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.

Le Hall Jungmyeongjeon est situé à côté du théâtre Chongdong. On peut y accéder facilement en longeant le mur de pierre du Palais Deoksugung. Ce bâtiment de trois niveaux de style occidental, conçu par l’architexte russe Seredin Sabatin, a accueilli la bibliothèque impériale entre 1897 et 1901. Il était connu à l’origine sous le nom de Suokheon.

Après l’incendie du Palais Deoksugung, le Hall Jungmyeongjeon est devenu le bureau principal de l’empereur Gojong pour y discuter des affaires nationales et y accueillir les dignitaires étrangers. Ce bâtiment a également été le témoin des heures les plus tragiques de l’histoire, avec la signature de l’infâme traité de Eulsa, instaurant le protectorat entre le Japon et la Corée.

Le Hall Jungmyeongjeon se trouvait à l’origine dans l’enceinte du Palais Deoksugung, mais il a été ensuite séparé du palais lorsqu’un mur de pierre a été construit entre les deux. Il présente un style architectural coréen moderne, mais malheureusement, il a perdu une grande partie de sa structure originale à l’exception de son extérieur à cause d’un incendie en 1925. Après la libération du joug japonais le 15 août 1945, le Hall Jungmyeongjeon a eu différents usages. En septembre 2006, la propriété du Hall Jungmyeongjeon est passée à l’Administration des Biens Culturels, et il a été classifié comme appartenant au Palais Deoksugung en tant que Site Historique n° 124 en février 2007.

Besides, the noodles and dumplings are hand-made. Despite the restaurants long history, the building of the restaurant is clean and well-maintained as it was being rebuilt after a fire in the 1980s. There are plenty of tables on the first and second floors to accommodate customers, and the third floor is reserved for large groups.

Jirisan Restaurant (지리산)

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.
