From artisanal coffee to innovative desserts, Seoul’s latest food trend is all about curated experiences that transform coffee, tea, and desserts into high art.
South Korea's culinary scene has always been dynamic, with its ability to adapt global trends while maintaining a distinctly Korean flair. From the iconic Korean barbecue to the endless varieties of street food, the country's food culture is as vibrant as its cities. However, in recent years, a quieter revolution, one that shifts the focus from meals to meticulous moments of indulgence, has been brewing.
In the past, the term “omakase” was almost exclusively associated with high-end sushi restaurants in Japan, where diners would entrust the chef to serve a selection of the day's best offerings. In South Korea, this concept has been adapted beyond sushi to embrace desserts, coffee, and tea, offering patrons an immersive experience that is both intimate and indulgent.
The trend towards these different experiences is reflective of a broader cultural shift in South Korea. As the country's food scene matures, there is an increasing appetite for experiences that go beyond the typical. Consumers are seeking more personalised, high-quality encounters, whether it's in the form of a meticulously crafted piece of dessert or a hand-brewed cup of single-origin coffee.
Nestled in the glitzy Gangnam neighbourhood of Seoul, Culture Citizen Seoul is redefining the dessert scene with its innovative and exclusive dessert omakase. The inspiration behind this experience at Culture Citizen Seoul is rooted in a desire to shift the focus back to the desserts — in many traditional dessert cafes, customers often find themselves engrossed in conversation or the ambiance, with the desserts taking a back seat.
