From October 15th to December 15th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization are launching a “Tasteful Travel Campaign in every corner of Korea” to revitalize domestic tourism with the theme of food.
In this campaign, various food cultures from all over the country and tourist attractions around the country can be linked to experience food culture improvement activities and food culture in each region, and information related to tourism products can be found and many people can participate. '' Exclusive homepage ( food.visitkorea.or.kr ) Was opened to provide various information related to domestic food tourism.

Among these, we looked at the top 5 streets of the most popular food spots in the country, representing Korea's food tourism. Let's listen to some delicious stories about Tteokbokki Street in Sindang-dong in Seoul, Chodang Tofu Street in Gangneung, Namwon Chueotang Street, Anjirang Gopchang Street in Daegu, and Sake House Street in Minrak-dong, Gwangalli, Busan.

No one lives in Seoul and knows the streets of Tteokbokki in Sindang-dong located in Jung-gu.
As such, Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Street is the holy ground of Tteokbokki with a history of 60 years. There are more than 10 Tteokbokki restaurants lined up in this place, which is the only shop in Korea that specializes in Tteokbokki. According to the native party of Sindang-dong, there were seats made in the briquette oven immediately after the Korean War. In times of need, Tteokbokki became popular as a street food that was able to fill the boat at a low price.

It was the birthplace of the Yalgae culture and was the birthplace of high school students in the 70's and 80's. It is said that middle-aged students who were still high school students at the time still hold their children's hands.

Tteokbokki is a genealogical food. From the 1800s onwards, rice cakes and meat, herbs and roasted rice were used as king's statues to become royal rice cakes. After the Korean War, recipes were streamlined and Gochujang changed to today's rice cakes. Recently, ingredients such as ramen, eggs, fried dumplings, and cheese are added to your liking.

Today, Chodang, Gangneung-si, is the place where Heo Gyun, author of <Hong Gil-dong> and Henan Seolheon, a female poet lived. As their father, Cho-yeop, lived here, he made tofu using seawater. So, there is a theory that he named 'chodang tofu' after Heo Yeop.

During the Korean War, men died, and the Anaks, who had a difficult time to eat and live, made tofu and sold them all night to feed and educate their children.
Now, there are about a dozen tofu houses along the pine forest path that is more than 500 years old, of which there are quite a few families that span two or three generations.

Let's solidify the inside with hot tofu and walk along the pine forest path. In 2013, the Chodang Tofu Experience Center opens, and you can make your own meals if you make a reservation in advance.

There are foods that taste only when the place name is put in front of the food name.
So, the signboard of Chueotangjip in the whole country is 'Namwon Chueotang'.
In Namwon, Jeollabuk-do, the clean streams of the Seomjin River flow and abundant sedimentary layers are formed, so there are many first-class loach, and a natural environment in which greenery such as tarodae and bracken ferns can be easily obtained. This is the background of the birth of Namwon Chueotang.

The method of boiling chueotang differs slightly from province to province, and is divided into Seoul-style boiled loach and Namdo-style boiled. Namwon Chueotang is characterized by eating plenty of Musiraegi, adding miso, perilla, and Janpi powder (Chopi powder) to make it soft and thick.

Chueotang Street is formed around Gwanghalluwon in Namwon, and there are about 20 specialty shops in the area. There are major tourist spots where you can enjoy various experiences such as Chunhyang Theme Park, Jirisan Dulle-gil, Korean traditional music or Pansori performances, and you can enjoy sightseeing and taste at the same time.

In summer, the Anjirang in Daegu, the hottest terrain on the Korean Peninsula, is said to be a place where Daegu residents enjoyed summer resorts due to the dense forest. The place where Gopchang Street is located is Anjirang's former marketplace. It was the beginning of a grandmother to take and sell pork giblets at a slaughterhouse, and as the economy became difficult with the IMF, there were more customers who wanted to eat generous giblets at cheap prices. It has been said that it has become a specialty of Daegu, which has been crowded with college students, family units, and enthusiasts.

It is not known when the giblets began to be eaten, but it is said to be from raising livestock worldwide. In Donguibogam, it is said that ‘Giblet enhances energy and energy and strengthens the spleen and stomach.’ It is a high-protein food that is popular for diet and beauty.

Minnak-dong Minnak is an abbreviation of Yeomin-dong-nak (與 民 同 樂), which means that the king enjoys with the people. The scenery of Gwangalli Beach and Geumnyeonsan Mountain is so good that many people can enjoy it. The sashimi restaurants from the beach to Minrak-dong are large enough to promote the Guinness Book of Records, and you can enjoy fresh and good sashimi at any time.

Choosing sashimi at a live fish store, the Busan Ajimaes float the sashimi in the blink of an eye. If you go upstairs and pay only a bit, you can enjoy a full course to the spicy soup with a side dish.
Minrak-dong Sashimi Street has a variety of sea activities and festival events throughout the four seasons. In particular, the Busan Fireworks Festival held in October is an essential fall event.

I know that it was Japan's influence to start eating sashimi, but if you look at old feeds such as Lee Gyu-bo in the mid-Koryo period and Seogeojeong in the early Joseon period, much earlier than the word Sasami in Japanese literature, you can see that Koreans have been enjoying sashimi for a long time.
