What you’ll get 🎁
🫙 2L jar of kimchi you made yourself (veg/vegan/gluten-free options available)
🔥 Kimchi tasting – choose your perfect spice level
🧠 History + science + health benefits of kimchi
🥢 Hands-on practice: cutting, paste-making, mixing & packing
📄 PDF recipe guide with grams, local ingredient suppliers, and storage tips
🧤 Apron + gloves provided (but wear dark clothes – chili paste stains!)
🎟️ Max 12 people – small, chill, social vibe

💬 “You’ll probably have a little leftover kimchi that won’t fit in the jar – eat it right there as fresh kimchi (geotjeori) with sesame seeds.”

What’s inside your kimchi? (customizable)
White cabbage, white radish, carrot, apple, spring onion, onion, shallot, garlic, ginger, saujeot shrimp, fish sauce.
🌱 Vegetarian / vegan / gluten-free option: soy sauce, miso, or tamari instead of shrimp/fish sauce.
🙅 You can skip any ingredient you don’t like.
