South Korea

Exploring South Korean Food

South Korea has an amazing mix of highly advanced technology and traditions that have lasted thousands of years. The country’s food and goods are a blend of these two factors, mixing the latest techniques with ancient flavors in products like pre-packaged ramen noodles. Japanese ramen became more popular in Korea after WWII, while Korean ramyun refers to the dry instant noodles that have spices and seasonings included. Just be warned: Korean spices are hotter than what you might find in the states! In addition to noodles, popular Korean dishes included pickled vegetables, such as the spicy fermented cabbage called kimchi, grilled meats, and rice. Traditional mixed bowl dishes like bibimbap combine all three ingredients, topped with a fried egg and soy sauce. 

Exploring South Korean Beauty Products 

In addition to an amazing food history, South Korea also has one of the biggest, most influential beauty and health product markets in the world. Beneficial skincare products such as face masks, creams, and cleansers are highly popular. One standout brand that Supermarket Italy carries is Therapispa, which produces salon quality sprays, shampoos, and conditioners that emphasize hair health as much as beauty.
