Emart Launches Octopus Sushi and Tempura... 20% Discount Sale

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Emart announced on the 14th that it will hold a promotion offering a 20% discount when purchasing six new products, including sushi and fried dishes made with domestic octopus, using event cards until the 21st.

Representative products include ‘Octopus Sushi’, ‘Octopus & Fresh Salmon Sushi’, ‘Octopus Karaage’, and ‘Octopus & Tenderloin Tenders’. These feature the sweet and chewy characteristics of domestic octopus.

Instead of using frozen processed fish meat, the octopus is frozen immediately after being caught and then thawed and portioned at the production site according to each store's order volume before being delivered to each store, preserving the unique taste and freshness of domestic octopus. Additionally, raw materials were stocked whenever the market price was low, securing a total of 10 tons of octopus caught in the southern coast areas such as Tongyeong in advance.

Previously, Emart planned and sold products such as cherry salmon sushi from February to April and sea bass sushi from May to September. In November, it plans to introduce shellfish sushi using seasonal domestic fresh ark shell and pen shell.

An Emart official said, “As home dining becomes more common, the number of customers seeking Emart’s ready-to-eat products is increasing. This year, we are focusing on developing various new products for each season. As part of this effort, we are launching new products such as sushi made with domestic octopus.”
