There is a store called "Shinsajeon" near Sinsa Station, and it is a place where you can experience Korean flavors properly, so there are a lot of foreign customers. In particular, the best thing is to add honeycomb honey to the assorted jeon and makgeolli! Although honeycomb honey is a bit expensive... it's worth having a glass. ㅎㅎ Location: 18 Dosandaero 11-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul #Sinsa Station #Sinsajeon #Korean Restaurant #Jeon Restaurant #A Glass of Makgeolli #Seoul Restaurant #Emotional Restaurant #Sinsa-dong Restaurant #Love of Korean Food #Traditional Food #Atmosphere Restaurant #Sinsa-dong Hot Place #Seoul Travel #Korean Taste #Delicious Jeon #Sinsa-dong Bar #Small Happiness #Eatstagram #Seoul Bar #Traditional Liquor #January Travel Support Fund Event

📍 신사전 (536-3 Sinsa-dong) I love Korean makgeolli, so I tried it the day after I arrived in Seoul 🍯Honey makgeolli You can order makgeolli and honey separately, and they will put the honey cut directly from the beehive in your glass 🫓Assorted chijimi Another specialty here is chijimi, and there are many types to choose from. The assorted version is particularly popular, and you can enjoy a little bit of each flavor. It's similar to tempura 🍲Tofu kimchi hotpot The classic kimchi tofu hotpot has very tasty pork and the flavor is well absorbed. It's a large plate that can be shared by 2-3 people. When I looked it up in advance, I heard that there is a line every day, but we went at noon, so we were able to get in without lining up. The menu is available on a tablet in Chinese, which is very convenient. If you like makgeolli, please visit! #Seoul #SeoulGourmet #SinsaDong #SinsaDongGourmet #HoneyMakgeolli #SinsaDongHoneyMakgeolli #SeoulTrip #SeoulExplorer #SinsaDongExplorer #Korea

This morning, I met a translation lady on my way to the restroom and she told me that this honey makgeolli is very famous. I remembered that I had saved it when I was planning my trip before, but I didn't pay much attention to it. She said that there is always a line, but I went at 2pm today so I didn't have to line up. Apparently it's better in the daytime than at night. You should definitely order the honey makgeolli. If you eat the honey directly, it may be a little too sweet, but when the honey slowly melts into the makgeolli, it's slightly sweet and very delicious. The makgeolli seems to be homemade and is richer than commercially available ones. I ordered other dishes with red star marks, but personally I thought the honey makgeolli was the best. The potato cheese pancakes were also great, and the tempura platter is also recommended. The pork dishes were a little ordinary. For reference, the price was 114,000 won for three people, about a little over 6,000 yen. I've included a photo of the restaurant at the end. #Sinsa-dong #KoreaTrip #HoneyMakgeolli

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Restaurant: 신사전 Address: 11th floor, 18 Seoul This restaurant, which has been popular in Korea for a long time, is located in Sinsa-dong! Before dining, you can go to the Boulevard, where many local brands are gathered. It's worth coming here just for their honeycomb rice wine! The clerk will bring out the whole honeycomb and cut it for you in front of you~ The rice wine with honeycomb is really much better than the original one. The sweet honey taste is easy to drink. It is also suitable for girls who don’t drink much but want to try Korean rice wine~ Their pancake and fried food platter is also quite famous. I personally think it is good for drinking, but the taste is not amazing~ ⚠️The restaurant will check your passport/ID card before you sit down, minors are not allowed to dine.

Garosugil, Korea, is lined with fashionable shops. Among them, a chijimi specialty restaurant called "Sinsajeong" is popular among women. It is also conveniently located, just a 4-minute walk from Exit 8 of Sinsa Station. It is also close to Gentle Monster, making it a great place to stop by between shopping. 💎The "Honey Makgeolli" that is a hot topic on social media is delicious! The "Honey Makgeolli" is especially popular at Sinsajeong. When you order, the staff will bring you a honeycomb and cut it up in front of you. When you dissolve a lot of honey in the makgeolli and drink it, the sweet and sour aroma that spreads in your mouth is irresistible. 💎The crispy "Seri Chijimi" is also a must-try! As it is a chijimi specialty restaurant, the chijimi is of course excellent. The "Seri Chijimi" topped with plenty of shrimp is especially popular. It has a crispy texture like tempura and goes perfectly with makgeolli. 💎If you visit, we recommend sharing! One bottle of makgeolli is generous, so we recommend sharing it with 2-3 people. There are also many different types of chijimi, so we recommend sharing them with everyone and enjoying the different flavors! 📍Sinsajeong [Address] 536-3, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Nearest station: 311m walk from Exit 8 of Sinsa Station, Line 3 [Business hours] Weekdays: 11:00 - 01:00 (Last order 00:30) Weekends: 13:00 - 01:00 (Last order 00:30) [Recommended menu] Honey makgeolli: You can enjoy the performance of cutting it from the honeycomb.

When it comes to the most popular restaurants in Sinsa-dong, it must be this honey rice wine restaurant. You have to queue up at 5 or 6 o'clock. After eating, I feel that it is really worth a try, especially if you are an alcoholic, you can't miss it🤭 As one of the representative wines in Korea, there are many varieties of rice wine here, and it feels a bit like choosing red wine: it depends on the place of origin, fermentation method, aging time, etc. The honey rice wine that everyone has been highly recommending is actually the one you choose first. After choosing rice wine, you then add money for honey. Then the clerk will cut a part of the honeycomb in front of you and put it in your wine glass. Then you pour the rice wine up and it becomes honey rice wine☺ This method adds natural honey sweetness to each cup of rice wine, and also reduces the taste of the wine, making it easy for non-drinkers to taste it. The bottle is quite generous, so it’s great for two people to share it while drinking soup! Since we weren't too hungry that day, we didn't order pancakes. Instead, we ordered a clear seafood hot pot. Unexpectedly, the portion was quite large, and the seafood was really sweet. It warmed our stomachs after eating. It was completely satisfying! The atmosphere here is very suitable for gatherings of four or more people, but you have to come early to line up, there are many people on weekdays 😂 # SEOUL TRAVEL # Gourmet Guide # foodphotography # korean food # Seoul itinerary

This is a famous shop for honey makgeolli✨ The makgeolli is sweet, rich, and very delicious, with a big block of honey in it! ! It's hard to find it anywhere else, so it was a fresh experience! I went there around 8pm on a weekday, and I only had to wait about 30-40 minutes! (It seems you can make a reservation, but I couldn't because I didn't understand Korean very well.) One serving of chijimi and hotpot is enough for about three people, so if there are two of you, you'll be full if you order two dishes! If you're thinking about drinking makgeolli in Seoul, this is the place for you🤍 18 Dosan-daero 11-gil, Gangnam District, Seoul, Korea #0 yen trip #Seoul girls trip #Seoul trip #Makgeolli
