Warm Up with a Korean Twist This Fall
As temperatures start to drop, DyDo Drinco is bringing the heat with its newest canned soup drink: the Spicy Yukgaejang Rice Soup. Hitting shelves in Japan on October 6, this cozy concoction combines the comfort of rice, the kick of Korean spices, and the convenience of a can. Yes, it’s basically a meal you can sip—no spoon required.
What’s Inside the Can?
The soup is inspired by yukgaejang, Korea’s beloved spicy beef broth traditionally simmered with shredded meat, glass noodles, and a mix of vegetables. DyDo’s version adds a unique twist: it’s made with hearty whole rice grains, thanks to a patented tech (Patent No. 7550736) that keeps the texture intact. It’s designed to satisfy midday hunger pangs and warm you up from the inside out.
Flavor-wise, it’s big on umami, blending gochujang (Korean chili paste), seafood stock, and savory meat flavors to create a deep, rich, and spicy broth. Basically, it’s Korean comfort food in grab-and-go form.
Snack or Meal? It’s Both
If your stomach starts growling between lunch and dinner—or if you’re just looking for a cozy treat without the hassle—this soup is your new snack-time hero. Compact enough to carry, satisfying enough to stand in as a mini meal.
“We wanted something that feels indulgent and nourishing, without slowing you down,” says a DyDo rep. “The rich flavor and filling rice make it feel homemade—and it’s great for cold weather.”
Canned K-Flavor: The Trend Continues
This launch is another nod to the rising global appeal of Korean cuisine, especially its reputation for bold flavors and soul-warming heat. While K-pop and K-dramas dominate screens, Korean food is quietly conquering taste buds in the most delicious ways—now, even from a vending machine.
