Nongshim said it operated a booth marking the 40th anniversary of Shin Ramyun at the LA Times food event "101 Best Restaurants in L.A.," held Thursday and Friday (local time) at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
The booth featured a Korean-themed tasting lounge, an oversized Shin Ramyun package display and a photo zone built around a 40th-anniversary installation. Nongshim unveiled two special menu items developed with Jihee Kim, owner-chef of Perilla LA — a hansik restaurant that has appeared on the LA Times list of the 101 best restaurants in Los Angeles every year from 2023 to 2026.
The two collaboration dishes were "Shin Ramyun Original with Octopus and Slow Roasted Tomato," pairing the original Shin Ramyun with octopus and slow-roasted tomatoes, and "Shin Ramyun Rosé with Burrata and Gim," adding burrata cheese and gim to Shin Ramyun Rosé. "We will continue to share the appeal of Shin Ramyun as it blends with diverse food cultures around the world," a Nongshim official said.
