ABOUT SGD

SoGong-Dong, a small county of central Seoul, is a Korean historical place where princess Kyoung- Jung, a second daughter of King Tae Jong had resided. In this historical spot, there are several well known Korean cultural properties such as Sungnyemun.

Sungnyemun, the first National Treasure of South Korea, is one of the Eight Gates and it was built to protect the palace in Joseon Dynasty. We, SGD, believe that Sungnyemun is especially meaningful to Korean. Our flower symbol was inspired by Sungnyemun's floral design, and its color of gold represents SoGong-Dong's royal history. Inspired by Sogong- Dong's history, our mission is to convey Korean tradition and spirits to the world through our dishes.
