Kim'C Market

How Golden Queen Rice Took Over NYC’s Korean Fine Dining Restaurants | Eater NY

"I visited Kim’C Market in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and found it tucked inside an industrial office building, where founder Ryan Kim has curated a luxury stash of Korean goods—1,000-day-aged vintage organic gochujang, handpicked Jeju seaweed—and a back corner devoted to single-origin rice. Kim imports Golden Queen in refrigerated containers kept at 16°C, bought a Japanese milling machine after a long search, and now offers on-site, customizable milling so chefs can get precisely the flavor and texture they want; he retails packages with milling dates and has expanded to five (soon seven) single-origin cultivars." - Caroline Shin
