The infinite transformation of Korean food is currently underway.
Now, a few years after “omakase,†which means a course composed by a chef using seasonal ingredients, went viral in Korea, omakase has become a mainstream dining culture in the gourmet scene and is being widely used. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of restaurants that use the Korean word “entrustmentâ€.
This arrangement is also evolving in a wider range of ways, from fusion fine dining combined with French and Italian to Korean wine dining that goes well with wine, traditional Korean sake dining restaurants that pair traditional sake, and Korean bars. The transformation of Korean dining, which focuses on familiar ingredients, sauces, and recipes, is fun.

A restaurant specializing in Korean appetizers with dishes that can be served with traditional sake. It is a space created in collaboration with Chef Kim Se-jin from Jipyeong Brewery, a makgeolli brand loved by the MZ generation. It is divided into bright and open hall seats and quiet room-type seats located underground. You can enjoy a variety of dishes using seasonal ingredients, and it's interesting that not only the food but also the plating and visuals contain painstaking traces and stories. A satisfying place no matter who you visit with.

A new business for Chef Park Jin-yong, who creates dishes with stories even in an unstructured sense of freedom. They are already going viral with regulars that came from going through Chez Alex and Cheongdam 6-3. It's interesting to use French recipes to unravel familiar Korean ingredients and boldly use herbs with strong flavors, such as shiso and ginseng leaves. The signature chicken dish is a menu where you can enjoy the ginseng flavor from the broth, soft chicken, and pepper puree with rich rice. We recommend that you experience it in advance before an even more intense reservation war breaks out in the future.

A Korean dining restaurant located in Haeundae Marine City where you can enjoy a meal while looking out at Dongbaek Island. Although it mainly focuses on Korean food, it is close to contemporary where Japanese and French recipes are mixed. The course where you serve noodles after eating bites, sashimi, soup, tempura, fish, and ribs with fresh seasonal ingredients is interesting. The ocean view from the dipped-shaped bar adds a romantic mood.

5. “Miji Korean Omakase,†Hapjeong, a Korean appetizer that blossomed from an iron plate

It looks like a French restaurant with a black and white base, but the moment I saw the green onion kimchi served as a basic dish, I realized once again that it was Korean dining. It is a place that makes a take-in course meal consisting of a grill and teppanyaki, mainly Korean food, and it's a great place to eat while watching the kitchen at the bar table. After taking a bite, abalone dishes, grilled vegetables, tempura, and fried rice stir-fried on an iron plate provide a satisfying finish.
