Review: Nongshim Gamjatangmyun

This is an interesting-sounding product that Nongshim stealthily discontinued selling in the USA recently during their big website/product line refresh: Nongshim Gamjatangmyun. That’s a shame, because at least on paper, this isn’t something I’ve really seen from any other Korean noodle manufacturers. I just so happen to still have one of these I picked up a while back, so this review is here in case Nongshim ever brings this flavor back to the US or if any of you would like to buy it from South Korea. I believe this may also still be available in other markets under the name “Kamjatangmyun.”
