The purpose of this study was to investigate pattern of consumption of Korean fermented foods. The questionnaires have been collected from 290 housewives in Taejon. Kimchi was the most frequently selected for meal preparation among Korean fermented foods. Ninety seven percentage of housewives used Kimchi over once a day and 87%, every meal. Chin-ganjang, Kuk-ganjang, Kochujang and Doenjang have been consumed over once a day by 47%, 46%, 31% and 27% of housewives respectively, which indicated that those jangs were still essential seasonings for preperation of Korean foods. The percentage of housewives, who did not use Chonggukjang, Jot-kal and Jangatchi, were 18%, 19% and 22% respectively. With the educational level increasing and age decreasing, the frequency of consumption Kimchi, Jangat-chi, Doenjang, Kochujang, Jot-kal and Chonggukjang became lower. Extended family often used Doenjang more than nuclear family. Working housewives utilized more Jot-kal than full time housewives. Seventy four percentage of housewives replied that the consumption of Korean fermented foods came to reduce. The reasons were that the kinds of foods increased(54%), food preference of children was changed(27%), side dishes were increased(10%), and food preference of adults was changed(9%). Kimchi has been made by housewives themselves(86%) and by relatives(11%). It means that most housewives prefer home-made Kimchi. Half of housewives used jangs made by themselves. The younger and the higher in educational level use the less they have made of Kimchi and jangs.
