Please note that this thread has been explicitly rebooted to be a safe space for the discussion of the various brands of kimchi sold by Costco. Please feel free to share your thoughts but don't forget to identify the kimchi brand sold by your local Costco! Some are good (Jongga (the one with two "g"s)) and some are bad. Happy kimchi'ing everyone!

Hello moderators, I would like the Costco mega thread to be rebooted so that the various brands of kimchi sold at costco can be discussed openly and honestly

I've never had kimchi but I've always wanted to. Is Costco kimchi authentic? Has it been buried underground for a long time?

Kimchi is so good and savory
They say it's even good for you
Something about probiotics
Just eat it right out of the jar
You'll see
Get Jongga (the one with two "g"s)

This brand Nasoya is also quite good, very similar to Jongga (the one with two "g"s) but sold in smaller jars that I have not seen at Costco. Apologies if non-Costco product discussion is forbidden

kimchi itself, the path to it not becoming halal would be if they add too much sugar and alcohol forms. hansung is tested to make sure that this isn't the case, the other kimchi manufacturers don't bother

How much Jongga (the one with two "g"s) kimchi should I eat if I want to get drunk?

Loving the new packaging, let us know how the flavor is! Sometimes I find that if it gets a month or two extra in the fridge it tastes even better.

I'm in maintenance mode now/very slow continued weight loss after dropping 115 pounds and the thing I've learned from surgery and losing weight is that diet food sucks. I'd rather have a single unhealthy enchilada with the same number of calories of 3 lovely diet ones, no matter how much healthier the diet version might be.

Here's a little jingle that may help you op:

🎵🎶
Kimchi is a delicious low calorie treat
when you're trying to watch what you eat!
Try Jongga!

My Costco family, I come to you bearing grave news. I could not make it to the church yesterday and had to refill my kimchi fridge yesterday with what was available at my other local grocer.


It was not Jongga (the one with two "g"s), the brand we all love and trust. Or even Nasoya, my go-to before I discovered the glorious perfection that is Jongga.

No, it was "Cleveland Kimchi", and you guessed it folks, it fuckin blows.



Besides ostensibly originating in Cleveland loving Ohio, the "probiotic" branding is a dead giveaway that this kimchi is more like crapchi.

Might be good on a $1.50 hotdog, it's more kraut than kimchi.

Nothing fermented that is sold in a plastic bag can be good.

I added a little gochujang, sriracha, pickled jalapenos, and MSG, and it was a lot better

e: still no Jongga (the one with two "g"s)

So the first kimchi I bought a while ago is really coming into its own now surprisingly. It's nearing it's expiry date but those are for pussies.

The jongga is already good right off the bat so I can only imagine it's gonna get even better in a few weeks time.

This is the way

I drive a hybrid, and when you pull up to the gas pump you hit the button to open the fuel door and the car engine stays off while you refuel. The Costco attendant today made himself look really dumb and had me shut my car off in 90 degree heat with my 2 young children inside. I explained it was on battery and not running but he insisted.

It was just so loving stupid and I don't have the energy to argue with idiots anymore.

My diocese picked up kimchi (finally) but it's the god drat lovely brand with not a "g" in sight. Also I ordered a slice of pep and the food court dude gave me one off an obviously older inferior pie (while there were four slices of fresh pep just chilling). My faith is shaken.
