The view of the blue Jeju sea from the restaurant's front yard was so clear and refreshing that it felt healing just to gaze at it. The gentle waves and exotic scenery made the wait for food quite enjoyable.

There was a Staria shuttle bus parked nearby, providing convenient access for travelers without a vehicle, making it easy for everyone to visit.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately drawn to the large aging chamber, where the meat was carefully managed under warm red lights. Seeing the thick cuts of meat being aged with Il-don's special technique increased my trust in the quality of the meat.

Quickly set on the table were the clean and appealing side dishes that complemented the meat. From fresh wrap vegetables to various pickles, everything was delightful.

The perfectly cooked black pork burst with rich juices and a tender texture with every bite, truly a culinary masterpiece. The thickness of the meat was impressive, yet it was incredibly tender, leaving everyone in awe.

I also enjoyed the unique flavors of the restaurant's sauces, which included creamy sauce, shiitake wasabi, and pollock roe garlic. These sauces enhanced the rich flavors of the black pork wonderfully.

4. Abundant Ingredients

Midway through the meal, the aged black pork kimchi stew arrived in a generous pot, bubbling and fragrant, perfectly complementing the rich flavors of the meat.

5. Unique Abalone Cold Noodles

To conclude the meal, I enjoyed the Jeju buckwheat abalone cold noodles, beautifully garnished with abalone and boiled eggs. The clear broth, sprinkled with sesame, washed away the richness of the pork.
