Yangban

Dongwon F&B’s Yangban brand has established itself as a leading Korean-style home meal replacement (HMR) brand, captivating not only Korean consumers but also palates around the world.

Launched in 1986, Yangban was Korea’s first HMR brand dedicated to traditional Korean cuisine. Staying true to its philosophy that “the quality of ingredients determines the taste,” Yangban insists on using premium natural ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Its flagship products include Yangban Gim, which celebrates its 40th anniversary, and Yangban Porridge, which has remained a household favorite for over 30 years. The brand also offers a wide range of other products including cooked rice, Kimchi, soups and stews, Korean-style pancakes and side dishes, as well as traditional beverages like sikhye, sujeonggwa, and omija tea.

Yangban is accelerating its global expansion with Yangban Gim at the forefront. Carefully selected by a “Master Seaweed Sommelier” with over 20 years of expertise, the seaweed is roasted twice to ensure optimal taste and quality. As the No.1 seasoned seaweed brand in Korea, Yangban Gim has benefited from the growing global popularity of Korean seaweed and is now exported to over 30 countries including the United States, Japan, and Thailand.
A Dongwon F&B representative stated, “We will continue to enhance our R&D and marketing efforts to bring the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine through Yangban to consumers worldwide.”
