Miso Beef Launch and Increased Stock

The two types of Miso Beef launched by GS The Fresh are receiving significant consumer attention. These menu items, mainly featuring Anchovy and Sirloin cuts, are made with a special sauce using miso. This enhances the rich and tender flavor of the beef.

Due to its high popularity even before its launch, GS The Fresh announced that it will double its initial planned stock of 30,000 units to 60,000 units. This demonstrates the considerable success of GS The Fresh's collaboration, as many customers pre-ordered the product.

Rise of Fine Dining and Home Dining Trends

In recent years, the interest in ‘fine dining’ has increased, leading to a surge in demand for high-quality ingredients. Sales of fresh produce from GS The Fresh are also growing rapidly, with sales increasing by 39.7% compared to the previous month over the past three weeks. Vegetable sales showed the highest growth at 58.4%, while livestock and seafood sales grew by 46.9% and 25.2%, respectively.

This growth is driven by the ‘home dining’ trend, where more people are cooking at home instead of eating out due to high prices. It offers a more affordable way to enjoy high-quality meals compared to dining out.

GS The Fresh's Strategic Collaboration

GS The Fresh planned this collaboration with Chef Yoon Namno to reflect the home dining trend focused on high-quality, fresh ingredients. The combination of Chef Yoon's recipe and high-grade beef goes beyond a simple product launch; it allows customers to easily recreate the chef's dishes at home.

The combination of Chef Yoon Namno's reputation and GS The Fresh's fresh ingredients makes this Miso Beef a promising success. It will be available at a special discounted price of ₩11,900 until October 29th, so purchasing it before then would be a good opportunity.

GS The Fresh will fully utilize its production line to meet customer demand, providing Chef Yoon Namno's Miso Beef to more consumers. Given the high potential for this collaborative product to become a best-seller, various collaborations and product launches are anticipated in the future.
