Join the Korea Chefs Association for the upcoming 9th Jeju Local Cuisine Tasting Competition and Worldchefs International Culinary Competition!
“Despite its relatively short history, the 9th Jeju Local Cuisine Tasting Competition has grown into South Korea’s premier international culinary event, thanks to the unwavering support of the local government and the dedication of the Jeju community in hosting this prestigious event.
The host location, Jeju Island, is not only blessed with breathtaking volcanic landscapes but also offers a diverse selection of fresh ingredients sourced directly from both land and sea. This unique combination allows for the creation of dishes that beautifully blend tradition and modernity.
Jeju is more than just a destination—it is an experience. By seeing, hearing, tasting, and feeling the essence of Jeju firsthand, you will discover what makes this place truly special.
We invite you to showcase your culinary expertise at the 9th Jeju Traditional Cuisine Evaluation & WACS International Culinary Competition, taking place on October 31, 2025. This will be an opportunity to demonstrate your passion and skills while immersing yourself in Jeju’s stunning natural beauty and rich food culture.”
– Kim Jeaong-hak, President of the Korea Chefs Association
