Imsil-gun Extends Pre-Registration Period for Kimjang Festival

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, announced on the 31st that it will extend the pre-registration period for the 7th Imsil Asak-Asak Kimchi Making Festival until the 14th of next month.

Hosted by Imsil-gun and the agricultural corporation Imsil & Yangnyeom Co., Ltd., this Kimchi Making Festival accepts pre-registrations via phone and website, and is conducted in a non-face-to-face manner through delivery and on-site pickup (drive-thru).

The product price is 182,000 KRW (including delivery fee) for a set of salted napa cabbage (20kg) and seasoning (10kg). If picked up directly on-site via drive-thru at Imsil & Yangnyeom Co., Ltd., the price is 175,000 KRW excluding the delivery fee.

Those who pre-register can receive their orders via on-site pickup (drive-thru) or delivery on their preferred date from the 4th of next month until December 3rd.

The quantity prepared for the Kimchi Making Festival will be sold at the original price regardless of the rising vegetable prices. Therefore, consumers wishing to participate are advised to apply promptly.

Once the secured quantity is sold out, no further applications will be accepted.

The Imsil Asak-Asak Kimchi Making Festival has gained recognition for its taste and quality, and since its first year in 2016, word of mouth has led to a significant increase in applicants every year.

It provides fresh kimchi sets made with high-quality napa cabbage, red pepper powder, and agricultural products produced in clean Imsil, earning high trust and favorable reviews from consumers.

Last year, a total of 90 tons were sold, recording high sales of 450 million KRW.

This year, the county has secured 100 tons of product to sell salted napa cabbage and seasoning boasting the best quality.

The Kimchi Making Festival is highly rated as a kimchi festival with high consumer satisfaction because, amid the trend of avoiding kimchi making, consumers only need to apply for salted napa cabbage and seasoning and mix it at home.

Every year around this time, families worried about kimchi making can easily prepare kimchi, which has led to increasing sales year after year.

County Governor Shim Min said, “We have done our best to ensure that consumers can trust and safely enjoy agricultural products such as napa cabbage and red peppers grown locally,” and added, “We ask for your great interest in the Kimchi Making Festival, which boasts the best quality.”

Orders for kimchi sets can be made by applying via phone or website of the Imsil & Yangnyeom Village Project Group.
