I just got back from Seoul this week, what an inspiring trip. The Lotte hotel where we did the series of dinners is a stunning hotel definately one of the grandest in Korea.One of the highlights of the trip had to be a trip to a Fugu restaurant-Fukuchan, the restaurant is fifteen seats and is owned by its 33 year old chef Mr Cho, he and his sous chef take on all duties front and back of house. They serve Fugu in all its forms-12 courses the night I was there, the most mind blowing was a cup of hot sake which the chef dropped the toasted pectoral fins of the Fugu and local Korean red Ginseng. The live sea cucumbers were something I had not used in New York before, we made a tempura of them for a salad of local Korean geumgyul (like a kumquat). 
The picture above is of the said Cucumber, this is how it is sold live in sea water at the local supermarket.They are caught off the east coast of Korea in heavily alginated water. Locals preferer sashimi style with salted sesame oil and Korean style miso.Plenty of ideas for the new restaurant!
Great stuff, Chef!
Thanks for the report and hoping there more pix!
Best to you
Ted
