The famous Korean fire-noodle challenge pack, doubled. Chewy stir-fry noodles coated in a sweet, smoky, seriously hot chicken sauce.

Deep red-pepper broth with a roasted, open-fire character. A Korean classic that eats like a proper bowl of soup, not just instant noodles.

Meiji Kinoko no Yama Chocolate Mushrooms

Tiny biscuit stems with milk chocolate caps, shaped like mushrooms. One side of Japan's great "mushroom vs. bamboo shoot" snack rivalry.

Morinaga's long-lasting fruit chew in the flavor that sells out first. It's soft and bouncy, and it tastes like actual mango rather than mango candy.

The gentle Korean ramyun: a clean, savory beef-and-vegetable broth with a whisper of pepper. The pack to start a Noodle Vault newcomer on.

Kasugai Lychee Gummy

Soft, individually wrapped gummies with a floral lychee flavor made from real fruit juice. The gummy that converts people who don't like gummies.

Lotte Pepero Almond & Chocolate

Korea's chocolate-dipped biscuit sticks, rolled in chopped almonds. The one everyone trades on Pepero Day, November 11.

Kracie Popin' Cookin' Sushi Candy Kit

A DIY candy kit where you mix powders and water into tiny gummy sushi: rice, tuna, egg, and roe that pops. Grape and soda flavored, all of it edible.

Orion Turtle Chips Corn Soup

Four-layered Korean corn chips that shatter when you bite them, dusted in a sweet corn soup seasoning. Loud, crunchy, and strangely comforting.
