Shin Ramyun started selling in Korea in 1986.
It is the most sold ramen in Korea and the most popular ramen among Koreans, which has been ranked No. 1 in sales for a long time.
Shin Ramyun holds about 15 percent of the Korean instant noodle market.
Taste of Shin Ramyun
Shin means spicy.
When Shin Ramyun was first released, there was no spicy taste in Korean ramen.
It gained popularity due to its spicy taste, and now it has the right spicy taste that Koreans like.
These days, there are more spicy ramen than Shin Ramyun.
The spicy taste of Shin Ramyun is also a standard for comparing the level of spiciness of food in general restaurants.
If a restaurant says a dish is spicy, it’s common to ask whether it’s spicier than Shin Ramyun, or how much spicier it is.
For your information, the version of Shin Ramyun sold overseas isn’t as spicy as the one sold in Korea.
While traveling abroad, I’ve tried the local version of Shin Ramyun, but I couldn’t really taste the spiciness I expected.
Composition of Shin Ramyun
When I usually buy Shin Ramyun, I buy a pack with 5 pieces like this.
Buying a 5-pack is a little cheaper per piece than buying individually, and it means I always have some on hand.
Prices vary by store and promotion, but Shin Ramyun is generally one of the more affordable ramyun options in Korea — expect prices to have risen somewhat with inflation, so check current listings for exact figures.
The unique design of Shin Ramyun, the word Shin, is written in large letters.
Shin Ramyun Black is the same design, but the background color is black.
The back is marked on how to cook and the ingredients.
It contains round noodles, dried soup with vegetables, and powder soup.
What Shin Ramyun Means to Koreans
Ramen is the easiest food to eat in Korea.
It is a food that can be made really easily when you can’t prepare and eat food, when you can’t think of the food you want to eat, and when you don’t have time.
If I add eggs and cut it, I can say that it’s enough food for one rice.
Korea’s ramyun market is very competitive.
In addition to Shin Ramyun, Jin Ramen and Ansungtangmyun are also very popular.
Shin Ramyun will have to keep innovating to stay on top.
I know that Shin Ramyun is now popular abroad.
If you want to try Korean ramyun, I’d recommend starting with Shin Ramyun.
If you’re worried about the spicy taste of Shin Ramyun, Shin Ramyun Black may be a better choice.
