Although “seasonal†has disappeared due to the development of houses and aquaculture technology that can be cultivated all year round, it is a fact that everyone knows that the ingredients that come out at the right time are still the best. As the sun shines longer day by day, corn, which has a sweet flavor engraved inside using it as a nutrient, tastes best when eaten during the summer season. The fun texture of ripe corn kernels that pop when you bite into them also plays a part in their popularity. What if you only enjoy eating delicious corn by boiling it? Let's pay attention to the infinite transformation of corn recommended by users in the SNS Taste Appraisal Group today.
1. “Samsong Bakery,†a corn bread known as drug bread
Each region has famous bakeries representing the region, such as Sungsimdang in Daegu, Hwawoldang in Suncheon, and Pungnyeon Confectionery in Jeonju. Even in Daegu, the city of food, there is a bakery that has been loved by the citizens of Daegu for a long time. This is Samsong Bakery. The representative bread of this place is corn bread, nicknamed “drug bread .†Soft bread covered with a thin layer of soboru contains corn mixed with sweet sauce. This bread, which has a sweet smell that irritates the nose from the entrance of the store, is attractive because of the corn grains that pop as you chew them and the sweet yet savory sauce. Like the nickname drug bread, it's a taste that comes to mind over and over again.

2. A bowl of corn noodles with yakitori 'Kyungseong Yangyakitsi'
If you go to Kyungseong Yakitori, which has many branches all over the country, there is a menu where you put one in front of each table. It's corn noodles. The characteristic of corn noodles is that the noodles are made from corn and have a yellow color, and the texture is chewy yet savory. The soup has a refreshing and cool flavor that goes well with the flavor of the noodles. Corn noodles show their value when eaten with yakitori, and if you eat corn noodles at the timing you feel when eating yakitori, the feeling disappears, and you can enjoy yak skewers again.
3. “Susubah,†a sorghum cone that is fun to eat
Aren't all corn the same? A new drug called corn appeared in the dessert market by breaking that idea. This drug corn is sold at Susubar, located in Gyeongridan-gil, Itaewon. Soba sells “sorghum corn,†which is made by grilling corn and putting it on a skewer, and it comes in three flavors: butter, onion, and spicy. The smell of corn baked in butter is a perfect match no matter when you smell it. It's nice to be able to easily enjoy corn at an affordable price. You can eat it with a glass of beer on a hot summer day.

4. The corn kernels are thick! High-grade jiju? “Dak Dabang's corn creamâ€
Dak Dabang is a dessert shop inspired by Baek Jong-won, the hottest person in Korea. It is a place famous for selling large quantities of coffee at a reasonable price. On hot summer days, the outside of the store is always crowded with people who want to take out coffee and sweets. Ice cream made with corn as the main ingredient is one of the popular dishes here. The corn kernels are filled with soft ice cream and are sprinkled with crunchy cereal. It also contains crunchy ice, so the feeling of coolness is multiplied. The salty and savory flavor of corn and the refreshing and sweet soft ice cream make a fantastic combination.
5. The drug corn “Dalsuda†that I'm constantly attracted to
Dalsuda is another restaurant that sells narcotic corn with a truly addictive flavor! Located in Hongdae, this place sells a variety of desserts along with shaved water. The spacious and cool store relieves the fatigue of the summer heat as soon as you enter. Dalsuda's narcotic corn is lightly roasted corn sprinkled with plenty of Parmesan cheese powder. Cheese powder coated on the outside of the corn, fresh cream, and chili powder were added to the plate so that it could be eaten in a variety of ways. If you cut the corn kernels with a knife served together and sprinkle a little lemon juice on them, you will have a corn dessert that is perfect not only in appearance but also in flavor.
