What you can expect

  • Just as Queen Seondeok, the first queen of Silla, built Cheomseongdae with wisdom and care, we welcome you with the same warmth.

    Begin your experience with a guided walk through Seongdong Market, a traditional local market loved by residents. As a local host, your guide will help you communicate with vendors, ask questions about unfamiliar ingredients, and understand how Koreans choose and use them in everyday cooking. If there’s any side dish or food that catches your eye, you’re welcome to buy and taste it like a local.

    After the market tour, move to the cooking studio and prepare a full Korean home-style meal, starting from the basics — including cooking rice in a traditional Korean pot (sot).

    Learn how to make
    Kimbap with freshly cooked pot rice
    Tteokgalbi (Korean grilled marinated beef patties)
    Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with vegetables)
    Kimchi-jeon (crispy Korean kimchi pancakes)
    Sungnyung (traditional scorched rice soup made from the pot).

    Enjoy vegan options and a menu that may change depending on the season, reflecting the Korean ancestral belief that eating in harmony with the seasons is essential to a healthy and balanced life.

    Leave with practical recipes you can recreate at home, along with a deeper understanding of Korean food culture.
