Description
Founded by Chef Chang-ho Shin, the restaurant—whose name translates to 'threading precious jade marbles'—applies traditional Korean techniques to its farm ingredients. The tasting menu features a mix of textures and flavors, from dishes of apparent simplicity executed to perfection to complex pairings like radish with pine nut puree, finishing with a classic course of beef, rice, and banchan. Meals unfold in a minimalist, artistic space with soft lighting and attentive sommelier service. Please note that the restaurant has a no-entry policy for children under 12.
