Some might see "the wall" as a symbol of division. a way to separate people. east berlin vs west berlin. the united states vs mexico. pink floyd's hero against the rest of the world. but you forget about that when you get a chance to visit the old city wall of seoul. this wall means unity. it feels like the past is talking to you. it was actually a

In gounsa temple, we got a chance to experience the tea ceremony. lost in the mountain with an amazing scenery, the temple challenges one to reflect upon his earthly condition. paintings on the temple relate the story and struggles of buddha, as a bell is peacefully ringing on the roof. the head monk invited us in his office and offered us some del

Tea is somehow a religion. like at church, you celebrate it with a ceremony. waiting for its spirit to rise. it is difficult to look at the green fields of boseong without thinking about the cup that charms your nose and mouth at the end of the process. the leaf starts its journey on a quiet hill. it stands in thousands of bushes, silently facing t

Le sikhye est une boisson traditionnelle qu'on trouve normalement dans les jjimjjilbang (bains publics). les matins où la tête est encore pleine de soju, la fraîcheur sucrée du sikhye est plus que bienvenue. un mélange d'eau, de sucre et de riz, parfait avant une sieste au sauna. à andong, la recette est plus complexe. on y trouve des oignons

Chefs locaux et passionnés de cuisine profitent d’un atelier de cuisine coréenne et d’un cours de cuisine. les parisiens ont tout appris sur la hansik à l'appartelier le 14 septembre, avant la semaine du restaurant coréen à paris. 19 septembre 2018, paris, france - «le goût de la corée» : atelier et cours de cuisine de hansik le vendre

A few weeks ago, i took you to boseong. now, let's go more southern, to gangjin. the food (young bamboos sticks, lotus roots marinated in yuzu oil, grilled meat, raw beef with sesame oil, fresh fish...), and the drinks (tea — what else?) taste even better in celadon. did you know that the word itself "celadon" comes from the french "céladon"? c

Andong est située dans le gyeongsang, au centre de la corée du sud. au départ de gunsan, il faut traverser des centaines de kilomètres de montagnes (sombres avant la tombée de la nuit) pour arriver dans la province du jjimdak. nulle part en corée il n’est mieux préparé qu’à andong, certains ferments dans la sauce perdent leur délicate

Located in the modern district of gangnam, the sool gallery offers a great insight into korean traditional liquor. when people think about korean alcohol, it mostly refers to beer, makkeoli, or the green little bottles of soju that everyone drinks at the restaurant. which is a shame because, as much as you might like those cute green bottles, korea
