[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Galleria Department Store announced on the 2nd that it will launch two new home meal replacement (HMR) products under its premium food private brand (PB) 'Gourmet 494' on the 3rd: 'Crab Meat Coconut Curry Sauce' and 'Hay Rice.'

Galleria stated that it decided to release new sauce products based on the fact that sauces were the most preferred among the previously launched Gourmet 494 HMR products. Last year, sales of five major Gourmet 494 HMR sauces?▲Chicken Makhani Curry ▲Beef Curry ▲Chinese Jajang ▲Uni Jajang ▲Ragu Sauce?accounted for 89% of total HMR sales.

The Gourmet 494 Crab Meat Coconut Curry uses 10% domestically sourced red crab meat, offering a rich crab flavor in a Southeast Asian-style curry. It features a savory taste enhanced by coconut milk and eggs. The Gourmet 494 Hay Rice is a Japanese-style hayashi rice made with demi-glace sauce, tender beef, and button mushrooms. It has a sweet and mild flavor that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and pairs well with omelets, cutlets, and more.

Meanwhile, Galleria's Gourmet 494 PB sales grew approximately 34% from January to May this year compared to the same period last year, with HMR sales increasing by 47%. Galleria explained that this growth is due to the launch of new products reflecting customer demands, expanded repurchases driven by positive customer responses, and increased HMR demand amid the spread of the 'stay-at-home' culture.

A Galleria representative said, "Following the launch of nine new HMR products last year, we are adding two more this year, bringing the total cumulative HMR lineup to 23 items, expanding both the number of products and categories. We will continue to introduce differentiated products that leverage Gourmet 494's unique premium competitiveness."
