Relax. Everybody does not know that fact. I'm sure the majority of people who enjoy sushi and gimbap know the difference but it's not super common knowledge to people who generally don't give a shit.
The "Korean Sushi" doesn't taste anything like Japanese Sushi, or to be more precise, what you saw is Korean Kimbap (literal translation: Seaweed Rice / Kim = Seaweed / Bap = Rice) and it's nothing like Japanese Maki. The rice rolled up in a kimbap is seasoned differently from the rice in a sushi roll. Also, kimbap tends to have sesame oil glazed over the seaweed, which can make it a little oily and shiny, and that of course, also affects how it tastes. The ingredients wrapped in a sushi roll is also different from what is wrapped inside a kimbap. They may look alike, but are actually very different.
@@libo8316 China has seaweed rice rolls too? Which part of China? I only know Chinese food has spring rolls, but those are not wrapped with seaweed and usually have no rice inside, so I'm not sure what you are talking about. Maybe you can tell me more?
It's like Pizza, Pasta, Curry rice, Sauce etc.. all evolved around the localization and became slightly to completely different. For examples, chilly sauce of China, Korea, Mexico, Spain, Thailand etc.. all different and Soy sauce is also all different too. One most popular & widely available soy sauce is heavily Japanized ones especially dark colored ones, but Koreanized soy sauce (we called it Choson soy sauce or Mongo Soy sauce - Korea has two main varieties of localized soy sauce - one with more clear soy sauce (not dark colored) is Choson soy sauce and Mongo soy sauce is said to be introduced by the Mongol to Korea - Some Korean thinks it's Chinese style. And Jin Soy sauce introduced to Korea which was originally Japanese company that made soy sauce in Korea during 1920s~1940s then when Japanese left Korea, the soy sauce factory got taken over by the locals then started making Jin soy sauce (which is just Japanized dark colored soy sauce). Many breads to sweet makers of Korea are started by Zainichi Koreans from Japan which brought Japanized sweets and biscuits & sweet breads.
9:21 It's not korean sushi, it's just kimbap(gimbap). Gimbap has a sesame oil flavor and Japanese norimaki(nori sushi) has a vinegar flavor, so they have a completely different taste. The ingredients in kimbap are also a bit different from norimaki. For Koreans, kimbap is a food reminiscent of their student days. You can never forget the kimbap your mother made for you early in the morning on the day of the picnic. 90% of the picnic lunches brought by elementary school students are kimbap.
I wanna visit korea one day , I started watching kdramas in 2014 and been listening to kpop for a very long time as well. I heard they give fruits as gifts there because is so expensive being brazilian where we can get fruits for free in the streets I was surprised by the cultural difference. I don't think I could eat the octopus though.
Persimmons are very popular in China too, where they have been cultivated for over 2000 years with many varieties. Dried ones are also very popular. I personally prefer eating the fresh ones. They are delicious!
The main difference between Korean Kimbap and Japanese Sushi in my opinion are the ingredients. Kimbap mostly has cooked and seasoned veggies, some kind of cooked meat and the rice is seasoned with salt and sesame oil along with toasted sesame seeds. Sushi rice is seasoned with sugar and rice vinegar and mostly has raw fish. In a nutshell, if you can't stomach raw fish and want a more savory veggies filled meal, then go for Korean Kimbap.
Can't believe you changed the country already.... You are such influencers that, for the first time I never felt so influenced since I NEED to go to China even though I never thought about it. Xoxo from a Brazilian living in Australia Xxx to all the international fallas
Prices at the supermarket is quite expensive in Seoul. But you can go out and eat for really cheap. Not at the most touristy places like Myeoungdong. But in more local places you can have a full dinner for 5000-10000 won. So it can be really cheap to eat out there. Also if you go to the local markets you can buy fruite and vegetables, meat and fish and also banchan (sidedishes) for cheaper. Much cheaper. By the way. Hite, Cass, Terra is korean beer brands. You can buy them for cheap at your local supermarket. Sometimes 2 for 1.
I also tried them a few times in Romania. Wasn't very impressed, relatively boring, bland fruit. But I bet it's much better when it's grown properly, in it's natural environment
The posh marbled beef is 'Hanwoo' - Korean high end beef. Their fruit prices are horrific - they can't be like that outside of Seoul, in poorer or country areas, no-one would eat any!
I find Lotte supermarket normally higher in price and good for tourists as they're into details for those who need to pack and fly. Luv stopping there b4 boarding.
I went there like 10 years ago. Massive choices, a lot of surprising items! But! The price is a little bit “not quite friendly”, compared to that in NZ and China.
I'm Korean living in Seoul, starting In Romania I have been watching your videos. Welcome! So you finally visited my mother land. I hope you two have a good time in Korea, I will enjoy your videos as always.
It’s not without reason that prices are high in South Korea. The land area is small and supplies are scarce. The products they produce cannot meet their needs at all, so many of them are imported.
