Park Hyatt Seoul promotes 'The Art of Taste'
Park Hyatt Seoul's The Lounge presents a special dinner with the theme of 'The Ark of Taste,' a global project of preserving valuable specialties and cultural cuisines at risk of being forgotten.
Park Hyatt Seoul has chosen five ingredients registered on 'The Ark of Taste' -- Jeju green soybeans, Jeju traditional pork, blue abalone, agar-agar weed and pheasant yeot -- to create this high-quality dinner menu.
Starting from April 20 and continuing to June 5, this exclusive multi-course menu can be enjoyed for dinner every day from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and is priced at 90,000 won ($85), including tax. No service charge applies.
The Ark of Taste is a worldwide campaign begun in 1996 by Italy's Slow Food Foundation, which identifies traditional ingredients and heritage cuisine, helping regional agricultures by drawing attention to the risks of extinction.
