Established in 2001, D.Y. Imports has built its reputation as the specialist in kimchi refrigerators
For our entire existence, our focus has been kimchi refrigerators. As the longtime U.S. importer and distributor of Dimchae° kimchi refrigerators, we've spent decades helping customers across the United States choose, use, and care for these specialized refrigerators designed to preserve homemade kimchi.
Over the years, we listened carefully to our Dimchae° customers. We heard the same requests again and again. Customers asked for:
A kimchi refrigerator that was easier to access
A kimchi refrigerator that easily fit modern homes
A kimchi refrigerator that offers English controls
A kimchi refrigerator at an approachable price
All those conversations inspired KimchiMama.
KimchiMama is designed by Korean engineers with extensive experience in kimchi refrigeration. KimchiMama combines specialized fermentation technology with thoughtful design, modern features, and intuitive English controls. Our goal was to create refrigerators that honor the tradition of kimchi while making it easier for today’s households to enjoy the benefits of properly stored and fermented kimchi.
The name KimchiMama reflects the tradition of homemade kimchi being lovingly prepared and shared from one generation to the next. In many Korean families, kimchi is more than food—it’s a family tradition. Just as a mother carefully prepares kimchi for her loved ones, KimchiMama was created to honor the care and love that goes into every batch.
Today, we continue to provide U.S.-based customer support in both English and Korean. Our customers speak directly with knowledgeable people who take the time to understand their needs and provide personalized support.
