Korea’s retail giant Homeplus launched an expanded line of sushi, which will sell for 390 won (30 cents) each until April 6.
Homeplus announced Wednesday that it built on their existing sushi line “Chef Sushi,” which was originally limited to 16 types, to 34 variations. These bite-sized delicacies include localized specialties such as tuna-mayonnaise and beef bulgogi sushi, which will cater to the tastes of children and customers who seek something other than seafood on their sushi rice.
Homeplus’ Convenient Cooking Team manager Heo Na-young said, “We have seen a rise in demand for sushi at our branches due to the overall improvements in retail sushi qualities and the effects of recession.”
Heo said Homeplus will continue to expand the selection of sushi provided by the retail shop to meet customers’ needs and wants. Chef Sushi will maintain an affordable price range after the promotional period ends.
Homeplus also sells 8,900 won ($7.7) fried chickens.
