Deodorant AND Rootbeer??

One of the best places for hard to find stuff is a little grocery store with a certain NYC curb appeal in Itaewon, Seoul.




Located just south of Itaewon station, the recently remodelled Foreign Food Mart carries many foreign staples.  Much of what's here comes from India and south Asia, but there are some good American products here too.  Gillette deodorant (stick) and Mug rootbeer are regularly in stock, along with lasagna noodles and mac & cheese.  While the prices can be about double what you'd expect to pay in the US, it still doesn't cross the line into the outrageous.  While it's pretty far away from my home, the KAF is near zero because I always know what to expect. ^^

I've never been there when it hasn't been crowded.  It is a tight squeeze!

Here is a blog that has a few pictures from inside the store, before it was remodeled

For what it's worth, there is also another foreign market across the street.  It is a smaller, but it is brighter and cleaner.  It's also worth a look! ^^
