Participants will experience the very Korean-style menu of a Michelin 3 starred Korean cuisine ‘Gaon’ along with HWAYO. On March 27th, the event will be held at the Waialae Country Club for local residents, and on 29th, at MW restaurant for local partied concerned. Cho Tae-kwon, the CEO of HWAYO, and Lucia Cho, the CEO of Gaon Society of Food Service Division, will attend the events and introduce HWAYO to the local residents.

Using HWAYO 41 as a cocktail base, two tasteful cocktails will be presented to introduce the excellence of Korean liquor; the bittersweet ‘Hong(紅_red)’ and the ‘Gold Stone’ with nuts and flower scent.

Having caused a stir in the liquor industry by announcing the splendid rebirth of Korean traditional Soju, HWAYO leads the Korean hard liquor market and is rapidly emerging to become a favorite alcoholic beverage for those who love to drink as well as the young people. KwangJuYo is the only Korean food culture company that has been leading the Korean-style culture by introducing the concept of ‘globalization of Korean cuisine’ to Korea and the world for the first time. There is a strong belief that the world will learn about the excellence of Korean food culture through high-quality Korean porcelain tableware(KwangJuYo) which is combined with excellent unique dishes(Korean cuisine restaurant Gaon, Bicena) and fine liquor(HWAYO).
