One of the slightly strange but famous Korean products is Banana Mat Milk or 바나나맛 우유. 맛 in Korean translates as Taste (or flavor) which makes sense as this is simply a banana flavored milk drink. It has over 55,000 likes on it’s 2 Facebook Pages which is amazing for such a small product. It’s basically available at every market, supermarket or convenience store across Korea partly due to it’s popularly and also due to it’s long shelf life. It’s cheap at around W1000 ($1) and is a healthier option over a soda. The foil lid also gives it an English Milk Bottle feel.
It comes in a few other flavors including Strawberry and Melon. This is something everyone who visits Korea should try at least once.

They sell these in America but oddly enough they’re packages in a juicebox container with a picture of the banana juice on the outside.
My Korean friend drinks this everyday when we have lunch together. I’ll definitely be asking for a try now!
Great post!

Yum. I will look for this in our local store.
I like the strawberry the best but the other day saw a new melon flavor. Sounds strand to me. Ever tried it?
Seen it but never tried it. But might try it out at some point this week as the weather is getting ever warmer.

Dear sir
I would like to import your milk in Nepal.
Do you have dust banana milk or not?
We do not. This is a blog / information website, and we don’t and have never sold products.
I recommend contacting the producer directly, there details are listed on the post.
Good luck.
Do u know the expired date, how long it can keep? Usually other drink written at the bottle, but uyu just 05.07 …
2 weeks, I think. Maybe more. I normally just buy and drink, so I’ve never looked into it. Sorry.
It’s ok.. tq btw
