The $75 nine-course tasting menu begins with Tarakjuk, a vichyssoise-like soup made with pine nuts and potatoes. There is also Mul-Hwe, a mix of raw scallops and octopus with pickled onion, perilla leaf salad and tiger's milk, and Saengseon-Gui featuring grilled mackerel with soy eggplant. Also on the menu, Andong Jjimdak made with chicken slow-cooked in a four-day preparation with aged shiitake mushrooms; Bossam, pork belly with pickled daikon and hazelnut-ssamjang sauce; and Tteok-Galbi, charcoal grilled ribeye stuffed with sweet rice cake and topped with pear and chestnut chutney. A Black Sesame Ice Cream Pop is offered for dessert.
