Kimchi making class - Jomin takes you through the market and explains the ingredients needed. She then teaches you how to make kimchi & you taste it & get a container to take your homemade kimchi back with you

Kimchi is the best! - This was a terrific class, the walk through the market to see all the raw ingredients was a lot of fun. Jamin was an excellent instructor, she communicated clearly and was very attentive throughout the class. The tasting at the end was delicious, recommend taking this class, you’ll have a unique memory to share from your trip.

Fantastic Experience - Fantastic cooking class with the brilliant twist that you get to shop for the ingredients yourself. Additionally, a visit to the market provides a wealth of background knowledge. The different stalls are explained, and one is also given a time slot to move around the market. The cookery course is fantastic, entertaining, and really well explained. The kitchen is very well-equipped and absolutely perfect for courses. At the end, you receive a very professional cookbook and get to take your kimchi home. I highly recommend the course for those who have a great love for Kimchi and also want to understand its background.
