When fall comes, “gizzards†must be eaten. When it's in season, gizzards are full of fat, and have an extraordinary flavor. Starting with gizzard sashimi, where you can enjoy gizzards in the freshest way, gourd sauce with a sweet and spicy sauce that enhances the taste, and grilled gourd that makes your sister-in-law come back even after leaving the house! Here are 5 of the best gizzard restaurants in the country that you'd be afraid to eat in the fall.
1. Fresh, 'Wangsimni Jeon Eo Village' in Wangsimni, Seoul

[Shikigami Tip]
â–²Location: 12-1 Muhak-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
▲Opening hours: 15:00 — 23:00 every day
â–²Price: Whole fish (medium) 25,000 won, grilled gourd 35,000 won
â–²Testimonial (shikigin foot socks): I went to another place and came in because there were a lot of people! The goose came in because its eggs were big. First of all, the tuna sauce is on the large side. The sweetness comes from grating it with rice, so it's a perfect fit. The grilled gourd was also greasy and savory.
2. The aroma that spreads as you chew, 'Brother Sashimi' in Jungni-dong, Daejeon

â–²Testimonial (Madonna Sheep Stocking): If you pack it here and eat it, it's quite filling! Normally, I used to eat it as a platter, but this time I tried it with both the sauce and the grilled gourd, and it was plump and delicious! In winter, yellowtail is also full of fat, so it's so delicious.

The grilled gourd was also grilled until golden brown, and it was delicious even if you chewed it on the head! I highly recommend it!

▲Opening hours: 11:30 — 21:30 every day
â–²Price: Gourd set (2 people) 50,000 won, gizzard sashimi (medium) 40,000 won
â–²Review (Shikigami Saturday Night): Soho-dong Daepung Wacha is a Yeosu steamed restaurant. This aquarium is full of real goose in the fall. I ordered the whole set for 5 people, and everything from sashimi to sauce and grill came out very well. Sashimi is sprinkled with perilla, so it's savory and delicious when eaten with onions.
5. The appeal of plump meat, 'Eating Island' in Eumnae-dong, Seosan

â–²Location: 27-1 Buchun 3-ro, Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do
▲Opening hours: 09:00 — 23:00 every day (business hours can be changed flexibly when booking)
â–²Price: Grilled hake 35,000 won, grilled conger eel (1 kg) 55,000 won
▲Testimonial (Shikigami ♥ Full Heart ♥): This is a conger eel restaurant, but it's fall season, so they also sell gizzards. The gourd has a scabbard and is moist and cooked all the way to the inside, and the grains are quite large. The conger eel soup also has a cool soup, so the shochu is quickly emptied.
