The Wittiest Way to Carry a Piece of Seoul: The Rediscovery of Food Miniature Goods


Korean Food Miniatures

When walking through the streets of Seoul, it is easy to be captivated by the mouth-watering aromas and vibrant visuals of the local cuisine. For those who wish to keep those delicious memories alive long after their journey ends, Seoulicious introduces a collection of truly special items. These are not just ornaments to be admired; they are food miniature goods that wittily reinterpret Seoul’s rich culinary culture.



Cook Model Series : Gimbap, Porkbelly

The first things that catch the eye are the exquisitely crafted keyring series from "Cook Model (Cook Mohyeong)," a Korean brand specializing in food miniatures. Unlike generic, mass-produced plastic trinkets, these items boast a level of detail that is in a class of its own. Thanks to 100% handmade craftsmanship, Korean staples like freshly rolled Gimbap, colorful Bibimbap, and even glistening grilled Pork Belly have been reborn as perfect, palm-sized replicas. The lineup also features a wide variety of snacks, including mini Bungeo-ppang (carp-shaped bread) that captures the nostalgia of Seoul's winter streets, trendy salt bread, and traditional Yakgwa. These items are available as keyrings, phone grips, or MagSafe accessories, making them the perfect way to add a unique touch of personality to your everyday tech devices.



Seaweed Bookmark

For book lovers, there is a delightful surprise to be found between the pages: the "Seaweed Bookmark." This hyper-realistic bookmark is so detailed that you can almost feel its crispy texture and savory oiliness, eliciting both admiration and laughter from anyone who sees it. The whimsical idea of placing a piece of 'Gim' (dried seaweed)—an essential part of the Korean dining table—inside a book makes reading time even more enjoyable. For those looking to remember their trip to Korea, it leaves a stronger impression than any conventional souvenir.

These charming "pieces of Seoul" can be conveniently purchased through an online store. If you are a traveler currently visiting Seoul, we highly recommend taking advantage of Korea’s advanced delivery system. By setting your accommodation, such as a hotel or Airbnb, as the shipping address, you can safely receive your items before your trip concludes.
