Ramen/Korean - Samyang

January 14th, 2006 :: noodleson

Samyang Food is the oldest Ramen brand in Korea. Founded in 1924, it first made ramen in 1963. Today, it’s runned by a second-generation entrepreneur who is 3rd among the 13 in his family, his second elder brother was a former prime minister.

While not as notable as its rival Nong Shim brand here, it’s a first-class brand in Korea. We’re starting to see newer items from Samyang recently. Its ramen represent the milder side of Korean’s ramen, though some are spicy hot.
