Deobanchan&, Bib Gourmand Selected Restaurant 'Ilhosik' Launches 5 Types of RMR

Deobanchan& announced on the 17th that it will launch five types of restaurant-style ready meals from 'Ilhosik'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Dongwon Home Food announced on the 17th that its online grocery market ‘The Banchan&’ has launched five types of restaurant meal kits (RMR) from the famous restaurant ‘Ilhosik,’ which was selected for the Michelin Guide’s ‘Bib Gourmand.’

The Michelin Guide annually selects ‘Bib Gourmand,’ which refers to restaurants that offer quality food at reasonable prices. Restaurants selected for the ‘Bib Gourmand’ feature menus priced on average below 45,000 KRW per serving, making them known as cost-effective dining options among Michelin Guide selections.

Located in Hannam-dong, Seoul, ‘Ilhosik’ means ‘good meals eaten daily’ and offers healthy Korean set meals made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients. It was selected for the ‘Bib Gourmand’ in 2018, 2020, and 2021, gaining popularity as a famous restaurant on various social networking services (SNS).

The Banchan& developed the RMR menu by directly receiving recipes embodying Ilhosik’s food philosophy. From ingredient preparation to manufacturing, all processes are cooked directly to allow customers to easily enjoy the taste made in the store at home. The Banchan& follows the principle of delivering home-cooked quality by having about 30 chefs and 100 cooks carefully prepare meals by hand at the DSCK Center (Dongwon Cooking Center), which is HACCP certified.

The Ilhosik RMR products introduced by The Banchan& this time include four items: ▲Thick Tteokgalbi with wrap vegetables ▲Octopus Potato Perilla Seed Salad ▲Snail Soybean Paste with Gondre Seasoned Side Dish ▲Perilla Oil Mustard Leaf Pickle, plus a ‘Ilhosik 2-Person Sobanset’ set combining these into a full table, totaling five products.

A representative of The Banchan& said, “Recently, as outdoor activities have been limited, RMR products that allow enjoying the taste of dining out at home are gaining attention. We will continue to strive to provide unique gourmet experiences with products using recipes from hotel restaurants, regional traditional eateries, and various other dining establishments.”

Meanwhile, The Banchan& is running a promotion until the 5th of next month, offering a 15% discount coupon (to 30 customers) and free shipping coupons (to 50 customers) via a draw for customers who purchase any Ilhosik RMR product. Customers who purchase the ‘Ilhosik 2-Person Sobanset’ will be entered into a draw to receive an Ilhosik meal container and wooden soban set (20 customers).
