Ollebadang, a corporation specializing in English combinations, will showcase the 'Jeju sweet shrimp ramen' at the Companion Festival. The ramen features a deep broth flavor well blended with the aroma of sweet shrimp, which is steamed, dried, and ground from carefully selected clean Jeju sweet shrimp.
There are two types: 'Black,' which has a rich flavor and umami due to the inclusion of fermented soybean paste, and 'Red,' which features a refreshing and spicy taste using roasted chili. They are manufactured cleanly in a factory certified by the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, allowing for trusted consumption.
The 'May Companion Festival' will take place from May 1 to May 30. The Companion Festival is a national consumption promotion event participated in by the government, major private distribution channels, traditional markets, and shopping districts. It is hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and organized by the Korea Small and Medium Enterprises and Startups Agency.
During the May Companion Festival, products from over 23,000 small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners will be sold across a total of 129 channels, including major private distribution platforms like Naver and Coupang. Live commerce and dedicated exhibitions to promote sales, as well as large-scale discount events, will also be conducted. Various offline sales events linked to local festivals and sales promotions will be held to revitalize the local economy.
The May Companion Festival is expected to provide opportunities for increased sales for small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners in a situation where the domestic market is stagnant due to prolonged economic downturns. In particular, a variety of products from small and medium-sized enterprises suitable for family outings can be found during the family month of May.
Exachips Technology will sell the 'K.O. Bok Makgeolli Kit.' Makgeolli, which means 'unrefined alcohol,' is a traditional liquor and has the longest history among alcoholic beverages in Korea.
Exachips Technology sells ingredients that can capture both taste and nutrition in the makgeolli. The K.O. Bok Makgeolli Kit includes three flavors of makgeolli containing whole grain brown rice, Jeju tangerines, and Cheongju bokbunja. Each flavor is characterized by a sweet and clean taste that smoothly transitions with the taste of the materials and supplies.
Sous Vide Food Solutions presents the 'Flank Steak Sous Vide' which can be easily cooked and consumed outdoors. The sous vide method is characterized by cooking ingredients in warm water at low temperatures for an extended period, resulting in a tender texture. To make a delicious steak, no additives besides rosemary, thyme, pepper, salt, olive oil, and meat are included. By heating oil in a pan and grilling for about 2 minutes, the steak can be enjoyed easily.
Ajirang offers the 'Reverse Temperature Control Thermos,' which is essential for outings. The temperature control thermos utilizes patented smart temperature control technology to keep water at the set temperature without cooling it. It can be adjusted in 5-degree increments between 40 and 95 degrees to suit its purpose. Particularly, the part that comes into contact with water passes safety inspections for food-grade precision, allowing for safe use.
