Short Description
  • Sixty percent of Seoul's meat comes from Majang Market. It's an active market where freshly slaughtered animals are trucked in, broken down, and sold. This market is not for the squeamish, as you'll see all the parts of cattle and swine strewn about the stalls. This may be why it's not promoted much to ordinary tourists.
  • But you're not a tourist! You want adventure!
  • We meet outside Yongdu Station, exit 4. Then we traverse this forgotten neighborhood to the rough-and-tumble meat market.
  • We'll stop by one of our regular reliable butchers for some top grade Hanwoo Beef and maybe some fine quality pork. Then we head upstairs to a restaurant with amazing side dishes to grill up our bounty.
  • Traditional Korean Pub (add-on)
  • If you add this option, after dinner, we'll stumble a few blocks to a gem of a neighborhood bar that specializes in traditional Korean alcohol and amazing pub grub.
  • All the food and drink for the evening is included in the price.

  • How rough is it?
  • Majang's knife-weilding vendors have successfully kept Korea's mobsters away from claiming it as territory. But don't worry. Ironically, the evening is the safer time to go because it's not buzzing with weaving madcap vehicles. Be prepared to see carcasses, heads, feet, and innards. True meat lovers have no qualms with this.
