About

The royal dessert kitchen of Gyeongbokgung reopens as a tearoom: court sweets and medicinal teas recreated from the Annals, served in the palace's kitchen quarter. The 2026 edition presents storytelling tea tables built on two kings — Yeongjo's austere longevity table and Sukjong's celebratory banquet spread. Ticketed sessions; reserve ahead.
