They are classified according to purity, percentage of alcohol contained, whether or not distilled, and materials used. There are largely five types: yakju (refined pure liquor fermented from rice), soju (distilled liquor), takju (thick, unrefined liquor fermented from grains), fruit wines, and medicinal wines from various seeds and roots. Each type has dozens of varieties. The famous cheongju is a yakju and the popular makgeolli is a takju. Acacia, maesil plums, Chinese quinces, cherries, pine fruits, and pomegranates are some popular ingledients in fruit wines. Insamju is a representative example of medicinal wine, made from ginseng.

Taekwondo's attack is aggressive, but at the same time the focus is more on the defense aspect. This can act positively for modern people wanting to learn Taekwondo as a way of self defense.

Brazil took the cup in the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. 2nd place was Germany, 3rd was Turkey, and 4th was Korea. Korea emerged with a record of 4 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses, becoming the first Asian nation to play in the semifinals. The Korean people came together at this unprecedented triumph, rallying en masse in the streets (City Hall and Gwanghwamun Gates were two of many gathering points) with the Red Devils at their center, showing their support. Streets flowed red from the sheer number of supporters who donned 'Be the Reds' t-shirts, throwing the World Cup Stadium and City Hall into the world limelight. Those gathering places have since become popular tourist haunts.

Introduction
Gimjang is a traditional Korean event in which kimchi is prepared for eomdong (the coldest 3 or 4 months of winter). The main ingredients of gimjang kimchi are Korean cabbage and radish.
Additional ingredients include spicy vegetables such as parsley, mustard leaf, garlic, green onion and ginger.
Pickled fish and powdered red pepper are used to give kimchi its unique flavors.
To fully enjoy its flavor, it is very important to prevent kimchi from turning sour.
Kimchi contains vitamins A, C and a number of lactic acids, which are produced as kimchi ferments. Lactic acid generates chemical reaction, which is effective to curing intestinal disorders.
In winter, vitamin C deficiency can occur because vegetable supply is quite short. Without gimjang kimchi, we would have ruined our health.
Since kimchi is so nutritious in many ways, it is called a "winter staple". This is why you can find kimchi in any region and in any household in Korea.
The making of kimchi



① Cabbage, radish, peppers, and garlic are among the ingredients used to prepare the filling for kimchi.Thin strips of radishes and scallions, minced garlic and red pepper powder are all mixed together. ② The cabbage is cut in half, salted and placed aside for one night. The following day the cabbage is rinsed well and the excess water is drained away.


③ The cabbage is then ready for the filling. The filling is evenly placed between each leaf of cabbage. ④ In order to keep all of the filling securely in the cabbage, the entire cabbage is wrapped with an outermost leaf and allowed to ferment for about 1 week.

⑤ The fermented kimchi is sliced and placed in a dish for all to enjoy.
Gimjang Season
Each big Korean city has a temporary market for gimjang when kimchi is being made at the onset of the winter season. bangadari cabbage, which is raised in bangadari on the outskirts of Seoul, is regarded as the best cabbage. Gaesung cabbage is suitable for bossam kimchi (wrapped-up kimchi) because its middle part is thin and its leaves are large. Traditional Korean families used one or two hundred head of Korean cabbages for gimjang. Nowadays, thanks to green house cultivation, vegetables are produced in all four seasons. As a result, the amount of gimjang kimchi is decreasing.
Maturing of Kimchi
Gimjang kimchi becomes the most delicious when the temperature is kept at around 5 degrees. For the best result, kimchi is preserved in the kimchi storage area and the kimchi jar is covered with a straw cushion. The jars are moved from time on the ground of the kimchi storage. The straw cushion keeps out the cold and reproduces the bacteria, which make kimchi mature. Korean farm families have individually owned their straw-fenced kimchi storage in their backyard.

