Hello! This is Sai from the staff. (I'm half Japanese and half Korean♪)
The other day, I went to Shin-Okubo by bicycle to buy food!
It's been a while since I've been to Shin-Okubo, but it was very lively. lol
The photo above was taken earlier, so there were 10 times as many people there. lol
[Seoul Market], which is always indebted to us in Shin-Okubo
If you go here, you'll find all the ingredients you need!
At one time, there were a lot fewer people in Shin-Okubo, but
It was regaining its vitality with the return of Korean dramas and the K-POP boom★
Speaking of Korean dramas, it's all about the ramen you eat in the hot pot.
Enjoy this with soju (shochu) ♪ lol
Gochujang is now available in Japanese supermarkets,
This assortment of products is unique to Shin-Okubo!
It seems like the real thing.
Personally, I like ssamjang eaten with samgyeopsal ♥ (the one in the green container)
Of course, there are many types of kimchi!
Kimchi with an authentic seasoning that is different from Japan!
Japanese people don't like sour kimchi lol
Various kinds of kimchi made by Korean aunties are being sold right in front of your eyes!
By the way, I bought octopus kimchi!
Kimchi keeps well, so you'll want to buy it in bulk when you come to Shin-Okubo!
This time I also bought pancake powder (^^)/
After all, if you make it with the authentic one, the taste will be different♪
and
The main focus this time is
this! ↓
Perilla powder! !
In Korea, it is really common to eat sesame.
It's so good for your skin that it's said that it can even cure atopic dermatitis!
*It is said to have antioxidant and rejuvenating effects.
Personally, I think Koreans have beautiful skin thanks to their perilla.
Sesame leaves are hard to see in Japan.
It's hard to eat it every day, so this perilla powder is highly recommended!
Some supermarkets also sell freshly prepared lunch boxes!
In these times when we can't go to Korea due to the coronavirus pandemic,
Why not experience a little bit of the Korean atmosphere in Shin-Okubo?
By the way, if you can't come to Tokyo, you can also shop online, so be sure to check it out!
