In Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, there is a mysterious and luxurious place hidden. Here, every feast is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a symphony of culture. When night falls, the lights gently shine on the resplendent palace, and an extraordinary state banquet is quietly unfolding. Here, food is more than just food, every bite contains a deep secret.

1. Carefully selected water source: a precious spring 180 meters underground
At the North Korean state banquet, the choice of drinking water carries a deep cultural significance, just like the careful selection of every detail of the banquet. The water does not come from ordinary sources, but from precious springs at a depth of 180 meters.
It is understood that this depth not only ensures the purity of the water, but also means that the water is rich in trace elements, which are beneficial to the human body and can replenish the minerals needed by the body.
At a grand state dinner, a foreign envoy became curious about these special sources of water. After a few sips, he couldn't help but ask the waiter, "Is this water really any different?" and there was a slight doubt in his voice, obviously curious about the peculiarity of such a seemingly ordinary water source.
The waiter was smiling, and his expression revealed a sense of pride in the country's natural resources. He replied gently, "This is a natural treasure of our country, you can know it when you taste it." His words are concise and confident, and it seems that in this simple answer there is a deep cultural heritage and a cherishing of the country's natural resources.
The foreign envoy nodded slightly, and raised his glass again to savor it. This time, there was obvious satisfaction and surprise on his face. He could feel the difference in this water - its taste was pure, there was an indescribable sweetness, as if he could directly feel the gift of nature. At this moment, he seemed to understand the waiter's words - this is indeed a precious gift from North Korea.
This episode not only gave the foreign envoys a deeper understanding of North Korea's natural resources, but also made other guests present interested in this unique water source. They began to discuss, some talking about its taste, others expressing admiration for such a deep underground water source. For a time, drinking water became an inconspicuous but fascinating topic at the state banquet.
This state banquet is not only a political and cultural event, but also a showcase of North Korea's natural resources. Every drop of spring water drawn from a depth of 180 meters below the ground is a silent reminder of the country's harmonious coexistence with nature and the cherishing and respect for natural resources.
Through such details, guests not only enjoyed delicious food, but also deepened their understanding of Korean culture and values. At the end of the banquet, when the foreign envoys left, he made a point of thanking the waiters and expressing his deep impression of the Korean state banquet.
"Tonight is not just a feast, it's a profound cultural experience," he said. "This state banquet not only shows the food culture of North Korea, but also highlights the country's respect and cherishing of nature, and this precious spring water is the perfect embodiment of this cultural concept.
2. Complex sauces: more than 30 kinds of seasoning arts
The uniqueness of the Korean state banquet is not only reflected in the exquisite dishes, but also in the rich and varied selection of sauces. Sauces play an important role in Korean cuisine, not only as a condiment for taste, but also as a carrier of culture and tradition.
At a North Korean state banquet, although the dishes were not large, a variety of sauces became the key to making up for this shortcoming. There are more than 30 types of sauces, from chili sauce to chili noodles, each with its own unique production process and flavor. Chefs in North Korea are very particular about the preparation of sauces. They believe that each sauce carries the essence of Korean culture.

As the banquet progressed, the guests were drawn to the sauces. Not only did they taste the various sauces, but they were also guided by the chef to learn about the historical and cultural significance of the sauces. North Korean sauces are like carriers of stories, telling the way of life and cultural traditions of the Korean people.
Through these sauces, guests not only enjoyed the satisfaction of their taste buds, but also deepened their knowledge and respect for Korean culture.
3. State banquet occasions: symbols of celebration and honor
The Korean State Banquet is a grand event to showcase the culture and honor of the DPRK, and its occasion is extremely special and not something that can be carried out casually.

4. Fine cooking: the fusion of meat and traditional cuisine
At the North Korean state banquet, the presentation of meat dishes is undoubtedly a feast for the eyes and the palate. From roast beef to eel jelly, each dish is the result of the delicate handling of food by North Korean chefs who have elevated cooking to the level of art.
North Korean chefs are very particular about the selection and handling of meat. An experienced North Korean chef said in preparing the state dinner, "Our aim is to make every dish a work of art. "The beef they use comes from specific farms to ensure it's tender and juicy.
When processing meat, chefs carefully remove excess fat and fascia, leaving the best parts of the meat to ensure that the resulting dish is both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. During the preparation of roast beef, the chefs cut the beef to just the right thickness and marinate it with a special marinade.
These marinades include not only traditional salt and pepper, but also some characteristic spices and condiments that are unique to Korean cooking. When grilled, each piece of beef needs to be precisely timed over the fire to achieve perfect doneness, with an attractive golden brown on the surface and still juicy on the inside.
Eel jelly is a more delicate dish. Making eel jelly involves a complex process that involves selecting fresh, plump eels, then marinating and cooking them for a long time before they are frozen into shape. Eel jelly has a delicate texture and delicious taste, and is a delicacy at state banquets.
