Gyeongbokgung Palace's Sojubang, the kitchen where meals were prepared for the king and queen of the Joseon Dynasty, was the center of royal cuisine. While the name "Sojubang" means "small kitchen," it was actually a crucial space responsible for the royal dining table. Inside the restored building, you can experience Joseon's culinary culture vividly through original cooking utensils, tableware, and replicas of dishes. The meticulously organized cooking space demonstrates the strict hygiene and orderliness of Joseon royal cuisine. A particularly captivating exhibit depicting the court ladies preparing meals is a must-see. The tranquil scenery of Gyeongbokgung Palace through the windows evokes a time travel experience. Visiting with children, you'll naturally wonder, "What did the king's food taste like?" Gyeongbokgung Palace's Sojubang offers a glimpse into the simple yet elaborate dining experience of Joseon.
