Cooking Class Menu Information

Introducing three kimchi dishes that will be born from your fingertips.

Crispy Kimchi Pancake

Slice well-ripened cabbage kimchi and pan-fry it until it is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It goes perfectly with acidic white wine or light rosé wine.

Cool White Kimchi Noodles

A dish that is enjoyed by mixing somen noodles in a non-irritating and clean white kimchi broth. The clean flavor that cleanses the mouth maximizes synergy when paired with sparkling wine.

Radish Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice

A fusion style that captures the taste with the crunchy texture of radish kimchi and salty bacon. Thanks to its rich flavor, it goes well with light red wine.

'Does the meeting of kimchi and wine feel unfamiliar? However, the natural acidity created by the lactic acid bacteria in kimchi goes surprisingly well with the acidity of wine. With the meticulous guidance of the sommelier host, you will gain the confidence to hold a great 'Korean Wine Party' at your home anytime after the class.'
