Since ancient times, “kamameshi†has been one of the foods served when serving precious customers in Korea. The kamameshi made by carefully adjusting the temperature and heat has a warm warmth. Recently, kamameshi, which can be packed with both flavor and nutrition, has been attracting attention in the restaurant industry. It feels like eating a single dish by putting rice, seafood, meat, and vegetables together in a stone pot. Don't miss the sunnyoku, which is made by removing the rice from the kamameshi and then pouring hot water. It's a good idea to finish the meal with a delicious savory soup. Here are 5 of the best kamameshi restaurants that will fill your heart.

“Chori Sanggyeong†uses Yeongho delicacies from Naju, a top-grade rice variety, and you can feel the chewy stickiness of the rice grains. The signature menu is “salmon kamameshi,†in which salmon marinated in soy sauce is grilled over an open flame and placed on top of rice. It comes with 4 side dishes and soup, including giblets, seaweed, and white kimchi. If you wrap rice, salmon, or wasabi on top of seaweed, the refreshing, savory flavor is appealing.
