- Food Travel Log
- During the day, Gwangjang Market is bustling like Ameyoko. At night, it's quieter but still vibrant. While most stalls close, Yukhoe Alley stays lively, boosting my spirits too! The fresh raw beef, fragrant with sesame oil, paired perfectly with beer. Asking a neighboring woman about yukhoe, I discovered she was a cautious Japanese tourist. It almost turned into my last supper of yukhoe.

- Insights from the Gourmet AI
- Originally part of Korean cuisine, yukhoe is a luxurious dish loved among the powerful, consisting of fresh beef thinly sliced and mixed with garlic and sesame oil. In Gwangjang Market's Yukhoe Street, many stalls offer high-quality raw meat. When eating yukhoe, freshness is crucial, so it's best and safest to consume it immediately after it’s served. If you feel any doubt, it's best to enjoy it at your own risk. By the way, like the author, having the skill to talk to the nearby Japanese person and being met with caution can be a valuable experience in gaining important travel experience points. However, in this case, it's essential to be careful not to inadvertently let your "last supper" become too enjoyable! Traveling and how quickly the beer is consumed often doesn't go as planned.
