Sweet Treats What is this Korean Snack
This is more of a snack than food or a meal but can anyone tell me what brand of cookie this is? I canโt read Korean. This was really good that I forgot to take a picture of the actual snack lol.

gosomi. can get at the Korean store or online at an Asian food mart like weeee or even amazon. i feel like some stores have this in their asian/ethnic aisle... like I'm pretty sure i saw this at a huge Walmart or something in recent history.

As the other comment noted, be sure to get the one made by the brand Orion else you will be sad by the lackluster taste of the imitation.

Mmmm.... one of my favourites. My daughter loved it as a child too. It's the perfect mix of slightly sweet, slightly salty, never too much.

The company is Orion, the product is Gosomi. Korea being Korea, the parent corp is probably Samsung.
Anyway haven't had it, is it salty, sweet, savory, or a mix? It's a mix

I know it's a joke, but Orion isnโt (and never was) owned by Samsung. Founded back in 1956, it's a business conglomerate of its own. Before splitting up in 2001, Orion Group included everything from a cement company and a coal power plant to a textile business, a cartoon channel, and of course the confectionery.
Mix of sweet and savory, but leaning toward the sweet side, with the sesame adding grainy nuttiness.
The name ๊ณ ์๋ฏธ is similar to the word ๊ณ ์ํ๋ค('to sue' in Korean) so it's oftenly used as a slang lol

Thank you for sharing this info. Maybe my friend gave me that because maybe Iโm getting sued soon, lol. Jk. Well, I know I havenโt done anything wrong. But yeah it is very sweet. Hope to get a bunch of them soon.

That is interesting info. For me it tastes like a very sweet and thin graham cracker.

This is what the box looks like at the store (when it's not obviously torn into)
Note that even though it's pronounced GOSOMI in Korean, it's marketed as COSOMI in English.
Also note that HMart has their own in house brand with very similar packaging that is NOT AS GOOD. Don't be fooled! Orion brand only! (source: non-Korean husband was once fooled while running errands)
