Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $150 a day this sits right at the $156 median for culinary. It is cheaper than 9 of the 18 culinary options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in South Korea
- 3 other options in South Korea, starting with korean temple cuisine in Baekyangsa from $400.
- When to go
- Workable across 3 months of the year — Sep-Nov. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 2 days, but the honest range is 1 to 5. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
