A Must-Visit for Mackerel Sashimi in Jeju
Enjoying Fresh Sweet Shrimp Sashimi
When I think of the moments to look forward to during a trip to Jeju,
the romantic atmosphere and a delicious meal are certainly at the top of the list.
Tasting the unique local cuisine is my ultimate healing point!
Today, I want to share my experience at a charming sashimi restaurant
where I enjoyed fresh mackerel sashimi and sweet shrimp after visiting Hamdeok Beach last weekend.
The fresh mackerel sashimi melted in my mouth,
and the value for money was excellent!
1. Strolling and Enjoying Performances at Hamdeok Beach
Before heading for a meal, I first enjoyed a walk at Hamdeok Beach.
In my opinion, Hamdeok Beach is the best among Jeju's beaches.
The clear, beautiful water and the stunning surroundings make it a perfect spot.
During my visit, I was lucky enough to catch a large festival happening,
which added to the fun with plenty of sights and activities.
I enjoyed performances by singers and various food stalls without realizing how much time had passed!
After enjoying the festival, it was time to fill our stomachs,
so we headed to a restaurant called Dotom, located about a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from the beach.
We decided to walk to enjoy a drink, then took a taxi back to our hotel.
✔ Address: 409 Shinbuk-ro, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, B-Dong
✔ Parking: Dedicated parking available
✔ Operating Hours: 3 PM - 11:30 PM (Closed on Thursdays)
2. The Charming Sashimi Restaurant Dotom
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a spacious parking lot
and a beautiful garden beside the restaurant.
The landscaping was so beautifully done that I forgot my hunger and spent a while strolling in the garden.
Once inside, I was amazed by the interior,
which felt more like a cozy café than a sashimi restaurant.
The place was impeccably clean, providing a pleasant dining environment.
There were also charming outdoor seats surrounded by stone walls,
where I enjoyed fresh sashimi under warm lighting while breathing in the cool Jeju night air.
This is what happiness feels like!
3. Menu and Variety of Side Dishes
At Dotom, the must-order item is the signature Gomotak set,
which includes mackerel sashimi, assorted sashimi, and sweet shrimp.
The price is 115,000 KRW, and the generous portions make it great value.
The side dishes were also delightful,
including rich abalone porridge and sweet potato fries.
The warm and spicy fish cake soup was a perfect accompaniment to the sashimi,
keeping my palate refreshed.
4. High-Quality Jeju Mackerel Sashimi
As the main dishes were served,
I was impressed by the texture and flavor of the mackerel sashimi.
No fishy taste at all, just pure umami!
Dotom sources their fish fresh from the tank,
so freshness is guaranteed.
5. The Fun of Choosing Assorted Sashimi and Sweet Shrimp
The sweet shrimp was served prepped for easy eating,
with a delightful texture and flavor that is incomparable to market shrimp.
The assorted sashimi included various types like hairtail and yellowtail,
allowing for a diverse tasting experience.
Each was delicious, but the seasonal yellowtail and hairtail left a lasting impression.
To wrap up, we enjoyed a spicy fish soup that was simply amazing.
After a day of enjoying the beach and the charming Dotom restaurant,
I recommend finishing your day with a drink and the fresh Gomotak set.
It will surely create unforgettable memories of your Jeju trip!
