Introduction to Bori Gaksi (보리각시)
Deep in the heart of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gumi City is a unique restaurant known as Bori Gaksi (보리각시). This quaint, rustic establishment is not your typical dining experience.

A Unique Dining Experience
The driving force behind Bori Gaksi is Hwang Soon-ok, who is a member of the Gumi City Our Food Research Association. Hwang Soon-ok and the villagers have opened the doors of Bori Gaksi as a result of their ongoing research and exploration into various ways of utilizing barley. With unending research and challenge, Hwang Soon-ok presents a refined Han-sang (traditional Korean table setting) made from sticky barley and wild greens collected from mountains and fields during spring.
