Galleria百 Launches 6 New Products of Premium PB 'Gourmet 494'

Galleria Department Store's premium PB brand ‘Gourmet 494’ announced on the 22nd that it will launch six new products.

The six products include Galbitang, Galbijjim, Hwangtae Haejang-guk, Korean Beef Radish Soup, Gangjin Maekwoo 1++ Beef Jerky, and Gimjaban. This time, to better preserve the original taste and texture of the raw ingredients, two new frozen HMR products (Galbitang and Galbijjim) are introduced. The shelf-stable HMR products, which have consistently received positive customer feedback, have also been expanded.

The new frozen HMR product ‘Gourmet 494 Galbitang’ was developed in collaboration with ‘Hanwadam,’ a beef specialty restaurant in Hannam-dong. It features a light broth and uses top-choice grade Black Angus short ribs. The ‘Gourmet 494 Galbijjim’ also uses top-choice Black Angus short ribs, characterized by large, thick rib meat along with rich ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, shishito peppers, and small rice cakes. Prices are 15,900 KRW for 1kg of Galbitang and 38,000 KRW for 1kg of Galbijjim.

Two new shelf-stable HMR soup products are also introduced. ‘Hwangtae Haejang-guk’ is made by stir-frying dried pollack from Yongdae-ri, Inje, in perilla oil before boiling, resulting in a milky and light flavor. ‘Korean Beef Radish Soup’ uses Korean beef shank, offering a tender texture and a rich flavor without the use of green onions or bean sprouts, minimizing any off-flavors. Prices are 5,800 KRW for 500g of Hwangtae Haejang-guk and 6,500 KRW for 500g of Korean Beef Radish Soup.

Gift PB products suitable for holiday gifts and return gifts are also being strengthened. The ‘Gangjin Maekwoo 1++ Beef Jerky,’ made exclusively for Galleria using Gangjin Maekwoo Korean beef, is a premium jerky made from 1++ grade Korean beef. It uses the round cut of Gangjin Maekwoo and traditional food artisans’ syrup and plum extract to maximize the meat aroma. Notably, it contains no coloring agents, dyes, or synthetic preservatives (potassium sorbate), making it healthy and safe. The set includes six pieces (80g x 6), priced at 230,000 KRW.

The premium ‘Gimjaban’ gift PB product uses Haenam-gun’s first certified organic aquaculture seaweed. The seaweed is farmed on racks, exposed to ample sunlight, resulting in high density and a savory taste. After the first roasting, it is aged for a week at temperatures below 10°C, then roasted a second time to enhance the seaweed’s unique flavor and umami. The oil used is domestic brown rice oil, not imported. The price is 9,500 KRW per 100g.

A representative from Hanwha Galleria said, “Positive reviews on the taste and quality of Gourmet 494 PB continue, leading to steady repurchases by customers,” and added, “We will continue to introduce premium PB products made with healthy ingredients.”
