Discover the Fiery Flavors and Traditions of Korean Cuisine!

Korea, a country full of contrasts, where historic temples meet futuristic skyscrapers. From the bustling streets of Seoul and traditional villages with wooden houses to picturesque rural landscapes, Korea is dynamic and deeply rooted in traditions. It is a place where modern pop culture spreads worldwide while people lovingly preserve their heritage.

Korean cuisine is as powerful and complex as its history. It is based on spicy, savory, and fermented dishes that are known for their distinct and unmistakable flavors. Among the most famous specialties are kimchi (fermented cabbage with spicy sauce, which is the national dish), bulgogi (marinated grilled beef), and bibimbap (a bowl of rice with various vegetables, meat, and an egg). An integral part of any Korean feast is communal dining and a multitude of small side dishes, called banchan.
