[Today’s New Product] "Authentic Wasabi Zing"... Haitai Launches ‘Washao Long’ Dumplings

"First Wasabi Dumpling Introduced in the Domestic Frozen Dumpling Market"

Haitai Confectionery announced on the 9th that it is launching "Washao Long," a dim sum filled with wasabi.

The new product recreates the popular gourmet combination of meat paired with wasabi in the form of a traditional Shanghai dim sum, xiaolongbao. According to Haitai Confectionery, this is the first time wasabi dumplings are being introduced to the domestic frozen dumpling market.

By using horseradish powder, the product offers the distinctive zing of real wasabi rather than simply being intensely spicy. It also contains five types of vegetables—cabbage, green onion, onion, garlic, and ginger—along with pork sourced from Korea. Each pack comes with six pieces and can be ready to eat after three minutes in a microwave.

Haitai Confectionery previously launched "Shaolong," a convenient xiaolongbao, in 2006 and released the cheese galbi flavor in 2022. This new release marks a follow-up four years later. Starting this month at CU convenience stores, sales will gradually expand to all convenience stores nationwide.

A Haitai Confectionery representative stated, "With this unique attempt to feature wasabi in xiaolongbao, now a popular dumpling, we have broadened the flavor landscape of the domestic dim sum market," adding, "Because it can be enjoyed easily and conveniently, we hope that the tangy umami of Washao Long helps to relieve the stress of a busy daily life."
