The following items are from the list compiled by Segye Ilbo. I only included Japanese products which are reviewed by Japanese government to be banned for export to N. Korea, in compliance with U.N. sanction slapped against luxury goods destined for N. Korea. The original list also contains some products from S. Korea or European countries. Some items below are really cheap, and may not make the final list, such as Kikkoman soy sauce and Rawang instant noodle.
I added a picture of each item to show what it looks like.
| Tsukiji Tuna |
|
| Matsuzaka Beef |
|
| Nagoya Cochin(chicken) |
|
| Nissan's Rawang(?) Instant Noodle |
|
| Kikkoman Soy Sauce |
|
| Bunmeido Cake(Kasutera) |
|
| Suntory Imperial Whisky(the one shown below is Hibiki, probably not "Imperial") |
|
| NEC Personal Computer |
|
| Daikin Air Conditioner |
|
| Toyota Celsior |
|
| Mazda RX7 |
|
| Honda CB250 |
|
| Yamaha Virago |

Ping!
Note: The food items above are known to be Kim Jong-il's favorite. Other items are also favored by Kim Jong-il for personal use or as gifts to his underlings.
Never tried Suntory whisky, how is it? I'm a big scotch fan.
I'm sure Kim can muddle through as long as he gets his Cognac. And anyway, he can no doubt count on his Democrat chums in America to ship him a personal Care Package if he begins to feel too deprived.
No Kobe Beef or TAMANOHIKARI Sake?......
I've never tried it, either. I am sure somebody at FR has.:-)
Suntory whiskey is a well-kept secret--it's actually pretty smooth, though of course it's not as good as Maker's Mark whiskey.
No Kikkoman ? This means war !
I hope they keep the shoyu and ramen on the list. Any Japanese consumer goods must be luxurious in North Korea.
OH Man that one noodle dish look like one of microvable noodle dish you put in micorewave
HEY TIGER is Chia Pet is he hog I mean like biker I can't imagine Chia Pet riding Harley or one of Motorcycles LOL!
How many North Koreans were tooling around the internet in their new NEC personal computer, anyway?
I can't imagine Ted Kennedy giving Chia Pet his personal stash of his best Whiskey LOL!
