Insa-dong (인사동)

11.0Km    2024-05-17

Insadong-gil 62, Jongno-gu, Seúl
+82-2-734-0222

Insa-dong, situado en el corazón de la ciudad, es un lugar importante donde se intercambian artículos antiguos, pero valiosos. En la zona de Insa-dong hay una calle principal con un laberinto de callejuelas que se despliegan a cada lado. En aquellas callejuelas hay galerías, restaurantes tradicionales, casas de té tradicional y cafés. Las tiendas en Insa-dong son muy populares entre los grupos de todas las edades gracias al ambiente singular y único que ofrece cada una de ellas.

Las galerías de arte son el mismísimo latir del corazón de Insa-dong. En él hay un centenar de galerías donde se pueden contemplar todo tipo de ejemplares de las bellas artes de Corea, desde pinturas hasta esculturas. Entre las galerías de arte más famosas se encuentran la Galería Hakgojae, que funciona como el centro de arte folclórico; la Galería Gana, que promueve a muchos artistas de talentos prometedores, y el Centro de Arte Gana.

Las casas de té y los restaurantes complementan perfectamente las galerías de bellas artes. Al principio podrá resultar difícil hallarlos, pero si se toma el tiempo suficiente para recorrer las pequeñas calles serpenteantes, la “búsqueda” en sí puede llegar a ser divertida. En caso de que deseara elegir una sola casa de té de las cientas que hay aquí, Gwicheon podría llegar a ser el lugar ideal para conocer. La esposa del poeta Cheon Sang-byeong es su propietaria. El lugar no es muy grande, pero allí podrá ver fotos y libros de poetas famosos. El té de membrillo es el mejor de esta casa y es famoso por su fragancia.

Todos los domingos está prohibido el acceso de los coches a las calles del área de 10:00 a 22:00 por ordenanza municipal, de modo que el lugar se convierte en un espacio cultural. Precisamente este es el momento en el que los comercios se vuelcan fuera a exhibir sus artículos. No solo las tiendas que están aquí sino también gente de todas partes viene aquí e instala puestos de comercio ambulante. De todos estos se pueden mencionar, como ejemplo, los vendedores de dulces coreanos y los adivinos ancianos.

También se desarrollan interpretaciones de obras tradicionales y exhibiciones. Insa-dong es especialmente popular entre los turistas extranjeros, pues aquí pueden ver y vivir directamente la experiencia de la cultura tradicional coreana, y también porque pueden adquirir piezas de bellas artes. En la calle podrá probar melcochas coreanas y el tradicional pajeon (tortilla coreana), y ver a numerosos extranjeros sumidos en las alegres festividades.

Jirisan Restaurant (지리산)

30, Insadong 14-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
+82-2-723-4696

Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.

Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.

Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).

One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.

The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.
