Vegan Culture in Korea


A Complete Guide On Vegan Eateries And Cafes In Korea

Korea is not your #1 meat consuming nation. Korea eats 50% of what the US consumes and 80% of the OECD average. However, it's hard to find authentic vegan food in Korea. Why is that?

First, Korean people use meat to give flavour to the food. Korean people call it yuksoo and even naengmyeon (Korean cold noodles) and doenjang stew (bean paste stew) that doesn't have meat, all use yuksoo from meat or fish.

Also, the most well known Korean foods are all meat cuisine. Chimaek (Chicken and beer), Korean barbeque, bulgogi are all meat menus. If you go on a gathering with fellow workers or students, you'll go to a barbeque restaurant and won't be able to find a vegan menu.

However, as more people become aware of the natural environment, and animal rights, awareness of veganism in Korea is continually rising. Following this trend, more vegan specialized restaurants are gaining popularity.
