Lotte Department Store's Daegu branch is marking the season for gwamaegi — a beloved winter delicacy — by offering the dried fish sourced directly from Guryongpo.

The store announced Tuesday that it has begun selling Guryongpo gwamaegi at the seafood corner on its second below-ground floor.

The branch has also launched a new "gwamaegi set for two," bundling the dried fish with fresh vegetables and spicy dipping sauce so customers can enjoy the winter specialty at home without any extra preparation.

The set is priced at 27,800 won ($21).

Alongside this, the store plans to hold tasting events for customers visiting the floor, giving shoppers a chance to sample the rich, savory flavor of gwamaegi firsthand.

"We put together a practical set so customers can easily enjoy in-season Guryongpo gwamaegi at home," a Lotte Department Store Daegu branch official said.
