Notes since filming: What’s really interesting about this review is that I haven’t seen any other reviewers notice the recipe differences between the American Neoguri and Korean Neoguri. What I have noticed, however, is that very frequently someone on Reddit will complain about Neoguri not tasting like they remember it tasting, and my suspicion is that it has to do with the domestic vs. export recipe changes.
Original video description: A 25th episode special review! I was going to review the Korean import of Nongshim Neoguri until I spied a really drastic difference between it and the U.S. version. Check out the video to learn what I found and hear the verdict on which one is the better product!
