The unique flavor “bad taste†is created when fire and the oil from the ingredients meet. Unlike meat grilled in a regular frying pan, the charred flavor that can only be enjoyed at high temperatures or when grilled over an open fire has a tougher and more vibrant flavor. Let's go on a culinary journey into the magic of fire that makes even the taste buds that leave the house come back.

A small Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant. Various cuts of beef are grilled directly in a small table brazier. If you cut a marbled sirloin into thin slices, bake it, then dip it in plenty of yolk sauce covered with plenty of sardine sauce, the soft, savory flavor blends well with the subtle flavor of the meat. The signature beef tongue is also chewy yet has a nice, light flavor.

It is a gochujang samgyeopsal restaurant that is loved by office workers in this neighborhood. A new sparerib menu is also being introduced. In the corner of the store, the meat cooked over an open fire while putting smoke on it is full of the aroma of fire. The spicy seasoning makes you eat the meat continuously without getting bitten. Shishito peppers and garlic, which are baked together, are also strong reinforcements.

If you don't like it, it's a must-see place in Seoul. The smell of yakitori that continues to be grilled over a briquette fire at the entrance of the store makes it impossible to just pass through this alley. The yakitori, which is grilled using the know-how unique to the lake, is slightly charred and crispy, and the inside is very moist and tender. Seasonings with a subtle sweetness and spiciness are not applied excessively, so they do not impair the flavor of the chicken.

Even in Euljiro, famous for its many delicious places, it is a place with over 40 years of history that only serves pufferfish. The salt-grilled pufferfish menu, which is grilled over charcoal, is a delicacy. The white meat of pufferfish, which is lightly seasoned, is cooked properly by experienced staff, so it's easy to eat. The moist, ripe pufferfish meat is very chewy yet has a unique umami flavor. It is recommended that you stick to the chewy part of the shell that contains the scent first.

A famous eel and octopus specialty store in Yangjae. Toss the chewy octopus with an addictive spicy sauce and serve it on a charcoal grill. If you grill a little more on the grill on the table and eat it, the chewy octopus will dance in your mouth along with the flavor of the fire. Rice balls containing seaweed powder and flying fish roe are formed into a round shape and grilled together on a grill to become a unique delicacy. Light eels are also popular.
