The world's largest kimchi mecca

GwangjuKimchi Town

Since 1994, the Gwangju Kimchi Culture Festival has been held every year to lay the foundation for an international kimchi mecca and promote the tradition and excellence of kimchi from the southern province at home and abroad.
As part of the globalization of Korean food, the World Institute of Kimchi was invited to further research and develop our traditional fermented food, kimchi, with the aim to diversify the quality and contribute to the tradition and value of Korean kimchi.
