The year of 2019 (Year of Jihai) was brightly bright. This year is the year of the Golden Pig coming back after 60 years. It is expected that people's interest in pork will be as high as ever. Among them, “samgyeopsal,†known as Korean soul food, is always a very popular menu. Samgyeopsal is loved by many for its rich aroma and rich flavor with an appropriate ratio of lean meat and fat. The browned pork belly is delicious on its own, but you can enjoy a richer flavor by adding a variety of side dishes that add flavor, such as oil sauce, green onion sauce, and yellowtail sashimi. A feast on a sizzling fire! Let's go on a tour of samgyeopsal restaurants all over the country!

I was applauded for the taste of the meat I tried myself, and I felt happy the whole time I ate it. It was hard to find a place that tasted kimchi noodles, but it was really cool and easy to taste, and they grilled the meat themselves, and they were kind and explained to me, so please go!!!!.
