Where in Seoul can I find a brick of real cheese? Like cheddar and such? Everything else just seems to carry the plastic stuff.

You can get a 2 pound block of cheddar, mild, medium or sharp, for like 12,000 Won at Costco. They also have Colby, Pepper Jack, Montery Jack, Parmegean and a bunch of others. I've seen smaller blocks of cheese at Lotte Mart, Emart and Homeplus, but they were almost the same price as the 2 pound blocks at Costco.

Costco has several locations, they sell rather large bricks of a limited variety. Hannam mart near Itaewon. The Hyatt Hotel on the hill above Itae sells cheese and good bread too by the way. The bread sells at a discount after 7:00 PM. Be prepared to lose your appetite over the price. At least some Shinsegae stores sell cheese in the basement shops.

If you don't have or don't want a Costco membership, Emart just started selling a 98 gram block of a pretty good pepperjack style under the Cletvelle brand for around 3800 won. I admit that is a little expensive, but not a huge outlay for an occasional splurge.

Costco sells Tillamook cheese right?
That's where I'm from, Oregon. So you know it's real good!

Well, almost as good as Wisconsin cheese. That's where I am originally from.
