Autumn paints Korea in red and gold. Savor chestnuts, persimmons, and lantern festivals under crisp skies.
Korean cuisine — healthy, seasonal, and globally loved. Discover the best foods for every season.
September marks the beginning of clam season. Short-necked clams are sweet and tender, often steamed or boiled in a light broth, or grilled with garlic and soy. The sweet meat and briny juice are quintessentially seaside autumn.
Loach is a small, delicate white fish that begins its best season in September. Mild and slightly sweet, it's often grilled whole, fried, or added to soups. The tender flesh and subtle flavor make it a favorite autumn comfort food.
Early-season autumn mackerel is rich, oily, and deeply flavorful. The dark flesh is packed with omega-3s and has a distinctive taste that's more intense than summer fish. Grilled simply with salt, it's one of autumn's greatest pleasures.
September apples are crisp, sweet, and juicy – the beginning of the harvest season. Korean apples are known for their perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, and their satisfying crunch. A symbol of autumn, apples mark the transition to cooler weather.
September pears are the sweetest and most refreshing of the season. Large, juicy, and delicately aromatic, they have a crisp flesh that practically melts on the tongue. Koreans often peel and slice them, enjoying the cool, hydrating sweetness.
Songpyeon are delicate half-moon rice cakes traditionally eaten during Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). Filled with sesame, beans, chestnut, or red bean paste, and often topped with pine needles for aroma, they're soft, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting. Making them is a beloved family ritual.
