의례 음식

Ceremonial food

Jesa, weddings, and first-birthday tables — food as ritual object.

Not for Instagram first

Ancestral rites set fruit, rice, and specific meats in a prescribed layout. Doljanchi (first birthday) stacks symbolic foods. You will rarely cook a full jesa abroad; you will see the logic of abundance and direction on holiday tables. Details: jesa, Seollal, Chuseok.
