    About the event

    Korean home cooking from Matko

    SŌHN x Matko: Korean Tasting Party centers on Korean home cooking from Matko, described as Ina Lee’s love letter to the food she grew up eating. The tasting evening includes bulgogi, japchae, kimchi, and more, with house sauces along the way.

    The event is built as a standing tasting evening, and the description says guests will eat and drink their way through curated dishes and Matko specialties. That makes the format clear: this is a guided tasting rather than a seated dinner.

    Drinks, stories, and take-home soup

    Korean beer, soju, and makgeolli are listed as drink pairings. The evening also includes stories from Ina Lee about the food and what it means to her, and it ends with Matko’s signature Hangover Soup for guests to take home.

    The event notes that no tasting substitutions are offered. It also says all ages are welcome, while drink pairings are for guests 21 and older.

    Hosts and place in San Francisco

    Ina Lee is identified as Matko’s founder and CEO and as the featured guest speaker and chef. SŌHN is the organizer, and both SŌHN and Matko are named as hosts of the event.
