Warm peaches and salty prosciutto on pizza—tempted? That combination appeared in a preview of Sejong Osik (세종오식), a two-day, one-night food trip. 1 In Financial News, the reporter described the cooked peach’s gentle sweetness as pairing well with the prosciutto’s saltiness. 1
The program counts five food experiences: lunch, a cafe stop, dinner, an alcohol pairing and a traditional-market feast, with hotel breakfast additional to those five. 1 That leaves plenty to be curious about beyond the pizza.
Peaches at the dinner table
The preview’s dinner and alcohol pairing took place at an Italian restaurant in Eojin-dong (빠스타스 by 파인드파인), which incorporates Sejong’s seasonal ingredients and changes its menu with the seasons. 1 Alongside the Jochiwon peach and prosciutto pizza, the table featured Sejong fig salad, bisque rosé pasta and abalone risotto with gamtae seaweed. 1
The peach offers a delicious connection between stops: Financial News also found Jochiwon peaches, identified as a regional specialty, among the produce at Sejong Traditional Market. 1 In the restaurant, that local fruit became part of an Italian dish; at the market, it appeared among the seasonal fruit for sale. 1 These are two ways into the same ingredient, whether your curiosity starts with a pizza topping or a produce stall.
Korean alcohol from Baekgyeong Distillery (백경증류소) accompanied the Italian meal. 2 The Sports Donga reporter described fruit-like aromas and flavors in Baekgyeong 15 Gold and compared the impression to white wine, despite its being made only with rice, nuruk and water. 2 The fruit comparison was a tasting impression, rather than a statement that fruit went into the drink. 2
Ribs, then a view
The preview began at Sanjang Garden (산장가든) in Yeonseo-myeon with seokgalbi: marinated pork ribs grilled before serving and brought to the table on a heated stone platter. 1 Diners don’t need to grill the meat themselves, and the platter keeps it warm while they eat. 1 That sounds like an inviting start to lunch.
The cafe stop in Naseong-dong (카페 플레저) brought the group to the building’s 49th floor for views across Sejong. 1 Financial News lists iced Americanos, ube lattes and Greek yogurt among the drinks and treats there. 1 An ube latte with that view sounds tempting.
What would you bring to the shared table?
For the final food experience, participants visited Sejong Traditional Market (세종전통시장) in Jochiwon’s old downtown, bought food with provided Onnuri vouchers and pooled their purchases at a nearby cafe. 1 Groups coordinated categories such as appetizers, mains, sides and desserts beforehand to reduce duplication. 1
At Hwayang Yeonhwa cafe (카페 화양연화), their purchases became a spread that included dumplings, mung-bean pancakes, chicken, sundae and hotteok. 1 The restaurant meal showcased the kitchen’s seasonal choices, while this feast let participants build the menu through their own shopping—a complementary way to explore Sejong’s food. 1
A compact planning note: the July announcement scheduled five Sejong Osik departures beginning in September 2026, with four-star hotel accommodation included, and distinguished it from the separate day program Sejongui Siktak. 3 The dishes above describe a preview, and the restaurant’s seasonal menu means that account shouldn’t be treated as a promise of peach pizza on every departure. 1
For your imaginary contribution to the shared table, would you choose dumplings or mung-bean pancakes?
