The Most Expensive Country In The World For Bread: South Korea

“I don’t know why bread is so pricey in Korea” “Bread seems like a fancy food.” These are what my foreign friends said to me. It’s actually true that the cost of bread is really expensive in South Korea compared to other countries. According to Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), generally Koreans have to pay $15.99 for a 1kg loaf of bread in Seoul. That’s a lot higher than New York where it has been second-ranked with $8.33. This is about twice as much. Usually, you can have some nice meal in a Korean restaurant for $6. Bakery in Korea, however, it has already exceeded $10 if you choose 3-4 breads. Then, what’s the reason? Why is the bread super pricey in South Korea?


Among Koreans there are a lot of opinions about cost of bread. So first, Koreans rely on imported ingredients such as sugar, flour and butter which are main ingredients of bread. That means it can’t help that the price of bread is too high. Some Korean understand the reason of high price, but they still think it’s not reasonable enough and it’s way too expensive. Another reason is the wrong distribution structure. Leaving these reasons behind, I think there is a big reason for being expensive. It's because bread is sold even if it’s too pricey in Korea. People pay the price, so the bread is being sold steadily and the price keeps rising more and more. Probably this is the realistic reason of the pricey bread price.

Pojangmacha : A Unique Orange Tent Bar

  A Pojangmacha street in Busan, South Korea Pojangmacha where you should definitely go in South Korea. This orange color tent bar is a tiny street restaurant which is based on small tents or street vendors. There are lots of street food such as tteokbokki, oden, gimbap, even anju which is Korean food consumed with Soju (Korean alcohol). Since long time ago, Korean workers go to pojangmacha to drink some alcohol with their co-workers or friends after getting off from work. Koreans feel that they can get release their stress as drinking soju with anju and talking honest stories that they couldn’t tell. If you like watching some K-drama, you might have seen pojangmacha scene at least once. One sad thing is that perception of pojangmacha seems a little different from the past. For instance, all the street food used to be really cheap like $1~5 per dish before, so people usually went to pojangmacha to enjoy their time without any burden of cost. However, these days some pojanmacha ar...

  Shamar Wasabia Allyl Beauty Soap Do you remember that I’ve posted about Shamar Wasabia Allyl Beauty Soap  before? Actually, I’ve been using this soap (Lavender scent) for 2 weeks and I’m very satisfied so far. Therefore, today I’m going to review about this wasabi soap as a reviewer. Well-packed natural soap First, I love their packaging. It looks simple that the soap is wrapped, but it's a way to protect your soaps and keep them clean. Natural ingredients based soap Second, this wasabi bar soap basically has deep moisturizing effect. It's because of natural ingredients based (Tocophenol, hyaluronic acid, and etc.)   soap. Well, I have a dry skin type which makes me really annoying. Even worse in winter. However, since I started to use this soap, It never leaves my skin feeling dry. Also, I used to have pretty much dead skin cells which also cause a dull skin tone, but these days I feel my skin tone got brighter and it’s also easy to put on makeup better. I mean, my sk...
