“I purchased the traditional kimchi and thought it was absolutely sensational! You can tell that this kimchi is made by people who have serious skill and knowledge about Korean cuisine. It’s honestly miles better than any other kimchi I’ve tried in the UK, and I’ve tried several different brands of kimchi. You will not regret buying the traditional kimchi from Kimchi & Radish! Based on this experience, I have no doubt that Kimmy’s other products are fantastic too..”

“Amazing! Some of the best kimchi I have ever had. Love the texture of the daikon and the flavour of the kimchi juice. Just gets better the long it ferments! It’s a nice alternative to your standard kimchi and goes with everything.”
