As an avid food and wine lover, founder, Lauryn Chun was inspired by the beauty of Korea's handcrafted tradition of kimchi as a fine food that belongs in the ranks of fine fermented foods like wine, cheese and beer traditions.
Hooni Kim is the first Michelin-starred chef in Korean cuisine. When his New York restaurants Danji and Hanjan slowed down during the pandemic, he temporarily relocated to Korea, where he visited every summer as a child. He describes the difference between fermenting and pickling and the most popular Korean cold dishes from his recent cookbook, “My Korea.”
