A Rainy-Day Classic
There’s a beloved Korean instinct: when it rains, make jeon. The sizzle of a pancake frying echoes the patter of rain, and the warm, savory smell is pure comfort on a grey afternoon. Pair it with a bowl of makgeolli or dongdongju, and you have one of Korea’s most cherished rituals.
Our Buchu-jeon
Buchu-jeon is a garlic-chive pancake — fragrant, herbaceous, and crisp at the edges. It’s one of the Taekdaeri family’s best-loved dishes, made simply and honestly so the chives shine. Light enough to keep eating, savory enough to keep pouring.
Why Dongdongju?
Dongdongju is a traditional unfiltered rice brew — nutty, gently sweet, and a little cloudy, served here in a Pocheon kettle. Its mellow sweetness balances the savory chives beautifully, and the two together are exactly what a rainy Jongno evening calls for.
Grab a table, order a buchu-jeon and a kettle, and let the rain do the rest.
