Lee Ji-hye compares 11 types of delivery kimchi... Exclaims "This is it" at the taste of Hong Jin-kyung's Seokbakji

Broadcaster Lee Ji-hye took time to compare and taste delivery kimchi restaurants that she personally selected with great care. Through her YouTube channel 'Mipji Aneun Gwanjong Eonni', Lee Ji-hye revealed the process of testing kimchi restaurants prepared to coincide with the end of August, when homemade kimchi supplies run low.

Testing 11 types of kimchi with meticulous reviews... From Seokbakji to Geotjeori

For this project, Lee Ji-hye prepared various types of kimchi based on SNS reviews and ratings. In the video, Lee Ji-hye compared the tastes of several varieties, including Seokbakji, cabbage kimchi, young radish kimchi, green onion kimchi, and white kimchi. During the tasting process, Lee Jong-im Seokbakji, Hana Kimchi Seokbakji, bibigo Seokbakji, Josun Hotel Kimchi, Mudeungsan Kimchi, Hakgajang Kimchi, Hansanggung Spicy Kimchi, Yujeongnim Young Radish Kimchi, and Hong Jin-kyung Kimchi appeared.

Lee Ji-hye mentioned the texture of 'Cheongsura radish' as one of her criteria for choosing Seokbakji, stating that she prefers a crunchy and chewy taste. Regarding the Hana Kimchi Seokbakji during the tasting, she commented, "It has a sweet taste that children would likely enjoy," and regarding the Hansanggung Spicy Geotjeori, she mentioned the spiciness, saying, "It feels like Silbi Kimchi." Additionally, regarding Mudeungsan Kimchi, she evaluated the taste, saying, "It is neither too spicy nor too salty."

"Feels like being at a kimchi buffet"... Confirming diverse taste differences by product

Having tasted various kimchis all at once, Lee Ji-hye shared her rich tasting experience, saying, "It feels like being at a kimchi buffet." The taste characteristics of each product were distinct. Regarding Josun Hotel Kimchi, she mentioned, "The seasoning is strong," and suggested that the taste of aged kimchi (mukeunji) could be polarizing depending on personal preference.

Lee Ji-hye expressed joy in the process of tasting various states of kimchi, such as aged kimchi and freshly made geotjeori, saying, "It is fascinating how each kimchi is slightly different and there are differences in preference." In particular, products like Hakgajang Kimchi and Hongsaeng Kimchi were mentioned as products that give the feeling of being freshly made.

Hong Jin-kyung's Seokbakji appears... Reproducing the taste of Cheongsura radish

In the latter half of the video, Hong Jin-kyung's Seokbakji, which Lee Ji-hye mentioned she usually likes, drew attention. Lee Ji-hye had previously mentioned that Hong Jin-kyung's Seokbakji is made with Cheongsura radish and is very delicious, but is currently unavailable. However, in the video, she was able to taste it because Hong Jin-kyung sent her the remaining Seokbakji.

Regarding Hong Jin-kyung's Seokbakji, which had been made in March and was somewhat aged, Lee Ji-hye expressed her satisfaction, saying, "This is it." In particular, she confirmed the taste of the well-aged Seokbakji while mentioning the unique crunchy texture of the Cheongsura radish. Lee Ji-hye continued the tasting, confirming that the white kimchi also had a suitable taste after being left for about half a day.
