This restaurant is a showcase for Inje’s celebrated culinary offering: Grilled Dried Pollack. The pollack is prepared through a natural drying process in the brisk winter winds, which gives it a salty flavor and a satisfying chewy texture. This makes it a popular choice as both an accompaniment to drinks and as a side dish on Korean dining tables. Here, it is grilled to perfection with a coating of red pepper paste, offering a flavorful experience with a reduced fishy smell and a delightful sweet and tangy taste. Also featured on the menu are the Soft Bean Curd Set Menu and the Wild Vegetable Bibimbap. The soft and warm bean curd, along with bibimbap—a harmonious mix of freshly-grown wild vegetables from Gangwon State topped with spicy red pepper paste—each provide a nutritious wholesome meal.
