Jangdokdae (Hangul:장독대) or ''Jangttokttae'' is an outside space, most frequently a terrace, where a series of jars are gathered. The jars are a subkind of ''Jangdok'' (or ''Onggi''), a Korean ethnic earthenware. They are used to ferment or simply store comestible goods, typically Kimchi, soybeans, bean and red pepper paste or grains. ''Jangdok'' (Hangul:장독) means "a (big) jar" and ''dae'' (Hangul:대) means "place", "support"... so ''jangdokdae'' (Hangul:장독대) means "place for jangdok(s)". The jars are called ''hangari'' (Hangul:항아리)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rice Cake and Traditional Kitchen Utensils Museum )〕 or ''onggi'' (Hangul:옹기).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Korea Information )〕 This place is commonly found directly near traditional Korean houses, more precisely near the kitchen. Sunshine and ventilation are key aspects in the location choice, so that foods can be preserved and kept fresh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Korea Information )〕 Well-preserved ingredients may stay for several years in the jars. == See also == * Korean cuisine : * Gochujang : * Teojusin * Korean pottery : * Onggi
