The Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony held in Seoul on March 25th has successfully come to a close. Leading up to the event, a series of Signature Sessions were held at several restaurants across Seoul to celebrate the occasion. On March 23rd, Evett hosted a special collaboration with the team from Boragó, a renowned restaurant from Chile.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Asia’s 50 Best team, Catch Table, Chef Rodolfo, and the Boragó team who traveled all the way from Chile to Korea, as well as to all the members of the Evett team who made this event a great success. Our deepest thanks also go to the sponsors who generously provided ingredients for the event and to all the guests who joined us for this memorable evening.

Furthermore, we would like to sincerely congratulate the teams from Mingles, Onjium, Eatanic Garden, and Seventh Door for their remarkable achievements in rising through the ranks in this year’s awards.

In connection with their collaboration with Evett and their visit to Korea for the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony, the Boragó team took a trip to Baegyangsa Temple in Jangseong, Jeollanam-do, two days before the Signature Session at Evett.

Baegyangsa’s Cheonjinam is renowned for its traditional Korean temple cuisine and is where Jeong Kwan, a renowned Buddhist monk known for her mastery of temple food, resides.

Although the Boragó team did not have the opportunity to meet Jeong Kwan in person, they were able to taste and learn about various fermented pastes and extracts under her care.

This visit provided a meaningful opportunity for the Boragó team to deepen their understanding of Korea’s traditional fermentation culture and share culinary philosophies between the two cultures.

Chefs Joseph and Brin of Evett have collaborated to create the “Evett Sancho Makgeolli,” which is set to be released soon.

This unique Makgeolli is crafted using sancho, a favorite ingredient of the Evett chefs, and showcases their creative twist on Korea’s traditional rice wine. Capturing the essence of Korean sancho, this makgeolli offers a refreshing sancho aroma paired with a clean, crisp flavor.

The Evett Sancho Makgeolli will be available for a limited time only, so stay tuned and don’t miss out!
