Joyang Mart is famous for having a huge selection of alcohol at cheap prices, and as it turns out, it’s not far from Konkuk University Station. I happened to stumble upon it while walking, and the amount of alcohol inside was completely unexpected given the shabby exterior.
Some of the drinks
This is just the warm-up…
Whiskeys
It felt like almost every bottle available in Korea was here.
Champagnes
High-end champagnes are just laid out on display.
Various drinks
I see a lot of familiar bottles…
Chinese liquors…
Looks like they have all the famous ones… though duty-free prices are usually less than half. For the expensive stuff, it might actually be cheaper to just fly to China and buy it there.
Expensive bottles…
For someone like me who hits the duty-free shops often, these are just for reference…
Budget drinks
Some of the cheaper drinks are priced similarly to what you’d find in China.

Just leaving these here for the record.
Whiskeys
They have Ki One too.
Whiskeys
And some bourbons.

Kavalan
It seems like there’s hardly anything that doesn’t enter Korea…

Japanese Whiskey
I see things like Miyagikyo.
And Hakushu too…
There’s such a variety. I wonder if people actually buy all this stuff when they stock this much…
Macallan
They have new products too.
Ankimo
Great as a snack; I didn’t know they imported this…
Chinese fruit shop
They have jackfruit and pomelo. Fruits that are hard to find in Korea.
Dried fruits
There are so many kinds.
Desserts
The variety is seriously impressive.
Cashews in shell
These are the tasty ones, and they actually sell them here…
Various desserts
They sell all sorts of things besides fruit.
Another shop
Shop name
It’s called Durian Empire, and I saw that they have one in Daerim too. Aside from the prices, it feels like there’s not much difference from being in China…
Yongsoya China Burger
Yongsoya… brings back memories…
