“komad†is a Nordic European dining restaurant newly opened this year by owner and chef Ko Kyung-pyol, who has worked in Sweden and Hong Kong. The interior of the store, which is decorated using leather and wood, has a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere at the same time. The signature menu is the “Marinated Mackerel Pate,†where the flesh of mackerel cooked on charcoal is mixed with miso and crème fraiche, then topped with dill powder and yuzu sauce. The flavor of mackerel, which wraps the mouth richly, combines the bitterness of dill with the sourness of yuzu, and you can enjoy a complex flavor. You can also add a crunchy texture by adding knecke bröd, a traditional Swedish bread that comes with it.

“Orzo After 8†is operated as a second brand for the Italian restaurant “Osteria Orzo.†In the dim lighting, arched windows and display cases filled with bottles and wine glasses combine to create a romantic atmosphere. The “Tukaku Korean Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio,†which is eaten by putting arugula and caramelized nuts on thinly sliced Korean beef tenderloin and cut into bite-sized pieces, is popular as an appetizer that enhances the taste. The signature menu, “Yang Ragu Pasta,†is a ragu sauce made from tomato paste and served with lamb meat that has been simmered slowly for 24 hours. Finely chopped coriander adds a subtle flavor to the tender, crunchy lamb. It is characterized by the fact that the sauce penetrates deep into the thin noodles using raw tayarin noodles.

“Mutang†is a place where you can enjoy French dishes and wines made with seasonal ingredients at reasonable prices. We want to capture the flavors of the season with fresh ingredients from production areas such as Sancheong black pork, Jeju yujeongran, and Taean oysters. The fact that the menu name was named with the ingredients contained in the food is impressive. This season's signature menu is “Pocheon duck breast, roasted sweet potato, and fermented carrots,†which is soft-cooked duck breast with roasted sweet potato puree and fermented carrots. The combination of thickly sliced, juicy and chewy duck breast and sweet roasted sweet potato puree is excellent. Carrots lightly pickled in salt water and roasted on charcoal have a fresh, pickle-like flavor that captures the fatty flavor of the meat and goes well together.

If you eat the jambong, which you said you made yourself, with bread, the wine will go beyond alcohol!

In particular, the combination of putting avocado and beets on grilled seaweed and dipping them in soy sauce is very popular because you can enjoy the taste and texture of eating tuna sashimi. It's fun to enjoy the variety of “kamameshi,†which starts cooking when orders from customers in the store are gathered, changing every day.
