Kimchi Kulture 2026, Kerala's first pan-Asian food festival, took place at Kochi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium from April 10-12, 2026. The three-day festival showcased authentic cuisines from Malaysia, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, featuring Korean BBQ, sushi, and ramen alongside lifestyle stalls and interactive workshops.

The event reflects Kochi's growing fascination with East Asian culture, fueled by Gen Z's obsession with K-drama, Anime, and C-drama. Kerala's food scene just got more global.
