Korean kitchen · Frankfurt old town
Seoulon the Main.
Kimchi aged in our own clay jars, bibimbap in sizzling stone and small plates to share. Quick at lunch, relaxed at dinner, five minutes from the Römer.
Tue–Fri 11:30–14:30 & 17:30–22:30 · Sat & Sun all day
The idea
Frankfurt ages apple wine in a Bembel. We age kimchi in an onggi.
An onggi is a Korean clay jar with a breathing wall: air gets in, moisture stays put. We ferment our own kimchi, soybean paste and chilli paste in them, slowly, the way Korean families have for generations.
Frankfurt already knows the idea. The Bembel is stoneware too, it sits in the middle of the table, and everyone pours for each other. That is how we eat: lots of small bowls in the middle, everybody helps themselves.
