Some very useful things at the Korean store: homemade kimchi!! Very good. So luxurious.
The other imported goods are much smaller in scope and variety but functional. They don’t have the 20 types of rice I’m used to but they’ll have like, 6. Same with tofu. I’m glad I don’t have to get supermarket branded tofu and they have Korean tofus here. Also needed my soy sauce, and basic pantry items.
Still figuring out my Monterey kitchen situation. The people I cook with mostly cook food that’s similar to what I cook so maybe I’ll talk to them about splitting the use of pantry basics instead of all of us having like, 5 types of soy sauce. Or maybe I’ll just get the nice soy sauce I only use here
