Six government organizations, including the Korean Food Promotion Institute, formerly known as the Korean Food Foundation, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, introduced their “10 Korean Recipes Loved Around the World” in September 2016, targeting non-Korean tourists who will visit Korea for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The aim is to help tourists enjoy Korean cuisine and widen their understanding of Korean culinary heritage. The 10 selected dishes constitute a Korean menu that contains the essential identity of Korean cuisine, while improving each dish's individual taste, convenience and appearance. |
