Michelin Guide Seoul brings recognition of Korean food on the international stage

'미쉐린 가이드 서울', 한식세계화 앞당기길 If you want a memorable meal out, you might want to pick up a copy of the famous Michelin Restaurant Guide. Those guides offer the opinions of food professionals on everything from weeknight dinner to a meal of a lifetime. Just last month, the guide announced its picks for the first-ever Seoul edition. And, we're no short of three whole stars, all in Korean cuisine. Critics stress that the listing is not the be-all, end-all of the culinary delights that Korea has to offer. Setting the table to gie us a taste of what Michelin stars mean: Our News Feature tonight with Kwon JAngho This unassuming restaurant in the heart of Seoul has been attracting Korean and international customers alike for the past 17 years, specializing in a traditional Korean crab dish. Last month, it was one of the first in the country to be awarded a prestigious Michelin Star. "This is the restaurant's signature dish -- ganjanggejang . It's soy sauce marinated fresh crab made from a special family recipe. And it's this special recipe which the owner reckons landed them in the world's leading restaurant guide book." Since then even more customers have been flooding in than usual, seemingly unable to get enough of the fresh morsels of crab. "It tastes so good. It's almost creamy, and it feels like heaven in my mouth." "I think it's really very delicious. We always hear about Korean food is a little bit spicy, I think the spicy here is not so over." "I know that ganjanggejang takes a lot of work to prepare, and it's really not easy to make it taste this good. I definitely think this is a very good restaurant deserving of its Michelin star." Owner and head chef Han Yeong-yong said he had been caught completely off guard by the designation. He said he had no idea the Michelin inspectors had visited and he was only told that he was on the shortlist shortly before the announcement. "Unlike many of the other restaurants on the list, we are very traditional and I'm still curious about how we were judged. They still haven't really told us. Personally, I think it's our soy sauce that won them over. Other places might be able to get crabs as good as ours, but they can't replicate our sauce." The Michelin Guide, created by the French-tire manufacturer of the same name, has been reviewing restaurants for over a hundred years. Its strict and secretive judging format means it's normal for the restaurants not to know when the Michelin inspectors have visited, as they visit anonymously over a period of months. The inspectors consider a number of criteria such as ingredients, taste, value and consistency. The restaurants can be then awarded one to three stars, with one star for a "very good restaurant" and three for one that's "worth a special journey." In this inaugural Seoul edition, 24 restaurants were awarded stars, including two that were awarded three stars. Gaon is one of the two to receive this highest honor, and joins an exclusive club of only 111 restaurants around the world. The restaurant serves traditional Korean cuisine but with modern asthetics, and the guide praises their "meticulously-prepared dishes, made with fresh seasonal ingredients" helping to promote a better understanding of Korean food. We want to take Korean cuisine apart and put it back together again... so we can simplify it and get to the essence of Korean food. Through that, we want more people to enjoy Korean food. And because of that, I feel even more responsibility to get it right." The Michelin Guide is available for 28 cities and countries, but having now come to Korea for the first time, the local culinary community had been excited about the prospect of having Korean cuisine recognised on an international platform. But there has been some criticism that many of the choices come at too high a price point, and are not representative of local tastes. Critics stress that the Michelin Guide is just that -- a guide -- and there is much more to explore in the realm of Korean food.
