Owing to the carefully curated and harmonious nature of this experience, we are regrettably unable to accommodate certain dietary requirements on our tour. We kindly invite you to contact us so that we may advise, with due care, whether your particular needs can be thoughtfully accommodated.

We are unable to serve alcohol to minors under any circumstances, and we kindly ask that all guests bring valid identification should age verification be required.

Transportation to or from the market

Personal expenses

This is not a simple vegan & vegetarian offering, but a considered exploration of how varied, layered, and deeply satisfying entirely plant-heavy Korean food can be. Drinks are treated with equal care. Rather than the familiar, you will be introduced to premium makgeolli — selected for character and balance, and served with the context and etiquette that give it meaning. You will be gently guided through the manners of sharing, pouring, and toasting — the small, graceful gestures that shape how Koreans gather, connect, and celebrate around the table.

Meeting Point

Jongno 5-ga Station, Seoul, South Korea, KR, 03195

Open in Google Maps

We shall meet just outside Seoul Subway Line 1, at Jongno 5-ga Station—precisely between Exits 7 and 8, in front of the police station, where a curator holding a blue umbrella will be waiting to greet you.

End Point

This experience ends at the meeting point.

Excellent vegan intro to Korea

The tour was excellent. We learnt lots about Korean food and what foods are vegan as standard which has been a massive help for the trip. I’d advise others to do this earlier in your trip to South Korea especially if you are vegan. The food was fantastic and the market was a lot of fun! Don’t hesitate to book!

Perfect introduction to Korean food

What a lovely morning in the market with Jae. In addition to sampling tasty courses, I practiced speaking Korean, attempted using metal chopsticks and learned a little history behind the food. The portions were a good size. We finished just as the market started to get crowded. Good communication leading up to the tour as well. I recommend this treat.

Great evening spent eating!

Easy to find and well planned out tour. Jae Was very well informed and organized. He took us on a tour of foods we otherwise would not have tried. Additionally he went out of his way to recommend other restaurants and must do experiences during our time in Seoul. The tour ended up being just my friend & myself so we felt like we had a private experience. Thank-you Jae for an awesome time!
