When it comes to raw beef and raw octopus in Seoul, South Korea, the most famous is the Buchon raw beef located in Gwangjang Market. It has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 8 consecutive years and is really worth a try! #富村生牛肉 부촌육회 본점 has two branches, both near Gwangjang Market. The main store is inside the market, and the other branch is on the road outside Gwangjang Market. The two stores are only about a minute's walk away, very close! This time I went to the branch to eat😋 #Raw beef and live octopus People who come here for the first time can choose to order this platter, and taste raw beef and raw octopus at the same time, two kinds of deliciousness👍 🐙The raw octopus will continue to wriggle when you put it in your mouth. The octopus with larger suction cups will really suck your tongue, which is a very special and wonderful feeling. The octopus tastes very chewy and has no fishy smell! 🐮The raw beef was very well processed, with no blood at all. I was a little scared that it might have a strange smell, but it tasted sweet and tender, and it didn't taste fishy at all. It was amazing😆 In addition to the main raw beef and raw octopus, a raw egg and bean sprouts were added, and the bottom layer was also covered with crispy shredded pears, dipped in sesame oil, and it was very refreshing to eat all together! Of course, you can also eat it wrapped in seaweed, which is salty and sweet👍 #生牛肉比饭 If you want to feel fuller, I recommend ordering raw beef bibimbap. It has a staple food that can make you fuller, and there are many kinds of lettuce in it. After covering the rice, pour the hot sauce on it and mix it, it is also very delicious😋

Gwangjang Market is also just a food market with aisles of vendors that have Korean side dishes, Korean teas, and sets to purchase for a Korean dol and other ceremonies like the Korean jesa which is done on major Korean holidays like Chuseok, the Korean thanksgiving, and Seollal, the Lunar New Year. If you’re prepping for those holidays, definitely visit Gwangjang Market.

Gwangjang Market is a famous large market that represents Seoul! There are many gourmet foods, but there are also cute general goods stores. It is located on the main corridor, so there are many stalls lined up in front of this general goods store, but I think it is easy to find because of the cute green lights. When you go inside, there are many exciting general goods, and they also sell alcohol, so it is a good place to look for souvenirs ☺️ They also have original eco bags. You can also take a photo of your life inside the store, so it is quite fun! I bought wonsoju here and got a glass 👌 —————————————————— 📍 "365 Iljang" 395-8 Jongno 5-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul Ⓜ️Jongno 5-ga Station, Exit 7 ⏰Mon-Tue 12:00-19:00 Wed-Sun 12:00-19:00 ————————————————— #Seoul #SeoulTrip #Korea #KoreaTrip #KoreaInfo #GwangjangMarket #SeoulTrip #KoreaTripInfo #RecommendedKorea2024

A corner of Yukhoe Street in the very popular [Gwangjang Market]. [Changshin Yukhoe] also sells takeaway raw meat at the storefront. You can change the liver sashimi and senmai sashimi platter to liver only. No smell at all! The sweetness of the generously served liver sashimi is irresistible. It's also fun to watch the energetic mother busily preparing the food. They welcomed me even though I was alone. There are explanations in Japanese on the photos on the wall. I'm happy that it opens at 9am👍 It's also open on Korean holidays and Sundays⭐️ (Closed on Tuesdays) 💰Price per person: 17,000w for raw liver 📍Location: 200-8 종로 Jongno District, Seoul, Korea 🕰️Opening hours: 9am - 10:20pm #Korea #Traveling alone in Korea #Gourmet for solo travelers in Korea #Seoul #Gourmet in Seoul #100TravelStyles #SeoulTrip2024
