Fine dining, which offers a course consisting of appetizers, dishes, and desserts, generally refers to French, but nowadays, various food cultures such as Japanese food and Chinese food are often fused. Among them, contemporary dining, which is based on Korean food, seems to be very popular because it is a good environment for receiving ingredients, customers who are more familiar and friendly, the fluidity of Korean tableware such as mother-of-pearl and pottery, and the chef's philosophy captured in the food is easier for customers to understand.
Sometimes, I can't help but be amazed when dishes I thought would never be seen in fine dining, such as sashimi or samgyetang, are recreated by the chef and served on the table. Also, the story of the chef incorporating his own experiences and memories into cooking, and creating dishes that fit the bowl is inspired by the pottery of a famous person is also interesting. Korea's fine dining scene tells a story that goes beyond simply making food. I think that means that there are so many talented chefs in Korea, and there are also many foodies with the right taste.

There are few tables in the restaurant, so the space is small, but there is a sense of openness with glass windows on all sides. Among them, the place where you can see Changdeokgung Palace is also known as a view restaurant and is very popular. The menu changes according to the season and presents contemporary dining that reinterprets Korean food. The advantage is the sensuous and delicate plating.

Chef Um Tae-joon of Impression opened a fine dining restaurant last September. Contemporary cuisine based on Korean food is presented, and it's interesting that the clean yet French nuances are peeking out everywhere. The characteristic of this place is that it is full of content, and it starts with picking chopsticks before the course starts, and you can mix and eat food on a DIY basis, and there are plates that look like opening a gift box, so there's no time to get bored even for a moment. The first chopsticks you pick will be given as a present later, making me even more impressed.
