First of all, you have to admit that sashimi is incredibly beautiful, whether you like eating raw fish or not. I had never tried anything like it, and the texture was interesting, to say the least. The raw salmon was definitely my favorite! Each person had their own trio of dipping sauces: soy sauce with wasabi, 쌈장 (ssamjang = wrapping sauce), and 초고추장 (cho-gochujang = vinegar pepper sauce). We could just dip and devour or wrap in lettuce with other vegetables like raw garlic (my favorite) or small radish sprouts.
The second plate was filled with different sea creatures, none of them I particularly enjoyed. The pink one is jelly fish, which had a soapy taste, and the one in the middle was octopus, which was very tough to chew. Next was what you would see at a typical sushi restaurant. Thin slices of white fish (don't know what kind), on top of rice with a little dollop of wasabi on the inside. Delicious!
Here comes the terrifying part where Christina acts very bravely! The infamous, fresh octopus that's still moving! The tentacles were covered in sesame oil, which was yummy.
The meal concluded with fantastic 돌솥 비빔밥 (dolsot bibimbap = hot stone rice bowl) with fish eggs and a yummy seafood and radish stew!
