Rating:

This Korean canned tuna is infused with a spicy sauce made from chili, gochujang (fermented chili paste), tomato, and other Korean seasonings, giving it a unique blend of sweet, savory, and spicy elements. It's enhanced with chunks of potato and carrot, making it more notable than traditional canned tuna options that we have in the market today. It's easily available through online retailers like Amazon or Asian supermarkets for those seeking to try it. If there is a Korean store in your area, they might have this product for sure.

I am glad I stopped at one of the Korean stores in Shin-Okubo area last weekend and found this product on one of their shelves. I was just planning to buy Korean noodles and luncheon meat, but this one caught my eye. I also saw a couple of people buying this so I thought it was a good decision to try it. I appreciate how the tuna can be eaten straight from the can or served over rice. I think you can use it as an ingredient in sandwiches, tuna melts, or salads​ too. The only thing I want them to improve is probably release a much bigger canned tuna. I hope they will introduce that in the future.
