Mareunbi hosted a dinner at Kuma in Yeouido, the place everyone’s been talking about lately. Both the quality and the quantity were staggering. This is the pinnacle of Korean-style Japanese food.
Craft beer
You can see the owner’s attention to detail.
Salad
Tuna, probably
Tuna, probably
Yellowtail, probably..
The size is incredible.
Saeu-jang (marinated shrimp)
An explosion of umami.
Grilled dried croaker (mineo gulbi)
One of these is enough to go with a whole bowl of rice, and they just kept coming out one after another.
Uni..
By this point I was getting full, but it was too good not to eat..
Skate liver (hongeo-ae)
First time I’ve seen liver like this. Creamy. Really enjoyed it.
Shrimp too..
Oysters too..
Even the soup..
So basically, dishes that would be the main course anywhere else just keep rolling out here. Unless you have a seriously big stomach, it’s too much..
With whisky
Chocolates to finish
A very satisfying meal.
