Nagasaki Champon a Hit in South Korea
The Nishinippon Shimbun reports that Nagasaki champon, a noodle soup with pork broth, has become very popular in South Korea this year, with one twist — they’ve added hot peppers to the basic recipe. There’s also been an increase in Japanese-style taverns in Busan that have the dish on their menu. A spokesman for a company that sells an instant version of the soup says they sell all they can make. One product had sold 14 million units of the meal from the end of July to October.
