Talk and Taste: An Exploration of Late Night Eating and Drinking in Asia with Bessou and Local Roots
After a night of drinking, the tradition of late-night eating in many Asian cities is an important part of the region’s food culture. In Japan, izakaya bars offer fried snacks, rice bowls, grilled meats, and seafood designed to soak up alcohol. In Korea, the word “yasik,” meaning “food eaten in the middle of the night after dinner” refers to comforting and spicy soups, grilled and fried proteins, and other satisfying treats that can be found in night-markets and late-night diners. “Siu Yeh,” meaning “midnight snack” in Cantonese, reflects the culture of indulgence that takes place in many cities in China where street hawkers and diners stay open well past midnight for hungry revelers. Inspired by these kinds of casual but thoughtfully crafted foods and the drinks that accompany them, Local Roots founder Wen-Jay Ying and Bessou Founder Maiko Kyogoku and chef Elena Yamamoto along with Little Banchan Shop are coming together to create an experience that transports attendees to the late-night diners, markets, and pubs across Asia. Because the food is designed for imbibers, a variety of beverages including Baijiu from Ming River, Soju from Hana Makgeolli, and cocktails with Kanosuke Whiskey will be perfectly paired.
