Korean Food
Korean food and dramas are popular in Japan.
I’m not interested in the dramas but I like buying Korean food. Most foods are made of garlic, red pepper and sesame oil. So they are a bit hot.
The Kimchi is the most popular among them, as you know. Of course, it’s delicious to eat it straight. But I fry it with pork. It’s called “Pork with Kimuch” 豚キムチ
This is Korean laver which is more salty and contains sesame oil.
It’s good to put it on rice.
There is Korean beer. I found it recently at the import shop. It’s cheaper than the Japanese ones but the taste is different. It depends on whether you like it or not.
This is “Samjan” in Korean for frying beef and vegetables such as lettuces, Korean lettuces and cucumbers.
These foods give us good appetite.
Luckily, I can buy them easily at most super markets.
Have you ever eaten Korean food?
Would have been very interesting to taste. Enjoy, Cocomino!
Thank you. They are my favorite foods.
i have eaten at a korean restaurant once, when i lived in houston. i especially enjoyed all of the pickles and other odds and ends served alongside the main dish!
I see. How nice. I also like the pickles. I often eat it with rice. It’s a perfect dinner.
pickles! yum!
I did and I love Korean food. The first one is so mouth watering… now I’m hungry haha
Many thanks. I’m glad that you also like it. Hope that you have already eaten a great food
Yeah I did and thanks
Your pictures are making me hungry, Cocomino! I love Korean food. There is an excellent Korean restaurant very close to my home here in San Francisco that I visit a lot. I love the bold flavors and the many beef choices. I especially like kimchee … I LOVE spicy food! I would like to try that Korean beer.
Thank you so much. I didn’t imagine that there was also Korean restarurant in San Francisco. I also like spicy food with rice.
I rarely eat Korean food, cause they are usually too spicy and hot for me!
Thanks. I thought so because the Hong Kong(or Chinese) food sound spice and hot.
Yes, I like Korean food, but not the spicy foods. I can’t tolerate kimchee because of the spiciness. (I love tsukemono, though. My grandma used to make a lot of this when I was a kid!)
Is the laver a seaweed? If it is, I have found the same thing here (at Costco) that is a little salty and contains sesame oil and perilla oil. I do like it with rice. I also like the korean barbecue and make my version at home. I have not tried the beer.
I see. Of course there are people who don’t like spice food.
The laver seaweed sounds same to ours. It goes well with rice well.
Korean barbecue ( it may be “Yakiniku” ) is my favorite.
I love Korean food. They are pretty expensive here in Singapore. I buy the ingredients and tried to cook Korean dishes at home for my family.
Thank you for stopping by. I have been Shingapore over 15 years ago.
I remembered the food like Chinese one.
Your food photos are wonderful. I have a friend from Korea and she made some Korean food. The kimchee is too hot for me
I see. The kimchee cooked by Korean people are hotter than the one cooked by Japanese.
キムチ、大好きです。
先週、ロンドンの韓国レストランで
キムチの炒飯を食べました。
とてもおいしかったですよ。
ああ、キムチチャーハンは私も好きです。 ロンドンにはなんでもありそうですね。
I’m not totally sure whether I’ve eaten Korean food or not but I like spicy food and will look out for it in a supermarket. I’d like to try the beer
I hope that you’ll find great ingredients for Korean dish. That beer was new to me.
Korean food is one I’ve never tried, but would like to. The pictures look scrumptious!
Thank you so much. It was delicious than you thought.
I haven’t tasted dear Cocomino… But I can’t eat very hot foods… But they seem so nice, Thank you dear Cocomino, have a nice weekend, love, nia
My pleasure. I know that Turkish food is also very delicious and not too hot.
Have a great weekend. 
I love kimchi and I even pickle it myself, but I’ve never tried to fry it with meat. I only ate it as a sidedish or added to soups, must try it! I also like Korean salted laver, but never tasted Korean beer.
There is a good shop with mainly Korean and some Japanese foods close to where I live and I often do shopping there.
Thank you for sharing. I recommand to fry the kimchi with meat.
That shop you mentioned sounds very nice. I can live in Poland.
The part of Osaka where my friend lives is called Koreatown. She loves kimchi. We had Korean barbecue in Osaka long ago, but a few years ago in New Jersey we also had the kind where you cook it at the table and I LOVED it. Where I live now, though, it’s not really possible to get good Korean food. Too bad!
As you say, there are some Koreantown in Osaka, Tokyo and other local cities. I visited some of them and the almost all the korean barbecue were really nice. They are popular among us.
We love Korean food as well and Kimchi is a favourite. Love it with pork and fried rice (Kimchi cha-han).
Japan Australia
Thanks much. I’m glad that you also like Kimchi cha-han. It’s easy to cook.
I’ve heard that yakiniku has Korean origins. If that’s true, then yakiniku is the only Korean food I like. The rest is too spicy for me. PS: Korean beer? Now that’s something I’d like to try!
That’s true. I would like to visit Korea to eat real yakiniku.
I meant that Korean beer was made in Korea. It’s not called “Korean beer.”
I always have gochujang. doenjang and kimchi stocked up in my fridge. ^^
How nice. Your dinner must be really good because of those ingreidients.
They go well with various meat and vegetables.
i like korean food, but i like japanese more. thanks for sharing these photographs! they made me hungry!
Thanks for that you like Japanese food a lot.
I had some kimchi for lunch today… It was delicious but the smell is very strong.
What a coincidence! yes, the smell is so strong that you can’t eat it before you meet with very important person.
＞新しい建物と古い建物がまじってますね。東京みたいです。
そうですね。でも東京と比べたら、ロンドンでは新しい建物はもっと少ないと思います。
確かに、ロンドンも含めヨーロッパは規制が厳しく新しい建物を建てるのが難しいみたいですね。
I like Korean food very much too… the kimchi…. chige… chijimi… lovely…
Ah, chige is also very nice and chijimi is similar to okonomi-yaki.お好み焼き
I like both of them.
My son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter lived in Seoul for three years (actually,my granddaughter was born there and lived there only about two years! Ha!) and often blogged about having kimchi! As they have many Asian friends in metro Atlanta,GA where they now make their home, they still eat many Korean style dishes. I am hungry from your photos, Coco!
That’s interesting. I have never been to Korea although it’s near to Japan. What a shame. I must visit Korea for eating real Korean food.
I have never tried Korean food before (although it looks very good)!
My father was in Korea for a while when he was drafted into the Army, though…
he used to tell me stories about Kimchi…
I see. Thanks for sharing. The Kimchi is very famous all the world. It’s awesome.
The food is really good.
I laughed at your first line, because korean food and dramas are super popular here too..but i only eat the food : ) I didn’t know korean seaweed is more salty–is it just as popular as japanese seaweed then?
I didn’t know that. Interesting. Korean seaweed is poplar but japanese ones are more popular than it.
私も韓国料理大好きです！サムケタン食べたいな！トッポッキも！キムチチゲも！あ….言い出したらきりがない（笑）
そうですね。いろいろ美味しいものがありますから選ぶのに困ってしまいますね。
東京ですと、大久保とかいろんなところに韓国料理の店が集まっているところがあります。。
