Seoul Makchang/Gopchang Recommendations

Roasted intestine sausage (makchang) is a very popular meal among Koreans. Because it is delicious and goes well together with drinks, is it a must-eat food for tourists in Korea! I also like makchang very much. Basically, it can be roughly divided into two types, namely beef makchang and pork makchang. The Korean food I want to introduce to you today is the makchang and the restaurants that serve them. Try it out the next time you're in Korea!
