safe but also has the function of relieving various bad symptoms in our body. According to recent research results, Jeju Samdasoo improves blood sugar, which is effective in treating diabetes, and if you drink it steadily, it helps improve skin inflammation and immunity! As such, studies on the excellent water quality of Jeju Samdasoo are currently being actively conducted. In addition, it contains an appropriate amount of minerals dissolved while passing through the volcanic rock layer of Jeju Island, creating the fresh and refreshing taste of Jeju Samdasoo's unique water. So it's delicious just to drink Jeju Samdasoo, but you can enjoy more delicious drinks when you drink tea, coffee, or powdered milk. Jeju Island's natural environment is also influenced by the excellent water quality and taste of Jeju Samdasoo, but thorough production and quality control of Samdasoo also play a part! Jeju Samdasoo has been recognized as very safe water for 20 years since its launch in 1998, passing strict water quality tests by various institutions such as the U.S. FDA, Japan Welfare, and Chinese authorized institutions. In addition to ISO9001 and ISO14001 which are international quality standards, we have obtained various global certification such as NSF International and FSSC22000 in the United States, and have been reborn as a world-class production and quality management system! In addition, 14 places around the water intake are thoroughly supervised and managed in real time with the state-of-the-art automatic measurement network every hour, so you can drink Jeju Samdasoo more without worrying! The source of Jeju Samdasoo is 1717-35, Namjo-ro, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. This place is located in a forest area adjacent to Hallasan National Park, so it is said to be a clean area where there is no pollutant source and its natural primitiveity is well preserved. In fact, Samdasoo is said to secure water quality stability by requesting annual water quality analysis for standard tests of national accredited institutions, the United States, and Japan. They seem to have done well in making images such as world-famous mineral water Evian and Volvic. Jeju Island's clean and nature-friendly image seems to have influenced the image of Jeju Samdasoo a lot. Jeju Island has the largest annual precipitation in Korea, and about 46% of the total precipitation permeates underground, forming vast groundwater resources. Among them, Gyorae Village, where the Samdasoo plant is located, is the only place in Jeju Island where mineral water is allowed to be taken in because it rains a lot. Samdasoo has a shelf life of 24 months, much longer than the shelf life of 6 months or 12 months (8), so it is very useful for packing a survival backpack. Usually, bottled water with an expiration date of three years in the U.S. or five years in Japan is sold in survival packages, but Samdasoo, which has a long expiration date, is useful because it is expensive and does not sell long-term bottled water in Korea.
