On this occasion, health food restaurants across the country are experiencing a surge in business as samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), grilled eel, and raw croaker are particularly in high demand. At some renowned eateries, reservation wait times have stretched beyond two hours.
The food industry is responding to this trend by launching a variety of ready-to-eat health food products. Convenience stores and large supermarkets are seeing rising popularity for easy-to-cook items like samgyetang kits and eel rice bowls. Additionally, fusion health food menus targeting younger generations are emerging.
