Yeah mr. owner got that drip

[@philipborbon4200]

Looking for this in the comment section. Someone will certainly notice that leather jacket :D

[@radi09999]

If you ever tried Korean tried seaweed, I can say Gamtae is the upgraded one with better flavor and richness. It is also better for your body health. Best to have it with well cooked rice and bit of soy sauce. The chef on the 10:30 is the owner of the restaurant called 'Mingles' and I really recommend to visit this place if you have a plan to visit Seoul. This place is also recommended as one of the best restaurant in Asia. I had something of mix between miso and cream cheese on this restaurant. I thought it was very weird combination as other Koreans would also think but it was absolutely stunning.

Korean culture and food is just amazing 🎉 love to see videos like this

[@the.marinator]

So much effort goes into each sheet. Respect for the dedication into making a quality product.

[@victimofpsychiatry]

I love that their factory is so clean! South Koreans really have a good standard of cleanliness!

[@deliamak]

I like how they succeeded at maintaining the vibrant color green of gamtae. I must try gamtae when I visit Korea.

[@tetard88]

Wow as a Korean foodie, I love badasoop and their gamtae. I never thought that I would see an in-depth video about this specific Korean ingredient and brand on this channel. I just realized I can respect the expertise and depth of knowledge of this channel! Great work!

[@BxBxProductions]

[@YashSharma-si8on]

[@rhia_code]

His love and passion for his work shows and its very sweet to see the care he puts into every step of their product.

[@NYAAanAHHSAH]

I got the privilege to try this from a different restaurant in Korea. It was like a 5 course meal and they've had Gamtae and rice like how we wrap Gim (seaweed) in rice. The way I describe the experience was like it was the first time I've had a bite that was perfectly balanced in taste that was harmonous to each other. It wasn't like 50% salty and 50% sweet. It was like they were one with each other like how Christians describe the Trinity. I forgot where I went to experience this but if you ever have the chance to in Korea, go try this out. The texture and taste of it is worth it from a chef that knows how to properly utilize it. You can also imagine like the seasalt Sanji from One Piece anime experienced in Waterworks arc from the old man that makes stirfry. A sea salt comparable to "All Blues". The Gamtae is truly an amazing thing.

[@Trgn]

This strand of seaweed looks so delicate and vibrantly green. To be enjoyed seasoned fresh or in dried form I could already imagine the bite texture and taste must be amazing.

[@yubee77]

I am Korean so I used to eat these since I was young, but now I am surprised to see these in Safeway and trader joes. Costco had it for last 10 years or so I always have crap load of them at home, eat with rice, eat as snack. good stuff.

[@EarlyNai]

wow i never knew this kind of seaweed existed before or was edible

[@alexlee9180]

I love how it's the same method as traditional way of making paper!

[@Luchingnganbi]

We eat a kind of gamtae that grow on stone in running water ,colour also a bit darker than this. Its flavour is like dry fish roasted .

[@chutorosushi1925]

Glad korea mantain these natural area away from pollutions...if in malaysia those greedy authorities has already abuse these site until gone

[@lizardman909]

It is commonly eaten in Japan, but in recent years about half of the population does not eat it on a daily basis. Especially onigiri (rice balls) are sticky, so eating them wrapped in nori (seaweed) keeps your hands clean. It can be made into tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) or added to miso soup. For some reason, a slice is sometimes found in ramen noodles. Korean seaweed is also sold in Japan, but 100% of it is eaten as finger food with alcohol. It is not used in other dishes.

[@SovietProject1989]

Historically Korean seaweed (김 Kim) has beend made since the 5 century but japanese Nori(海苔） since the 8 century. Japanese Nori just has been an imitation of Korean since the Nara period. as you can see, seaweed culture originates from Korea and uniquie Korean food.
