[Seoul, Korea] The forbidden Yukhoe sparkles... has meat ever been this beautiful?!

[Insadong-Jongno Gwangjang Market]
Buchon Yukhoe Annex (부촌육회 별관)

We arrived at 8:50pm, just before the last order, and the restaurant was full. I was sitting dejectedly in front of the restaurant thinking I had no choice but to give up, when a young man from the restaurant came out and made a gesture that seemed to say "Wait here for a bit." I was able to enter the restaurant in about 5 minutes, while staring at the octopus tank outside. I'm glad I wasn't turned away!

My actual destination was the "Buchon Yukhoe Main Branch," but I was walking from the nearest station in a bit of a panic, as the last order time was approaching, and the first place I saw was the Annex lol (the main branch is in Gwangjang Market Yukhoe Street, the Annex is along the main street)
The menu and prices are the same at both restaurants, so no problem!

I was a little worried because I don't usually eat raw meat, but everyone, including the members with weak stomachs, had no problems! As expected from a restaurant that has been featured in the Michelin Guide many times, the taste and quality are very trustworthy.

・Yukke and Live Long-legged Octopus Tantangi
The octopus legs are still wiggling, but without hesitation, I mixed the egg yolk and radish on top and the pear underneath well to combine them. It's delicious when you dip it in the salted sesame oil that comes with it and wrap it in Korean seaweed.

・Yukke Bibimbap
The meat is a little darker in color because it's been aged to concentrate the flavor. You can add as much gochujang sauce as you like and mix it well. There are plenty of vegetables as well. The crunchy texture and moderate sweetness of the thickly sliced pear soothes your mouth and your soul.

Water is self-service. The beef bone soup with a big radish was so delicious and comforting that I wanted to ask for a refill. I wasn't sure how to use the garlic, green chili peppers, and spicy miso that were served with it, so I ate it as it was, and it was spicy!!! I heard that you can mix it into the yukhoe to your liking (I looked it up later).

Next time I go, I'd like to try the raw liver!
