November – Korean Harvest Flavourfest: A Chuseok Celebration

November’s Oisoy box is here, and it’s bursting with flavours inspired by Chuseok, Korea’s annual harvest festival. Chuseok, often called “Korean Thanksgiving,” is a time for families to come together, give thanks for the year’s harvest, and enjoy traditional foods that highlight Korea’s rich culinary heritage.

In this month’s box, we’ve curated a selection of snacks that capture the essence of this vibrant festival. From sweet rice cakes to savory delights, every item is a tribute to the flavours of fall and the spirit of sharing that defines Chuseok.

What is Chuseok?

Chuseok is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, usually in September or October but in 2024 it falls in November. It’s a time when Koreans honour their ancestors, visit their hometowns, and indulge in festive foods. One of the most iconic dishes is songpyeon, a sweet rice cake filled with ingredients like sesame seeds or red bean paste, symbolizing gratitude and abundance.

While we couldn’t send fresh songpyeon across the miles, our November box includes snacks that reflect the same comforting and nostalgic flavours of this cherished holiday.

Inside the November Box

Here’s a sneak peek at the delicious treats you’ll find in this month’s Korean Harvest Flavourfest:

1. Poppin Cookin Sushi Kit

The **Poppin’ Cookin’ Sushi Kit** is a fun, DIY candy-making set that lets you create realistic-looking sushi entirely from sweet, edible components. Using colorful powders and water, you can mold “rice,” “fish,” and even “soy sauce,” turning the experience into a playful, hands-on culinary adventure. Perfect for kids and adults, it’s a delightful mix of creativity and deliciousness!

2. Mogu Mogu Mango Drink

Mogu Mogu Mango Drink is a tropical, refreshing beverage packed with real nata de coco bits, offering a unique blend of juicy mango flavor and chewy texture.

3. IMEI Wafer Rolls

IMEI Wafer Rolls are delightfully crispy, cream-filled treats that combine a light, flaky texture with irresistibly smooth flavors, perfect for any snack moment.

4. Nissin Tonkotsu Ramen

Nissin Tonkotsu Ramen offers a rich and creamy pork bone broth paired with perfectly chewy noodles, delivering comfort food in every bite.

5. Orion Churro Turtle Chips

A delightfully crunchy, multi-layered snack with a sweet cinnamon flavor that perfectly mimics the taste of freshly baked churros.

A traditional Korean health food transformed into a delightful candy. Ginseng is known for its warming properties, making it an ideal snack for the colder months.

6. Crispy Seaweed Snacks

Crispy and savoury, these seaweed sheets are seasoned to perfection. A staple in Korean households, they’re great on their own or paired with a bowl of steaming rice.
