Our Visit

* The following is translated by AI.

Today, I visited 'JINJAK KAKII' located at Anguk Station. 'JINJAK KAKII' is a trendy Korean restaurant that satisfies all five senses by creating creative fusion Korean cuisine with fresh ingredients delivered directly from the source.

The interior of both the first-floor and second-floor stores is very high-quality, adding a touch of uniqueness to the atmosphere.

From floor seating to table seating, there's a variety of table seats, and the atmosphere is good for conversation without being loud, so you can enjoy your food more comfortably.

The restaurant offers a variety of Korean dishes paired well with alcoholic beverages and drinks.

First, I tried the oysters that were delivered directly from Tongyeong the same day.

They clean oysters the size of an adult man's palm right there on the spot.

Oysters

The chewy yet soft texture harmonizes, and every bite gently releases sweetness and saltiness, enhancing the savory taste. It's really delicious even without any extra seasoning, but eating it with the accompanying sauce, lemon, and dill enhances the aroma.

Triploid Oyster Bossam

Next, I tried the Triploid Oyster Bossam. You can enjoy tenderly boiled special pork part Gabrisal, along with cool radish strips and fresh seasonal oysters.

  

Try eating it with the cool radish strips and chives provided together. The radish strips are not spicy and are so clean-tasting that you can't stop eating them. The seasoning was perfect, to the point where I wanted to eat the radish strips alone.

 

If the radish strips are too spicy, I recommend that you try dipping them in salted shrimp to get the seasoning just right.

Tteokgalbi

You can't leave without trying the homemade Tteok-galbi.

Ate thick Tteokgalbi with various side dishes.

First, I ate it topped with an egg yolk. The juicy handmade tteokgalbi with egg yolk made the flavor more nutty and smooth, spreading throughout my mouth.

For reference, the size of the Tteokgalbi is quite large, so please use the prepared scissors and tongs to cut it.

The rice beneath is adequately seasoned, making it easy to eat.

It's even better when eaten with fragrant herbs.

If you accompany it with the kimchi and pickles that come with it, it will cut through the grease and you can enjoy it deliciously until the end.

Uni Perilla Oil 

Next, I ate Uni perilla oil buckwheat noodles. You can feel the rich taste as the savory flavor of perilla oil and the umami of seaweed harmonize.

We recommend not mixing everything at once, but eating it with your preferred amount. Feel the rich flavor of the sea.

Lastly, I ate pumpkin gnocchi. It's a menu reinterpreted in Korean style with fragrant and sweet homemade pumpkin puree and pumpkin chips. 

The texture of the crispy pumpkin chips and chewy gnocchi was really appealing. 'JINJAK KAKII', a trendy fusion Korean restaurant that uses freshly sourced ingredients and is a five-minute walk from Anguk Station, is a must-visit when you want to enjoy a special gourmet experience!
