Cheongju Week

Evett, Gangnam District

Through May 31


Restaurant Evett, run by chef Joseph Ligerwood, presents a course meal paired with Korean drinks. This week, restaurant’s traditional Korean liquor sommelier Dustin Wessa serves a variety of Korean drinks to the chef’s 10-course dinner until Friday. The restaurant is run by Australian chef who opened his own place in Seoul after falling in love with ingredients here during his travel across the country. With his working experience at French Laundry and elsewhere, he has been trying to incorporate what’s Korean into his dishes.

The food and Korean drinks gets even more special thanks to the Canadian sommelier who explains the history and making of Korean drinks in fluent Korean. Just like chef Ligerwood has traveled across the country for food ingredients, sommelier Wessa has been on the move all the time to visit towns where drink masters are.

The restaurant is set to present three events this year with their choice of Korean drinks. The first of the three is focused more on introducing Korea’s cheongju, usually clear and made with fermented rice or other crops. The second one is scheduled to happen in August with a variety of gwahaju, a mix of fermented and distilled alcohol. The third one in November will focus on takju, more commonly known as makgeolli.

The dinner is 130,000 won and additional pairing of Korean drinks is 60,000 won. For more information, go to www.restaurantevett.com or call (070) 4231-1022.
