Seoul itelf does not produce many kinds of food resources. However, various cooking ingredients were available to get in Seoul since it had been the capital of the nation and the center of commerce.

In fact, Seoul cuisine is renowned for its elegance and variety. Seoul, Gaeseong, and Jeonju are the three top cities in Korea known for their exquisite cuisine. Being the capital of the country for over 500 years since the early Joseon dynasty, the cooking style of the dynasty still remains on cusines of Seoul.

In general, Seoul foods are seasoned moderately.Therefore, they are not too salty or spicy. Many of the royals and the nobility lived here during the Joseon dynasty, and the tradition of the noble class is persistent in Seoul cuisine. Compared to those of other regions, Seoul foods tend to be fancier and their presentation shows more formality.

Seasonings were used as finely diced. Foods from the northern provinces are large in quantity and simple in display. As compared with that foods from Seoul consider their polish style than quantity in large. The court cuisine was spread to noble households, and Seoul foods still show the traces of the court cuisine. For example, banga, the noble class, has its own cooking style as a part of Seoul cusine.
