‍

‍

Their Coffee Pairing Course, also known as Coffee Omakase, priced at 42,000 KRW, introduces guests to Korean-inspired desserts paired with artisanal drinks. Alternatively, you can opt for individual signature dishes and drinks priced at 18,500 KRW.

‍

This season, Perlen unveils its latest concept: Korea to the Table, showcasing desserts infused with traditional Korean ingredients and flavors.

‍

Here's what you'll find on the menu:

‍

Hanbok

Peach tuile with raspberry mousse and cherry blossom nougat glaze, paired with hot hand drip coffee.

The dessert, inspired by the cherry blossoms of spring in Korea, is reminiscent of the delicate silk fabric from which Hanboks (한복), traditional Korean attire, are traditionally made.

‍

Onggi

‍Dried persimmon fruit, buckwheat mousse, walnuts, and crushed pine nuts, paired with omija sujeonggwa.

Onggi (옹기) is a traditional Korean earthenware vessel used for storing and fermenting various foods such as kimchi, soybean paste, and soy sauce. This dessert evokes the feeling of fall in Korea and a cozy family setting in the countryside.

‍

Giwa

‍Black sesame mousse, riz au lait, brown rice crunch, and raspberry, paired with whisky dutch.

Inspired by traditional Korean architecture, the exterior of this intricate dessert resembles a "Giwa" (기와), which is a traditional roofing material.

‍

If you're seeking a unique experience where you can indulge in exceptional desserts and drinks in Seoul, don't miss out on trying this pairing course amidst the sophisticated and cozy ambiance of Perlen.