Origin of Kimchi
Since human beings began cultivating, they have enjoyed vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. However, the cold winter, when cultivation was practically unavailable, led naturally to the development of a storage method- pickling. As a kind of pickled vegetables, kimchi was born in Korea around the 7th century.
Use of Hot Red Pepper Powder
At the earliest stage, kimchi was just salted vegetable, but during the 12th century they saw the appearance of a new type of kimchi with some spices and seasonings, and in the 18th century, hot red pepper finally became one of the major spices for kimchi. In particular, thanks to the introduction of cabbages in the 19th century, they witnessed the same type of kimchi as we know it today.
The Origin of the Name, Kimchi
It is suspected that the name kimchi originated from shimchae (salting of vegetable) which went through some phonetic changes: shimchae - dimchae - kimchae - kimchi.
Reasons Why Kimchi Was Developed in Korea
Few fermented vegetable foods are found worldwide. Some possible reasons why kimchi was developed as a fermented food especially in Korea are as follows: (1) vegetables were popular to the ancient people in Korea whose main industry was agriculture; (2) Koreans had a remarkable technology of slating fish which was frequently used as a seasoning; (3) Cabbages (Brassica) appropriate for making kimchi were widely grown.
Major Historical Periods of Korea
The development of kimchi is reportedly rooted in the agrarian culture that began before the era of the Three Kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula. Due to the cold Korean winter, they had to come up with the storage technology of vegetables as a means of securing food.
- Kimchi in Ancient Times
It is difficult to identify the process of development of kimchi in ancient times, as historical records of the times are barely available. We can only assume that they simply salted vegetables in order to keep them as long as possible.
- Kimchi during the Goryeo Kingdom
Though no direct records as to kimchi are found as in the previous period, cabbages are mentioned in an oriental medicine book titled Hanyakgugeupbang. There were two types of kimchi- jangajji (sliced radish preserved in soy sauce) and sunmu sogeumjeori (salted radish). In this period, kimchi began to receive new attention as a processed food enjoyable regardless of season as well as storage food for winter. It is suspected that the development of seasonings at that time enabled spicy kimchi to appear.
- Kimchi in the Joseon Period
It was after foreign vegetables, in particular, cabbages (Brassica) were introduced and used as the main material that the current type of kimchi was formed. Hot red pepper was import!ed to Korea from Japan in the early 17th century (after the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592), but it took roughly 200 years until it was actively used as an ingredient of Kimnchi. Therefore, it was only during the late Joseon that kimchi became associated with its red color.
Royal Court of Joseon

Kimchi in the Royal Court of Joseon
Normally three types of kimchi- whole-cabbage kimchi(jeotgukji), diced-radish kimchi (Kkakdugi) and water kimchi were served for the kings of Joseon. Jeotgukji for a good deal of pickled fish (e.g. croakers) was added to the kimchi. A cooking book of Joseon, Joseon massangsansik yorijebeop, explains how to make jeotgukji as follows:
First, cut well-washed cabbages and radishes into small chunks and salt them. Second, mix them with chopped hot red pepper, garlic, dropwort (minari), leaf mustards (gat) and some seaweed. Third, boil fermented fish in some water and cool it. Fourth, add it to the above blended stuffs. Fifth, store them in a pot and wait till they are fermented.

Even if the main materials of water kimchi (dongchimi) are radish and water, more garnishes were used to enhance the taste in the royal court of Joseon. The radishes used for water kimchi should be of a wholesome shape. In addition, they should be washed and salted for a day before being stored in a jar buried under ground. There is an anecdote that King Gojong, the second last king of Joseon Kingdom liked cold noodle in the dongchimi juice mixed with some beef juice as a winter-night-meal. Hence, they prepared special water kimchi with pears, which were exclusively used for the cold noodle.
- Modern Kimchi
Kimchi has been scientifically proved to be highly nutritious and recommended as a future food by many nutritionists at home and abroad. So the export of kimchi to foreign countries is rapidly increasing. Korean immigrants to China, Russia, Hawaii and Japan first introduced kimchi abroad, and have continued to eat kimchi as a side dish. It gradually gained popularity even among foreigners. Accordingly, kimchi may be found wherever Koreans live. Especially in America and Japan where relatively many Koreans live, packed kimchi is easily available. In the past, the production and consumption of kimchi was confined to Korean societies, but nowadays it has become a global food.

붕어빵/국화빵/계란빵

(Bungeo-ppang/ Gukwa-ppang/ Gyeran-ppang)

 

 

Bungeo-ppang gets its name from its fish-like shape. This sweet snack is molded in the shape of a carp, which is called 'bungeo' in Korean. A pancake batter-like shell is filled with red-bean paste and then baked; it is especially enjoyed in the winter. Gukwa-ppang is shaped like a flower and is slightly smaller than that of the similar tasting bungeo-ppang. Gyeran-ppang is also made of a pancake batter-like shell, but this is filled with an egg instead of the red bean filling.
