Mapo Tofu (Sichuan): South Korea vs Mexico
Each item has one base price, and each chain is that base times a fixed chain-level factor. This is not a survey of actual shelf prices. South Korea: 25 items use observed national average retail prices (large-mart channel where reported) from KAMIS (aT) and the Korea Consumer Agency's Chamgageok survey (2026-09-25–30); the split between chains is still estimated.

Per serving, Mapo Tofu (Sichuan) runs about 80% more expensive in South Korea than in Mexico. The single biggest driver of that gap is Tofu, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Mexico — the gap is too large to shrug off.
