Itinerary
This is not a simple vegan offering, but a considered exploration of how varied, layered, and deeply satisfying entirely plant-based Korean food can be.
Among the 13 dishes you will taste, elements of temple cuisine appear throughout — lending a quiet depth rarely found in the market.
Drinks are treated with equal care. Rather than the familiar, you will be introduced to premium makgeolli — selected for character and balance, and served with the context and etiquette that give it meaning.
To allow you to remain fully present, a printed tour recap market map will be provided at the end — a quiet companion for revisiting each stop at your own pace.
