Immerse Yourself in Korean Culinary Culture with Our Secret Seoul Cooking Class by Secret Food Tours!
Discover the art and tradition of Kimchi, the cornerstone of Korean cuisine. While Kimchi is celebrated around the globe, its true magic lies in the time-honored techniques and captivating stories passed down through generations in Korea.
Join us in a hidden gem location near the iconic Gyeongbokgung Palace, where you’ll embark on a hands-on journey into creating three authentic Kimchi-inspired dishes.
Guided by our expert chefs, you’ll learn the secrets of fermentation, the art of balancing bold and subtle flavors, and how to pair Kimchi with other dishes to craft perfect, harmonious meals.
Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a curious beginner, you’ll walk away with newfound expertise and a deeper appreciation for Korean culinary traditions.
After your culinary creations are complete, sit back and enjoy your dishes in a warm, inviting setting that reflects the heart and soul of Seoul. As you dine, sip on a glass of traditional Makgeolli rice wine, or opt for a refreshing soda if you prefer.
A quality drink will be served, however if you would like more, a thoughtfully curated Add Upgraded Drinks Package is available.

The booking fee that you have to pay is to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
