Seven-Eleven's Exciting Launch of Korean Gourmet Delicacies
On May 20, 2023, Seven-Eleven Japan, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, held an event to unveil its latest offering: the "Mashisso! Top Korean Delicacies." This promotion will kick off nationwide on May 27, featuring an extensive lineup of over 30 delicious items. The event was graced by the popular YouTube duo Paparapiiz, who actively engaged the audience by sharing their insights and tasting recommendations for the new menu.
Welcoming Paparapiiz
During the event, the charismatic duo, Jinjins and Tanakaga, took to the stage for a lively talk session. Both are celebrated influencers, with a following that exceeds 1.78 million subscribers on YouTube. They showcased some of their favorite dishes from the new lineup, offering candid and entertaining commentary that resonated with the audience.
Jinjins, who sampled the "Supple Gui Chicken Bowl," exclaimed, "The chicken is huge and tender! The sweet and spicy sauce is delightful — it pairs perfectly with the rice!" This dish, meanwhile, showcases juicy grilled chicken seasoned with a special spicy sauce and topped with chewy tteokbokki.
Tanakaga, a fan of cold noodles, shared his raving review of the "Bibin Cold Noodles": "The noodles are thick and have a wonderful chewy texture! The mild spiciness pairs well with the gochujang, making it simply delicious!" His love for cold noodles certainly set the mood as the pair discussed their passion for Korean cuisine and shared recent trends in Korean food content.
Korean Cuisine in the Spotlight
The palpable excitement around Korean food today was highlighted during their discussion. As they noted, "Many viewers engage deeply with our Korean food content, and we’ve learned a lot from influencers who are posting about Korean cuisine too. There's a collaborative spirit where everyone is sharing and discovering together!"
Their infectious enthusiasm for Korean cooking and culture clearly made the event even more engaging and enjoyable, reflecting the unique charm of both stars.
