Any place to buy black liquorice from in Seoul? I've found a few places online but to make it economical I would need to order 3kgs of salty Dutch style which would be 100,000Won delivered.

3kgs is a bit of over kill.

I may have found a way to trick the sytem into not charging anymore shipping.

Place and order for the liqurice club to receive two different types of liquorice each month inc shipping for 178 dollars

Any additional things I have added on haven't ran up on the shipping charge.
If I pay by visa card and they try and screw me I can claim it back using the charge back system.

Right time to order 30kgs

You could even bathe in all of that... that would be totally awesome... and disgusting....


No luck in international markets? I could only find my oatmeal in one of those markets. $10 for a $2-3 bin back home... but oh so worth it... chocolate no bake cookies you are mine!


I don't know how much you are looking for but if you know someone in the States that would be able to help you out, get a flat rate box, the larger ones are $37 (according to the box sitting next to me that I just had black licorice sent in) and have them send you some things you are having problems finding here.

The Red Door and the same kind of store near it in Itaewon. Ask the lady to order tons of Black Twizzlers please. She charges 4,500 won for 450g bag or however many grams it is. You know, a big bag of Twizzlers. Kind that'd cost two bucks back home.

^^ I might have a line on it from the UK. Not the dutch salty stuff but the UK shippers are quoting 35 quid delivery on an order of 8kgs.

i need to email them and see how it is shipped. Mininum purchase is 50quid of sweets/candy plus this 35quid delivery. If it works out that this is right I'll put an order in open a sweet shop on daves.

Probably no luck finding it here, but I would really like to get hold of some scandanavian hard crystalline liquorice candy. You add it to vodka, let it sit for a few days, and it becomes a delicious black, salty, sweet, liquorice-flavoured spirit.

It's really good, but I can never find the stuff, only known a Finn and a Swede who brought it from home.

Where are you going to order your liquorice from?
