[Nagoya] Korean Food Specialty Supermarket "Narita"

I got a Haddock & Tejigalbi Stick

Tejigalbi bar

At the Daimon branch, you can also take out freshly fried "Hadduk" and "Tejigalbi bar" on the spot. This time I actually tried it! Hadduk is crispy on the outside and rich mozzarella cheese on the inside. Of course you can fry it in oil, but you can also enjoy it in the microwave.

The tejigalbi bar is a Narita original product from Japan that is not found in Korea. Pork belly is wrapped in rice and cheese, and finished with Narita's special rib sauce that is spicy and sweet. Both are frozen, so you can eat them quickly when you are hungry! It's very delicious and addictive.

Narita's recommended products

Here are some of our recommended products! Nobutaka and her older sisters Miharu and Miho will appear.

First of all, you can't miss the all-purpose Korean seasoning "Gochijang" when talking about Narita. Since its founding, it is a “special taste” that has been created through repeated trial and error. They outsource manufacturing to a miso brewer in Japan, and are made with time and effort using traditional Korean manufacturing methods.

There are many kinds of homemade kimchi! In general, Chinese cabbage kimchi is the standard, but Narita has a wide variety of variations such as radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and yam kimchi.

They are also particular about vegetables, and it is said that they choose ingredients that are conscious of local production for local consumption.

“Yukgejang udon” is recommended by Miharu, the older sister. “Delicious udon that tastes like raw noodles, and the slow-cooked yukhoejang soup are the best.”

With this, you can easily cook at home!

Frozen soup made by Nobutaka-san. Starting with the most popular Yukgaejang soup, all of the soups are made with carefully selected ingredients. Please try it!

We also recommend the Narita Dressing Series and the Narita Korean Fried Sauce Series.

There are two types of Narita Dressing Series: Choregi Dressing and Salted Sesame Dressing. It's a versatile dressing with a wide range of uses, such as salad, pancake sauce, and gyoza sauce.

Also, in the Korean fried chicken series, you can enjoy Korean-style fried chicken just by adding seasonings! Honey mustard can be used in a variety of ways, such as fried chicken, chicken sauce, and hot vegetable dipping sauce. I want to try Korean food at home! For those who say, why don't you arrange the seasoning and make it?

I visited Narita for the first time when I was in high school. I remember the first time a friend brought me here. At that time, it wasn't as easy to buy anything online as it is now, so I remember being very excited when I saw ingredients and Korean sweets for the first time.

As a kitchen for Korean residents in Japan, Narita has continued to support the dining table of Koreans for over 70 years. Even if the times change, the thought that has been handed down will not change. Korean food culture continues to fascinate us. There are four branches in the city: "Narita Main Branch", "Daimon Branch", "Ozone Branch", and "Imaike Branch", so be sure to visit the nearest branch.