They are not on the same economic level...South Korea gdp per capita for 2024 is $34,653👏 and Japan gdp per capita for 2024 is $34,555... China gdp per capita for 2024 is $13,156😂
@@hehedjeh5865 The Chinese government keeps Food stuff & Produce price low with 1 % inflation so vast majority population can afford buying groceries.. In Korean & Japan ordinary people couldn't afford to buy fresh fruits and vegetables whereas China can buy almost anything with lots of choices with low prices....PPP is irrelevant..Chinese can buy 60" lcd TV for $ 60 usd whereas a same brand tv in the US or Japan may cost $ 500 + tax...The reason is we produced most industrial goods.
Based on the real-time information, the average salary of a Korean living in Seoul is approximately 3,890,000 KRW per month. Converting this amount to USD, it would be approximately 2,917.34 USD.
Hello, I dropped by your channel & I subscribed to your channel, love your video about the Muslim town in China.😊 This looks like a great grocery trip in Korea. 👍
All thanks to Justin Turdo for our economy in Canada lol Korean sushi is called: Hwae = 회 ...and if you guys want to experience REAL Korean food, hit up a youtuber: Eating what is given He knows way more than an average Korean when it comes to traditional Korean food.
Japanese Wagyu is greasy because it has more marbling, and Korean Korean beef is made from cows and steers, and is raised exclusively for meat, and efforts are made to nurture, manage, and quality grade, so it cannot be compared to Japanese beef. Even foreign professional chefs who have tried it recognize it as the best.
'Persimmon/Kaki/Sharon' is probably my favourite fruit, ripe ones are just heavenly. Perhaps surprisingly, you can find them in almost any store in Sweden, at least in season.
Looks like you were there during or in/around seollal, Korean new year where prices are jacked up on fruits especially, those boxed ones at the beginning are those special occasion type premium boxed sets
I'd like to come up with a little science about sushi. First of all, unlike the Japanese sushi you know, sushi is based on a preserved food from China called "鲊/鮨(Pronounced sushi in Japanese)" (that's just the origin of the food's development, which is very different nowadays). The key to this type of preserved food is to wrap meat (mainly fish in the beginning) in rice to ferment it and produce lactic acid, thus increasing its shelf life. In the case of Japanese sushi, this was mainly reflected in the fish ingredients and the sour, vinegared rice. The emergence of modern Japanese sushi coincided with the birth of the sushi roll, both of which were invented as forms of fast food during the Edo period. Sushi rolls were introduced to the Korean Peninsula one hundred year ago, where they were modified and became called "kimbap". When sushi rolls came to the US, Americans simply called them sushi too and invented the California roll, which is wrapped in avocado and topped with ketchup or mayonnaise.
In South Korea, fruits and vegetables are very expensive. Just imagine, it's the only country in the world that uses corn cob (without the corn) as food.
Persimmons....oh l love them...both fresh and the dried ones...my favourite 😋 Another interesting and wonderful supermarket tour in Seoul, Korea. Thanks for taking us along. Best regards, stay safe and stay healthy, Steve lvana.
Persimmons are a lot more common and popular in China. I think most of the world's persimmons are from China. I'm surprised you didn't come across them in Xi'an.
Because South Korea is a developed country.🙂 South Korea gdp per capita for 2024 is $34,653👏 and Japan gdp per capita for 2024 is $34,555... China gdp per capita for 2024 is $13,156😂
해외 물가에 비하면 안오른거임 단지 과일값이 몇년전부터 유독 미친듯이 오른건데 그건 물량을 풀거나 해외 수입을 해오면 될일인데 그렇게 절대 안하죠 아니 못하죠 흔히들 하는말... 우리 농수산 지키느라고 온국민이 희생 하는거죠 그런데 다 좋은데 우리나라 과일이 국제 과일 박람회 같은거 나가는 꼴을 못봤음 정부에 그렇게 보상을 받으면 과일 야채 질 향상에 게이름이 없어야 돼는데 전국민 희생만을 강요한 결과가 맛도 드릅게 없는 과일을 비싼돈 주고 사먹어야 하는거임
grocery in korea is getting out of hand, no wonder koreans fly to china to get cheap groceries. i live in the US, chicken legs are usually 1 dollar per pound, premium beef is 11-20 dollars a pound, fruits are way cheaper too, i bought a box of korean 3-pound dried persimmons from chinese grocery store for $14.
Persimmon is native to China, Northeast India and northern Indochina. It was first cultivated in China more than 2,000 years ago, and introduced to Japan in the 7th century and to Korea in the 14th century. Food is probably cheaper in China. Food in Japan is probably more expensive than Korean food. I don't remember if you went to the Supermarket in China. The supermarket in Shenzhen are pretty nice. One of the biggest and nicest is Pangdonglai market in China. I think they are several stores. One of them is in Shanghai. It is the entire shopping mall. Japan created the modern sushi. But the origin of raw food was probably from SE Asia and China adopted by Japan. Korea was once colonized by Japan. So they adopt sushi too.
