Gochugaru is the type of pepper traditionally used to make kimchi and is also known as the Korean pepper or Kimchi pepper. It’s said to be mild, and this is a fairly gentle one, although they’ve perked it up a little bit with Birdseyes.
There’s the tamarind right away, so the sauce is tangy and fruity, a deep red in colour, smooth and fluid. I like this a lot.
And I like the design too. Quite simple in many ways but the colour pairings are perfect. This one has the pink and greeny-blue, the other I have here is pink and orange. They’re very well chosen. And even the skull logo doesn’t bother me. It’s a dog’s skull (I guess) with a kind of horn protuberance, but it’s gonzo enough to carry. It’s clean, attractive, distinctive.
I’m almost tempted to put this on my list of favourites.
