This journey is a "Culinary Narrative" that transcends typical sightseeing. Led by a chef’s aesthetic vision, you will experience a "Culinary Docent" service—interpreting the seasonal language of Ganghwa’s Folk Market and tasting the perfect harmony of the island’s premium harvest, including Ginseng and Hanwoo Beef Tartare Bibimbap. Beyond just a meal, this is an immersive connection to Korea’s heritage through exquisite scents, artisanal Makgeolli, and deep cultural storytelling in historic settings.
Your host is a recognized culinary authority with a 10-year legacy. As the author of two cookbooks, a lecturer at Yonsei University, and a former owner-chef of a restaurant featured in premier gourmet magazines, I bring professional depth to every bite. Having showcased my expertise on major national TV networks (KBS, MBC, SBS) and collaborated with global brands like LG Electronics, I offer an insider’s perspective on K-food that you won't find anywhere else.
