Winter Hill Brewing [Somerville, MA] and an ode to mom and pop Korean shops [Reliable Market; Somerville, MA]

We have a fairly high turnover of Asian staples such as rice, rice vinegar, tamari/soy sauce, kimchee, banchan (which I just don’t have time/willpower to make), dried seaweed and mushrooms, chili powders, miso, gochujang, Japanese curry, dashi…so I have to replenish every few weeks or so. I tend to buy my fresh produce, like scallions and garlic, at Whole Foods.

Can’t give you advice about specific items to buy as I don’t know your cooking habits/pantry needs - simply continue to patronize!

And can you believe that I am not on Facebook?! The upside is that the Russians have no idea of my political leanings. If they did I think I would be nuked.

It’d be fun to meet up for a Korean food shopping/eating safari one of these days! Or any kind of food safari for that matter, a la Chowhound.
