The restaurant serves original full-course Korean meals that are prepared using hundreds of kinds of wild vegetables, including special seasonal vegetables.
A typical full-course meal starts with delicious pumpkin porridge, followed by seasoned wild vegetables, root vegetable ssam (condiments wrapped in vegetable leaves), slices of boiled meat, and steamed lotus leaf-wrapped rice served with jjigae (Korean stew) and various side dishes. This kind of traditional feast is pleasing to both the eye and the palate and is topped off with sikhye (traditional sweet rice drink). Lunch specials are also available.

Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.
Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.
Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).
One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.
The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

Palacio Gyeonghuigung (경희궁)
1.4Km 2025-05-13
Saemunan-ro 45, Jongno-gu, Seúl.
Hacia finales de la época de Joseon, el palacio Gyeonghuigung fue considerado como un palacio secundario del monarca; y por su ubicación, hacia el oeste (seo, en coreano) de Seúl, en ocasiones fue nombrado como Seogwol (Palacio del Oeste).
El palacio secundario era el lugar en donde el rey se refugiaba en momentos de emergencia. Desde Injo a Cheoljong, aproximadamente 10 reyes de la dinastía Joseon pasaron algún momento de sus vidas en este palacio. Fue construido respetando el relieve de las montañas que lo rodeaban, por lo que posee una belleza tradicional en su arquitectura y un gran significado histórico. Hubo tiempos en los que tenía una dimensión enorme, por lo que se tuvo que levantar un puente con forma de arco para conectarlo con el palacio Deoksugung. Para la audiencia real, estaban los edificios Sungjeongjeon y Jajeongjeon; y como cuartos privados, los edificios Yungbokjeon y Hoesangjeon. Sumaban un total de aproximadamente 100 edificios de distinto tamaño dentro del palacio. Sin embargo, gran parte del palacio fue derrumbada y dañada por la invasión japonesa de 1908.
Hoy en día, la puerta principal del palacio, Heunghwamun, es utilizada como la puerta de acceso al Hotel Shilla.
Cerca del palacio Gyeonghuigung se encuentra el Museo de Historia de Seúl, la calle Jeongdong y la siempre abarrotada calle Jong-ro. Una vez que haya recorrido Gyeonghuigung, puede cruzar la calle Jeongdong y caminar hacia el palacio Deoksugung. El camino del muro de piedra del palacio Deoksugung está considerado como uno de los más elegantes de la ciudad.
