'Yukgaejang Cup' with 20% Increased Total Weight, a Hearty Meal

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Ottogi has contributed to the advancement of the domestic food industry and the development of the food sector by producing safe and reliable products to pursue human health and happiness through food. Starting with curry, its founding product in 1969, Ottogi has led the modernization of food culture by launching products such as soup, ketchup, mayonnaise, retort pouch foods, plant-based margarine, and ramen.

Through continuous development of top-tier technology, Ottogi has expanded beyond seasoning foods, traditional foods, and food ingredients into staple food industries including ramen, instant rice, cup rice, dumplings, frozen foods, frozen bread, and desserts. As a result of relentless efforts driven by a pioneering spirit and a commitment to quality, Ottogi has achieved steady growth, surpassing 10 billion KRW in sales in 1979, 100 billion KRW in 1988, 1 trillion KRW in 2007, and 2 trillion KRW in 2017.

In particular, Ottogi holds the largest number of market-leading products among domestic food companies. Reflecting consumers’ demand for more generous and cost-effective products, Ottogi dramatically renewed its hearty and delicious ‘Yukgaejang Cup’ in May last year. The renewed Yukgaejang Cup increased the total weight of noodles and ingredients by 20% compared to the previous product, allowing consumers to enjoy a bowl of ramen that looks full and satisfying just as shown on the packaging after cooking and opening. This new Yukgaejang Cup offers a fulfilling meal with just the ramen itself, unlike before when the portion was insufficient and required side dishes like gimbap to accompany it.
