By the way, "mosal" is a Jeju dialect meaning sand!

3. Visiting Tips

To participate, simply make a reservation through Naver, and when ordering, show a photo of the autumn scenery you captured during your trip to Jeju. You can receive a 15% discount!

4. Menu Highlights

The main dish at this local gem is the "mosal" flatfish. Unlike regular farmed flatfish, these are raised in clean sandy environments, making them taste almost wild.

We ordered sashimi, fish cutlet, and sashimi rice bowl. Within 10 minutes, our dishes were served. My friend, who was trying "mosal" flatfish for the first time, was blown away by the rich flavor and chewy texture!

5. Sashimi Rice Bowl and Fish Cutlet

Next, we tried the colorful sashimi rice bowl, which was generously topped with thick slices of fresh "mosal" flatfish and fresh vegetables. The combination of crunchy veggies, chewy flatfish, and a sweet-spicy sauce was simply perfect.

The fish cutlet was so plentiful that we thought it was mistakenly served as a double portion. The fish was fresh and crispy, perfectly complemented by a mild tartar sauce.

Don't forget to add "mosal" flatfish to your Jeju food list; it’s a must-try!
