"Experience Namdo Cuisine at the Namdo International Gastronomy Industry Expo"

Recruitment for Participants in the Namdo Gastronomy Cooking Experience
and Youth Sensory Experience Class

The Secretariat of the Namdo International Gastronomy Industry Expo announced that it is recruiting participants for the "Namdo Gastronomy Cooking Experience" and the "Youth Sensory Experience Class," which will be held during the expo in October.

Both programs are designed to teach cooking using Namdo's signature ingredients under the guidance of renowned Namdo chefs and professional instructors, as well as to provide sensory education that allows participants to experience traditional ingredients with all five senses.

The "Namdo Gastronomy Cooking Experience" requires a participation fee of 5,000 won, with 20 participants accepted per session on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and taste a variety of dishes, including beef yukjeon, abalone rice ball gimbap, and herb salt making.

The "Youth Sensory Experience Class" is offered twice daily with a participation fee of 2,000 won, providing opportunities to experience Namdo's premium ingredients through hands-on programs such as making seaweed gimbap and native soybean salad.

In particular, these experience programs are expected to offer a special gastronomic experience to both youth and family visitors, as they can enjoy cooking with Namdo ingredients firsthand.

Hong Yanghyun, head of the Secretariat of the Namdo International Gastronomy Industry Expo, stated, "This is a great opportunity to experience the rich ingredients and traditional recipes of Namdo and to appreciate the value of gastronomy," adding, "We hope that many young people and families will participate and enjoy the tastes and culture of Namdo."

The programs will be held at the indoor experience center and open studio within the expo venue, and anyone aged six and above can participate. Children under six may join if accompanied by a guardian, and advance reservations can be made through Ticketlink.

The 2025 Namdo International Gastronomy Industry Expo is the first international gastronomy-themed event approved in Korea, based on the value and industrial potential of Namdo gastronomy, which combines the pristine nature and culinary expertise of Jeollanam-do. The event will take place from October 1 to 26 at the Mokpo Culture and Arts Center and its surrounding areas.
