GS Retail’s convenience store GS25 announced on the 22nd that it will release renewed gimbap as the first outcome of its 'One Meal Revolution' project this month. The One Meal Revolution is GS25’s ready-meal operation strategy and a representative food slogan for this year, aiming to provide a new paradigm of food beyond the conventional convenience store products.

The renewed gimbap increased the main topping quantity to about 40% compared to the finished product, and the seaweed weight was also increased to maintain the shape without bursting. In addition to optimizing seaweed roasting, sesame oil was applied to add a crispy texture and savory flavor. The rice was enhanced with the umami taste by using concentrated beef bone broth and kelp extract. Along with renewing the basic gimbap fillings, the lineup was expanded to include the “Whole Series” gimbap topped with whole ingredients. GS25 launched two types, Big Sausage Gimbap and Pork Cutlet Gimbap, on the 16th, and plans to sequentially introduce gimbap using whole ingredients such as rolled eggs and fish cakes.
