Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.
Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.
Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).
One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.
The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

Parque de la Historia de Seosomun (서소문역사공원)

Chilpae-ro 5, Jung-gu, Seúl
El área de la puerta Seosomun fue un lugar de persecución religiosa en el siglo XIX, antes de convertirse en el parque local actual. Muchos católicos fueron reprimidos y martirizados aquí, convirtiendo este lugar en un sitio sagrado para los catolicos coreanos. Seosomun era una puerta de entrada al mercado Chilpae, ubicado cerca de la puerta Sungnyemun (Namdaemun). Siempre estaba atestado de transeúntes y por esta razón servía para mostrarle a la gente los castigos hacia los acusados de haber cometido crímenes. El 15 de mayo de 1999 se levantó una torre conmemorativa en el centro del parque en honor a los mártires. En 2013, el distrito de Jung-gu de Seúl también fundó el Museo de Historia del Santuario Sagrado de Seosumun, con una sala de exposiciones alusiva.
