Eonyang Giwajip Bulgogi is a more than 40-year-old establishment housed in a renovated hanok with a history exceeding 100 years. Eonyang bulgogi is crafted by finely mincing beef, seasoning it with various spices, and grilling it on charcoal until it becomes wide and flat. The use of a gridiron for grilling imparts a distinct smoky flavor, and the mild seasoning contributes to a pleasant texture. When wrapped in fresh vegetables alongside pajeori (green onions), the combination produces an outstanding taste. The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste jjigae) and side dishes, known for their subtle seasoning, offer a clean and refreshing taste.
