Why here
Ferments is a Yongsan vegan restaurant and natural-wine bar built around fermentation — hummus, vegan pizza, and a fermented vegan tomato ramyeon anchor a menu paired with natural wines and house kombucha. It sits about 8 minutes on foot from Yongsan Station, runs both CatchTable bookings and walk-in seating, and has become one of the more written-up vegan spots in the neighborhood since opening.
