VISIT JEJU

Collect your own seafood

Jeju is where summer begins in Korea. Make your summer vacation complete with bareutjabi, a unique fishing experience at Jeju’s ocean. In bareutjabi, visitors can collect top shells, crabs, and turban shells at the shallow seaside. It is an easy activity suitable for children, which makes it popular as a tour experience for the entire family. It’s important to note that bareutjabi is not allowed in every part of the Jeju ocean. Since marine products provide a means of living for local residents, bareutjabi is only allowed in certain town fisheries that permit visitors to collect their own seafood. These kinds of activities are only allowed in permitted areas, even within the same beach. Furthermore, use of tools are prohibited. The permitted period and time of permission are set separately.

Korean Foods to Warm You Up This Winter

Korean food might be famous around the world for its spiciness, but that is not the case with Jeju cuisine. Jeju people don't use that much of red chilli pepper. They prefer marinated soy bean paste as a base (dwenjang) for some dishes that traditionally in the mainland are made by using red chilli pepper paste. Uniqueness formed by the islanders lifestyle and isolation from the mainland offer a different approach to Korean food. Distinct features are definitely an amount of seafood included and the freshness of the products. Everything here on the table is either straight from the fields or straight from the ocean.

Unique, traditional flavors of Jeju cuisine

There are differences in traditional food of the mainland and Jeju. Jeju developed its own food history because of its unique natural environment and socio-cultural background. As an island, Jeju is surrounded by the sea so it has a variety of seafood for all seasons and using various cooking methods. Jeju is a volcanic island, with sandy soil and basalt rock, so growing rice here is impossible. As a result, other different kinds of grains were used as ingredients. These include beans, buckwheat, barley, and so on. Fresh vegetables are easy to grow in the warm climate, so there are fewer uses of preserved foods here. For those food lovers who would like to experience Korean cuisine, Jeju’s traditional food will be definitely be a highlight of your trip to the island.

Traditional Jeju Island Foods

Jeju’s cuisine is unlike anything you’ll find in Korea. If you’re a meat-lover, there is no place better for Korean BBQ than Jeju Island. If seafood is more your thing, you can find a variety of delicious, fresh seafood anywhere you go.
