"Sushi and Wingbong at Home: Homeplus Launches 8 New Deli Products"

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] Homeplus announced on the 17th that it has launched 8 new premium deli products that are prepared and sold directly at stores every day.

The newly introduced ready-to-eat deli products include premium sushi, domestically sourced wing drumettes, and Red Series chicken, all freshly prepared and sold at Homeplus stores nationwide as convenient ready meals.

First, the premium sushi available at all 140 stores nationwide includes four types: ▲Premium Saengsaeng Sushi (10 pieces of fresh salmon, 11,990 KRW) ▲Premium Saengsaeng Sushi (10 pieces of fresh salmon and Jeju flatfish, 11,990 KRW) ▲Premium Saengsaeng Sushi (16 pieces of fresh salmon, flatfish, and shrimp, 15,990 KRW) ▲Premium Hanpan Shrimp Sushi (16 pieces, 12,990 KRW).

Until now, Homeplus had mainly offered individual sushi pieces as ready-to-eat products, but this is the first time they have introduced premium sushi. The net weight of the toppings (ingredients such as salmon, flatfish, and shrimp) is 10g, which is about 20-30% thicker compared to competitors’ products. They use air-freighted Norwegian Superior grade fresh salmon and Jeju flatfish, delivering a clean and savory taste with quality and hygiene all in one.

In particular, the Premium Hanpan Shrimp Sushi uses four types of shrimp known for their sweet and chewy texture: Argentine shrimp, black tiger shrimp, soy sauce marinated shrimp (ganjang saeu) which was previously only available at high-end sushi restaurants, and live shrimp, which is the largest size among sushi shrimp distributed domestically.

The wing drumettes and Red Series chicken include four types: ▲Original Wing Drumettes (20 pieces, 10,990 KRW) ▲Red Wing Drumettes (20 pieces, 10,990 KRW) ▲Red Boneless Dakgangjeong (approximately 900g, 13,990 KRW) ▲Roast Red Chicken (approximately 800g, 8,990 KRW). However, some stores such as Miryang and Yeongdo do not carry these products.

The Red Wing Drumettes, made with fresh domestic chicken, feature a red sauce based on Hongcheongyang chili peppers to create a gradually numbing and delicious spicy flavor for customers who enjoy spicy food. The Red Boneless Dakgangjeong uses nuruk karaage for a crispy texture without sogginess, and the Roast Red Chicken adds a mild spicy flavor to domestic chicken with reduced oiliness.

Kang Jeonghun, buyer of the Homeplus Deli Business Team, said, “We have launched various new ready-to-eat products including premium pack sushi for customers who have long awaited premium sushi.” He added, “We will continue to run promotions every month to establish these as new best-selling products that surpass the sales of the previously popular individual sushi pieces.”
