The food served at our Seattle Korean restaurant comes from a long history of culinary tradition. Food plays a central role in formal Korean ceremonies, such as weddings, funerals, coming-of-age rituals, and ancestral rites. Although the ceremonial foods differ across regions, the importance of these foods has contributed to their elaborate, carefully crafted flavors.
The ceremony associated with deceased relatives is called jesa, and Korean food is integral to the event. In a series of phases, food presented at funeral ceremonies includes rice, soup, liquor, noodles, skewers of meat, vegetables, kimchi, fruit, and many more.
