From August 15 to 24, a new edition of the Week of Korean Cuisine 2025 arrives, a federal gastronomic circuit that this year has a special meaning: to celebrate 60 years of Korean immigration in Argentina. More than 20 restaurants in Buenos Aires, Salta, El Calafate, Mar del Plata and other cities invite you to discover the best of hansik (Korean cuisine) through dishes created especially for this occasion.
Korean Cuisine Week begins in Buenos Aires from August 15 to 24 in more than 20 restaurants in the country.
In the Korean worldview, turning 60 is a transcendental moment and this stage is called hwangap (환갑). It is very important because it marks the closing of a complete lunar cycle and the beginning of a new life. Therefore, this edition of Korean Cuisine Week 2025 is experienced as a rebirth.
