Welcome to Gilmok (길목): A Unique Taste of Dangjin
I had the pleasure of visiting Gilmok (길목), a restaurant tucked away in the heart of Dangjin city (당진시), Chungnam (충남). Besides its serene and rustic surroundings, what sets Gilmok apart is that it’s run by local farmers, and their dedication to preserving and promoting the traditional cuisine of Dangjin is truly inspirational. They serve a unique local delicacy known as Ggeomokji (꺼먹지).
Experience the Authentic Flavor of Dangjin
Ggeomokji is a traditional dish of Dangjin made from salted radish greens. This unique dish gained worldwide recognition when it was served during a banquet held at the Hapdeok Church (합덕성당) attended by Pope Francis in 2014. Since then, food-lovers from all over the world have been visiting Dangjin just to experience the exquisite taste of this exceptional dish.
Gilmok (길목): Keeping Tradition Alive
At Gilmok, the restaurant team is committed to preserving this fading culinary tradition. They have developed a special Ggeomokji set menu that allows visitors to enjoy this delicacy in its purest form, prepared with utmost care and dedication.
