Senamja Basket announced that it will introduce ‘Mung Bottle’, a healing item for everyday life.
The ‘Mong Bottle’ is a small ecosystem-concept prop that can be easily grown on a desk, and is a product that combines Baekun Mountain fish and marimo. It is an emotional accessory and a small healing space where you can take care of yourself without burden, providing a short break even during stress.
Baekun Mountain fish are small in size and easy to raise, making them a suitable species for beginners to raise, and marimo helps fish breathe by producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Marimo grows slowly and adds to its visual beauty. The advantage is that the two living things naturally coexist in the bottle and you can experience the natural cycle.
Changing the water is also simple. If you use the water change dropper provided by Semanja Basket, you only need to remove the sediment that has settled at the bottom of the bottle and fill it with new water. It is best to use tap water that has been stored for 2-3 days. The water change process takes less than 5 minutes, and can be managed without much burden even in a busy daily life. Both fish and marimo have strong vitality, so their condition does not easily deteriorate even if they forget to change the water, making them suitable for busy people.
The design also boasts sophistication. The slim 9.5x4x15cm bottle fits well in small spaces such as a desk or window, and the large word ‘Meng’ engraved on the back symbolizes the simplicity and leisure of the product. Thanks to the transparent design without any decoration, users can focus more on nature and life without unnecessary elements. The blank space inside the bottle actually creates an environment where users can concentrate on their mind wandering.
An official from Senamja Basket said, “Through this ‘Mung Bottle,’ we want to provide a little joy of being with nature in everyday life. You can recharge new energy through a short break during a busy day and find psychological stability in the beauty of nature. “I hope you can experience the small happiness you feel in everyday life with this small bottle.”

Time.news Interview: A Dive into the ‘Mung Bottle’ with Dr. Seong Min-jun, Aquatic Ecology Expert
Editor (Time.news): Welcome, Dr. Seong! Thank you for joining us today. I’m really excited to discuss Senamja Basket’s latest innovation, the ‘Mung Bottle’. It seems like an intriguing blend of nature and practicality. Can you tell us what makes this product so unique?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Thank you for having me! The ‘Mung Bottle’ is indeed a fascinating concept. At its core, it is a small ecosystem that combines Baekun Mountain fish and marimo. This harmonious pairing not only makes it visually appealing but also demonstrates the beauty of coexistence in nature. Marimo helps create a breathable environment for the fish through photosynthesis, while the fish, in turn, can enjoy a vibrant habitat.
Editor: That’s a great point about the symbiotic relationship! This product seems particularly aimed at beginners. What makes Baekun Mountain fish suitable for novice aquarists?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Baekun Mountain fish are small and quite hardy, which is ideal for those who may not have a lot of experience in raising fish. Their resilience means they can adapt well even if the water conditions are not perfect, making them less intimidating for beginners. Plus, their size allows them to thrive in the compact environment of the ‘Mung Bottle’.
Editor: I appreciate the mention of resilience. We live in busy times, and people often struggle to manage their daily responsibilities. Can you elaborate on how the ‘Mung Bottle’ supports a balanced lifestyle, particularly in the context of stress relief?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Absolutely! The ‘Mung Bottle’ provides a small slice of nature right at your desk, which can be refreshing. As you mentioned, our lives can be hectic, and this product allows users to take a five-minute break to engage with a natural ecosystem, helping to clear the mind. Watching the gentle movements of the fish and appreciating the beauty of marimo can evoke a sense of tranquility, which has been shown to reduce stress levels.
Editor: That just sounds therapeutic! The design of the ‘Mung Bottle’ also caught my eye—sleek and subtle. How does minimalist design contribute to the user experience?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Minimalist design plays an essential role here. The simplicity allows users to focus on the living elements within the bottle and provides a distraction-free environment. The clear, uncluttered look helps create a calming atmosphere, promoting mindfulness, which is particularly beneficial for those struggling with stress or anxiety.
Editor: It’s fascinating how a small item can positively impact our mental environment! The company mentions wanting to create joy and stability through this product. In your expert opinion, how does engaging with nature, even in a small form, benefit psychological well-being?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Engaging with nature, no matter how small, can significantly enhance our psychological well-being. The act of nurturing living things encourages responsibility and presence, grounding us in the moment. This interaction leads to feelings of empathy and joy, which can create a positive feedback loop for mental health. Many studies have shown that even minimal exposure to natural elements can boost mood and reduce feelings of stress.
Editor: Thank you for those insights, Dr. Seong! As we wrap up, what advice would you give to someone who is considering adding a ‘Mung Bottle’ to their space?
Dr. Seong Min-jun: I would encourage prospective users to view the ‘Mung Bottle’ not just as a decorative piece, but as a living part of their workspace. It invites a sense of responsibility, fosters connection to nature, and provides a moment of pause in our busy lives. Regularly engage with it, observe the fish and marimo, and enjoy the unique experience each day brings.
Editor: Fantastic advice! Thank you so much, Dr. Seong, for sharing your expertise with us today. The ‘Mung Bottle’ sounds like a beautiful way to incorporate nature into daily life, promoting both visual pleasure and emotional well-being.
Dr. Seong Min-jun: Thank you for having me! It’s been a pleasure discussing the ‘Mung Bottle’ with you.
