In the case of general refrigerators, the internal temperature of the refrigerator is severely changed during the frequent opening and closing of the door, and the preservation period of kimchi is shortened by contact with the outside air while taking out the kimchi container out of the refrigerator to put the kimchi in the bowl. It is very difficult to maintain proper maturation. In order to solve this problem, kimchi storage has been developed that can ripen kimchi according to the change of seasons and user's preferences and then maintain the proper temperature for a long time to preserve the taste of ripe kimchi.

In general, kimchi storage is fermented and stored according to the user's preference, such as by applying heat to kimchi and fermenting it properly or by cooling the kimchi at low temperature and storing it for a long time in the form of fresh kimchi as the first time. It is equipped with a cooling device and a heating device. Initially, the heating device is used to ripen kimchi stored in the inner case as quickly as desired, and then the cooling device is used to maintain the temperature of the inner case at an appropriate level. By doing so, it becomes possible to preserve the taste and freshness of kimchi for a long time.
