Koreans are polite and hospitable. When entertaining guests, coffee, non-alcoholic drinks or barley tea are usually served to them, and sometimes appropriate sugar and light milk are added. These refreshments often need to be accepted by guests. When eating, the host always invites guests to taste some traditional drinks-low-alcohol turbid wine and sake. Turbid wine, also known as agricultural wine, used to be brewed by farmers themselves. Korean hosts often entertain guests who don't drink with persimmon juice. Persimmon juice is a traditional refreshing drink. Persimmon (pears, peaches, oranges, pomegranates and other fresh fruits are also acceptable), cinnamon powder, pine nuts, honey and ginger are boiled in water, cooled, and the residue is removed. It tastes sweet, spicy and refreshing, and is often drunk by the whole family on holidays. Some people also entertain guests from afar with traditional foods such as oil cakes, muffins and nectar.

The host invites guests to have dinner at home, usually a traditional meal. Koreans like to eat spicy food, and pepper and garlic are indispensable for staple food and non-staple food. The staple food of Koreans is mainly rice and pasta, and the favorite traditional pasta is Chili noodles and cold noodles, both of which are used.

Made of buckwheat noodles. Koreans should have a plate of hot and sour vegetables, especially hot and sour cabbage, for every meal. At a formal banquet, the first course is to hold nine different foods on nine folded plates, and then serve other dishes. Hot pot must be prepared on the table. Treat at home and serve all the dishes at once.

Business guests are usually served in restaurants or bars in the form of western food, so there are many western restaurants and Japanese restaurants in Korea. Common western fast food such as hamburgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, etc. Very popular with people. These foods make the traditional diet structure of South Korea, which mainly consists of fish, vegetables and rice, more convenient and diversified.

The internal structure of the restaurant is divided into two forms, namely, chair type and shoe-off kang type. The sitting posture of the former is roughly the same as that of China people; When eating on the kang, men sit cross-legged and women stand on their right knees-this sitting posture is only used when wearing Hanbok. Nowadays, Korean women don't wear hanbok at ordinary times, just put their legs together and sit down.

Koreans usually use stainless steel flat-headed chopsticks. Both China and Japanese have the habit of eating bowls, but Koreans regard this habit as irregular. Since this bowl is misbehaving and the left hand has nothing to do, let it go and hide it honestly under the table to prevent it from "shining" on the table. When eating, you should first pick up the spoon in your right hand, take a sip of kimchi soup, then take a bite of rice with the spoon, another bite of soup and another bite of rice. After this process is completed, you can eat whatever you want. For Koreans, spoons are more important than chopsticks. They are responsible for filling soup, fishing for soup dishes and filling rice. If the bean sprouts in the soup bowl can't be picked up with a spoon, you can't use chopsticks. This is the rule. When chopsticks are not holding vegetables, the traditional practice is to put them on the table in the right hand direction, with two chopsticks close together, two-thirds on the table and one-third outside the table, which is for the convenience of picking them up and using them again.

In terms of language, young people must use honorifics to their elders. As for food and drink, when serving or serving food, you should give it to your elders first, or even set a table separately, which will be respectfully served to them by your daughter or daughter-in-law. After the old man raises chopsticks, other people in the family can eat it. As for pouring wine on the table, we should also order it according to age, from long to young. When the elders raise their glasses, young people can drink. In addition, there is a traditional habit that men and women sit at different tables at the age of seven, and girls will not sit in the same room with any men (including fathers and brothers) after the age of seven. However, this custom has been gradually broken in big cities and occasionally seen in rural areas.

In the past, Korean families put rice containers in the center of the table, while dishes were placed in bowls and placed around. Everyone has a flat spoon with a long handle and a round head, a pair of chopsticks and a plate of cold water. When eating, they send rice directly to their mouths with spoons. Chopsticks are used to hold dishes, while cold water is used to wash spoons. The dining habits of modern Koreans have changed a lot. Many people use food plates, and everyone's food is put on the plates. Some more modern families have replaced food plates with bowls.

The Korean dining table is a low table, and the host and guest sit cross-legged on the floor. Young people will kneel on the ground in front of their elders, and never straighten their legs, otherwise it will be considered impolite. If the room is too small, you can put the dining table in the yard with a mat on it. However, modern Koreans are increasingly advocating westernization, and both table manners and food etiquette are getting farther and farther away from tradition.
