Celebrate Korea’s First Full Moon Festival with Flavor and Tradition!

February brings one of Korea’s most magical celebrations: Daeboreum (대보름), the First Full Moon Festival. This holiday is all about welcoming prosperity, good health, and new beginnings—perfectly in line with the warm, communal spirit we cherish at Kimchi Restaurant.

Discover the Traditions of Daeboreum

• Taste for Good Luck: The holiday wouldn’t be complete without ogokbap (a five-grain rice) and assorted nuts. Eating these symbolic dishes is said to bring abundance and strength throughout the year.
• Wishes Under the Moonlight: In Korea, it’s a tradition to make a wish while gazing at the full moon, inviting good fortune into your life.
• Burning Bright: Villages light daljip, straw heaps or bonfires, symbolizing the burning away of bad luck and ushering in success.
