Highlight of our trip & suitable for vegetarians! - This was an amazing experience which we have already recommended to many others we have met while in Korea! We were extremely lucky to have a small group of only 5 which allowed Jomin to deliver her impressive tour and workshop with lots of detail and attention. We began at the market which was easy to walk to & communication prior to getting to the meeting place was spot on. Jomin was informative and accommodating while doing the market tour, meaning we walked away much more knowledgeable than we were before! The Kimchi making was very well planned and run smoothly, including many ingredients being prepared in advance for us. The instructions were clear and well-paced, with patience when we made a mistake. We really enjoyed the experience of making four types of Kimchi, and learned lots through the process itself. It was great to then sit and eat what we prepared and had lots of Kimchi to take home with us. Thank you so much for this experience which has been a highlight of our trip!! Another important factor to mention is that we are vegetarian, which has made food difficult to find in Korea. Having previously notified the host of this requirement, we didn’t find our experience diminished in any way, as provisions/replacements were made so that we could experience exactly the same workshop as those who made their kimchi with seafood. We really appreciate this accommodation and it made us feel right at home!

Fun and educational! - I learnt a lot and had a great time. The tour of the market was invaluable and we learnt a lot about the food and cooking. I highly recommend this experience. It produces a lot of kimchi. Do it early in your visit so that you have time to eat all the kimchi that you make!

Korean cooking class - This class is great, the cooking studio is really nice, clean and comfortable. It is conveniently located close to market and subway station. I originally subscribed to a Kimchi making class , however, i feel that this more general cooking class shows the process and gives you a better understanding of how to go about cooking traditional Korean dishes. You also get a book with various recipes and even though it doesn't specifically show how to kake Kimshi you will learn some of the basics. Highly recommend
