What does kimchi mean to Korean people?

To Koreans, life without kimchi is unthinkable.


You may have heard of kimchi, but you maybe don’t know what is means to Koreans. Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish, which is more than just vegetables made with various seasonings. As it demonstrates the identity of a nation, kimchi has become a symbol for all Korean people.


If you ask Koreans whether they can serve meals without kimchi, 9 out of 10 people will answer with a big no, because kimchi is inherent to all Koreans. Even when travel to overseas, many Koreans bring some packs of kimchi in their suitcase. You may also have heard that Korean national football players bring their own kimchi and have kimchi before they have a World Cup match.


Therefore, if you want to try Korean food in a way of authenticity, you should try kimchi. The good news is that it’s easy to buy Kimchi at any Asian supermarkets in Berlin. You may also order some kimchi from us, as we are going to introduce our homemade kimchi and kimchi box soon. If you want to know more about kimchi and learn how to make it, please wait for our kimchi class.

Enjoy kimchi and enjoy Korea!
