About

At Omiyori Culinary Research Lab, you can learn about Korean cuisine and cook it yourself using seasonal ingredients bought at Gyeongdong Market, Cheongnyangni Market and Yangnyeong Market. In particular, it offers a structured way to learn the deeper side of Korean food, including Korea's fermentation culture. Classes use fresh Korean ingredients that change with the seasons, and menus are adapted to requests such as vegetarian, allergy-related or religious needs. Many participants are foreign tourists, so classes are taught in English and Chinese. Regular classes take 8 to 10 people; larger groups must arrange in advance. Classes can be booked online. Omiyori won a prize in the Korea Tourism Organization's tourism venture competition in 2014 and was selected as a tourism venture in 2016. It also received the top prize for outstanding food tourism programs from the Korean Food Promotion Institute in 2020 and the Seoul Tourism Award from the Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2021.
