In writing this column, I get the most feedback from readers after I write about specific Korean foods during my travels back to South Korea.

There are many "Drama Tours" to Korea from Hawaii, and many Korean drama fans have already visited Korea — a few on several occasions. I would like to put together a "Foodie Tour" to Korea this autumn.

Of all the four seasons in Korea, autumn brings about a variety of foods that are exciting to sample. For one thing, seasonal food in Hawaii is a rare thing, as most types of food are shipped over frozen, and getting really fresh items is hard to come by unless locally grown.

I am planning to do a food tour of South Korea starting in Seoul, then traveling throughout the peninsula and eating regional cuisine that is in season. A tour from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3 is priced at $3,700, including air, transportation, hotel, ground transportation and three meals a day. The tour is limited to a maximum of 45, as most of the restaurants we plan to attend are often not ballroom sized and instead very quaint. We will also do a few drama site visits, such as the Shilla Millenium Park in Kyong Ju where the drama "Queen Seon Deok" was filmed.

I will personally be on the tour along with a professional guide, visiting various regions of South Korea tasting really great Korean food. The tour stresses quality, not quantity, and a genuine experience. You will also have a taste of the various styles of kim chee in different regions.

Have you ever had live king crab or snow crab, freshly steamed and served to eat? We will. And if Jun-ju province bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables) is considered the best in Korea, don't eat it in Seoul; we will go to Jun-ju.

How about Un Nyang bulgogi, or one of my favorites, blowfish soup, in Busan?How about fresh sashimi, Dong-rae seafood and green onion pancakes (where it originated), a vegetarian meal with so many side dishes that the entire table will be full, or fresh grilled fish? Oysters will be in season, as will blue pincher crab just fat with meat that you can have as a spicy stew or raw (soy marinade or spicy marinade).

How about some oxtail soup with freshly made kim chee? Most often, food prices in Seoul are higher versus the other regions so this tour concept is to get to the source for the best and freshest we can find.

This is not a KBFD planned tour but a personal project as I love food and want to share this opportunity with others who have interest in the Korean culture. Everyone asks me where I go for Korean food; I tell them Korea. The weather will be very cool, and autumn is the best time to visit Korea.
