🥄 Texture

Tender, flaky fish pieces and slightly chewy, springy squid rings are contrasted by crisp, cool lettuce and delicate crunchy seaweed strips. Each bite delivers a pleasant mix of soft seafood and refreshing crunch.

👃 Aroma

Briny, oceanic notes from the seafood and nori are accompanied by a mild savory garlic-and-black-pepper background. The overall aroma is clean, fresh, and lightly savory rather than heavy.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A dry, crisp white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or unoaked Chardonnay) or a cold Korean lager; alternatively chilled soju or sparkling water with a lemon wedge.

🥗 Side Dishes

Steamed rice and assorted Korean banchan such as kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned spinach; a simple cucumber salad and a small dish of ssamjang or gochujang on the side for added heat.
