I am simple. I love hospitality, and I approach every gathering as if people are coming to my home. Letting them be warm, fed, and known — that is the whole point.

The People

The recipe is
written by people

TIKITAKA is not built by a brand. It is built by people — Koreans living, creating, cooking, and connecting across the world. Chefs and ceramicists, teachers and tea merchants, nurses and founders.

Meet the People →

Every voice is another ingredient in what makes this place alive. We introduce them not as vendors or performers, but as they are: human beings with a story worth hearing.

The finest ingredient
you will ever bring to any table
is yourself.


TIKITAKA is built on the belief that hospitality — real, warm, unhurried hospitality — is the most powerful thing one person can offer another. Food matters. Community matters. But people are always, always the recipe.

What we offer

01

Workshop

Hands-on experiences where working is the excuse and connection is the point. 

02

Premium Ingredients

Carefully sourced Korean pantry staples and seasonal goods — for those who want to bring authentic flavour into their own home kitchen.

03

People & Stories

In-depth portraits of Koreans living their craft across the world — cooks, makers, builders, and everyday people with something worth hearing.

04

A Living Market

A space where individual brands grow and earn trust — where your name, not ours, is what people remember and return for.

Come as you are.
Stay for the people.

Whether you are here to cook, to shop, to read a story, or simply to feel at home for a moment — you are welcome. That has always been the whole idea.
