[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Sinsajeon (Updated Mar)

📍 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.

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

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
