[Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Hyun-deok] Chef Ahn Seong-jae\u2019s fine-dining restaurant, Mosu Seoul, has issued a formal apology over a \u201cwine switch\u201d controversy.<\/p>\n
On the 23rd, Mosu posted on social media: \u201cWe sincerely apologize for failing to provide clear guidance during our wine-pairing service, which caused confusion, and for not offering a sufficient explanation during our follow-up response, resulting in great disappointment.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement continued, \u201cChef Ahn Seong-jae and the entire Mosu team are taking this matter very seriously. We will review our overall service and take steps to prevent a recurrence. We won\u2019t stop at a showy apology \u2014 we will rebuild trust with our guests through genuine actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The controversy began on the 21st when a diner posted in an online community claiming they had been served a different wine than what was listed at Mosu.<\/p>\n
The group had used Mosu\u2019s wine-pairing service on the 18th at the upscale Yongsan restaurant. The service pairs each course with a carefully selected wine.<\/p>\n
The alleged switch occurred when the main course, \u201ccharcoal-grilled Korean beef,\u201d was served. The menu listed a Ch\u00e2teau L\u00e9oville Barton Saint-Julien 2000 vintage, but the restaurant served the 2005 vintage instead. The 2005 is 100,000 KRW (approximately $75) cheaper per bottle than the 2000.<\/p>\n
When the diner later noticed the change and raised the issue, a staff member reportedly responded without apologizing, saying, \u201cThen we\u2019ll let you taste the 2000 vintage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mosu Seoul opened in 2017 and was awarded Korea\u2019s only three Michelin stars in 2023. After relocating, it reopened in Itaewon last year and regained two Michelin stars this year. Dinner courses run about 420,000 KRW (approximately $315) per person. khd9987@sportsseoul.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
