[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] CU announced on the 11th that it will introduce a variety of anju (side dishes for alcohol) products ranging from aged flatfish sashimi to whole pork belly barbecue.

First, CU is launching three types of small-pack aged sashimi sets (flatfish, salmon, octopus) so customers can easily enjoy fresh sashimi at home. The flatfish sashimi features live fish caught from famous domestic fishing areas, aged and served with a special chili sauce made from Jeju green tangerines. The salmon sashimi set includes thickly sliced Norwegian fresh salmon paired with horseradish sauce. They also offer tender yet chewy boiled octopus sashimi.

The mussel and scallop soup is made with seasonal Masan mussels and scallops, generously filled and spiced with Cheongyang chili peppers for a refreshing kick. The portion is ample enough for 2 to 3 people and can be cooked in the microwave for 10 minutes directly in the container.

They are also launching premium Texas-style barbecue. The Texas brisket and whole pork belly feature a subtle smoky aroma, with brisket and pork belly cooked slowly at low temperatures for a long time, boasting a unique tender texture and juicy flavor that fills the mouth.

In addition, CU offers a rich variety of anju including barbecue jerk wings brushed with Jamaican jerk sauce and oven-roasted, barbecue soy drumettes smoked with teriyaki sauce, and bone stew made with domestic pork backbone.

Lee Yonggu, MD of BGF Retail HMR Team, said, “We prepared anju with professional-level quality to help customers conveniently prepare year-end home parties at home. CU will continue to introduce differentiated anju products targeting customer needs in line with market trends.”
