â–²Review (): This is a restaurant where you can eat really good octopus. Side dishes are also often served. There are five or six types of cabbage on the outside, including cucumber, kimchi, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. Wrapping bean sprouts and tots on the outside of Chinese cabbage with octopus is a delicacy.

â–²Review (Shikigin Wi-Fi 135): There are many stir-fried octopus dishes, but I think this is the first time I've seen a hot pot. In addition to mushrooms and leeks, octopus also comes with eggs and goji. If you cook it yourself and eat it, it's fragrant, sweet, and very tasty. Even if you just wrap sesame leaves and eat them, you don't need anything else, it's great.
5. Marbling and fantastic harmony, Asan Myeongam-ri 'Tangjeonggjip Zukkumi'

â–²Testimonial (What is the son of Shikigami doing?) : The appeal of this restaurant is that you can enjoy octopus with meat. You can eat it with marbled rice or pork belly, but personally, the savory marbled fish and octopus go great together. There were no rough turns, and the amount of octopus was quite plentiful. If you put chives, octopus, and marzipan leaves in sesame leaves and eat them with mayonnaise sauce, it's amazing.
