My recent trip to Korea was a kind of revelation as regards the discovery of Korean food. I was ignorant for too long about the intricacies of this type of Asian cuisine.
This is the first of a series of blog entries dealing with my recent experience in Seoul and on Jeju island.
Even Korean fast food, such as “tuna kimbap” (김밥) as shown on the photos below, can be extremely tasty.
It consists of a filling (here tuna with some salted or preserved vegetables) surrounded by rice and wrapped in seaweed. Delicious.

Tasty Korean fast food
What to drink with it, you might ask? Well, I would suggest a beer. But one could also drink some of the many varieties of rice wine, for instance “makgeoli” (막걸리), a fermented Korean milky drink on a rice-wheat basis with about 6-7% alcohol. More about this later.
