Why This Dish Is Special
A signature borrowed from our sister spot, Jongno Dodam. Korean pork neck is aged, hand-battered, and fried together with black sesame, giving each piece a nutty aroma, a crisp shell, and a juicy, tender bite. It is a distinctive dish you will not find at most Jongno restaurants — a favorite with drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cut of pork is used?
We use aged Korean pork neck (moksim), which stays juicy and tender when fried. The black sesame in the batter adds a distinctive nutty aroma and crunch.
Is it spicy?
No — it is a savory, nutty fried dish rather than a spicy one, so it suits all palates and pairs well with beer, soju, or dongdongju.
