I've always wanted to go and finally had the opportunity to visit this time. First, I tried the Korean ginseng liquor, as I am able to drink alcohol. Unlike the trendy playful Korean dishes, here you can experience authentic Korean cuisine. The variety of banchan dishes brought to the table was impressive, truly giving off a Korean cuisine vibe. It feels like you are being treated well, which is very nice. The dishes included: White Kimchi, Korean Seaweed Tsukudani, Japchae, Zucchini Namul, Myoga Namul, Bean Sprout Namul, Korean Ginseng Sashimi, Miyazaki Blue Crab Gejang, Jeon, Radish Jorim, and Abalone Juk steamed in alcohol.
The impression that Korean food is spicy disappears with the gentle seasoning of the dishes. While Kimchi and Blue Crab Gejang have a kick, it is not overpowering but rather a refined spiciness that allows you to taste the sweetness and umami. My family, who loves sweets, was thrilled. Especially, the Abalone Juk, Japchae, Korean Seaweed Tsukudani, and Gejang were outstanding.
Next was the barbecue with Tejikalbi. The staff prepared marinated pork ribs in sauce and grilled and sliced them for us. There was a generous amount of meat that didn't lead to any arguments. The sauce had a combination of soy sauce, gochujang, and a fruity sweetness, making the meat tender. We enjoyed wrapping the meat in lettuce.
The manager recommended a special way to eat by dipping the Gejang sauce from earlier. It was incredibly delicious. I resisted the rice and moved on to the main dish, Samgyetang. A whole chicken stuffed with Korean ginseng and glutinous rice was simmered and served. It was perfect for the upcoming cold weather, but also luxurious to enjoy in the air-conditioned restaurant. While I wouldn't eat it in the summer, it's great for stamina. The nutritious ingredients are said to be good for colds, fatigue, and recovery.
My stomach was full, no guilt, and I had a healthy meal. We ended with Matcha Ice Cream and Corn Tea. They also included a Premium Makgeolli for those who can drink alcohol, which seemed very appealing. The raw Makgeolli is constantly fermenting, so you have to drink it bit by bit to prevent it from overflowing. The limited imported quantity makes it a lucky find.
As a souvenir, I received a bottle of Korean Seaweed Tsukudani that I had just enjoyed, all included for 11,000 yen. It's amazing. I will definitely come back again.
