Aromatic Bliss! Geumsan’s Chubu Ggaetdam, the Perilla Leaf Tteokguk Hotspot Loved by KBS My Hometown at 6
Chubu-myeon in Geumsan, Chungnam, is the heartland of perilla leaf production in South Korea. Here, you’ll find a special restaurant brimming with the freshness of just-picked leaves.
This is ‘Chubu Ggaetdam (추부깻담)’, where premium Chubu perilla leaves, grown in Geumsan’s clear waters, significant daily temperature fluctuations, and fertile soil, are lovingly prepared.
From the moment the fragrant scent of perilla leaves tantalizes your nose, the neatly arranged table before you promises an unforgettable culinary experience. We invite you to a world of deep and unique perilla leaf dishes that can only be savored here.
‘Chubu Ggaetdam’ is more than just a restaurant. It’s a place infused with the dedication of a farming couple who developed perilla leaf tteok (rice cakes) and a proud commitment to the local specialty, Chubu perilla leaves.
Geumsan’s Chubu perilla leaves are highly renowned, accounting for about 42% of the nation’s perilla cultivation area. These leaves, cultivated with clear water, significant daily temperature variations, and fertile soil, boast a significantly fresher, softer texture, and a uniquely deep aroma compared to ordinary perilla leaves.
The signature dish, made with these top-quality perilla leaves sourced directly from the farm, is undoubtedly the ‘Perilla Seed Powder, King Galbi, Perilla Leaf Tteokguk’. Rich beef bone broth, savory perilla seed powder, and chewy garaetteok made with aromatic perilla leaves combine to create a deeply flavorful experience.
With generous portions of king galbi (rib meat), a single bowl provides a satisfying and joyful fullness. For those who prefer a lighter, cleaner taste, the ‘Beef Bone Broth Perilla Leaf Tteokguk’ is also available, featuring a pancake for added savoriness.
Additionally, Chubu Ggaetdam sells various perilla leaf specialty products such as perilla leaf kimchi, perilla leaf injeolmi, and perilla leaf garaetteok both on-site and online, allowing you to enjoy the fragrant taste of Geumsan perilla leaves at home. Visit this acclaimed restaurant, featured multiple times on TV, and discover the special perilla leaf cuisine only available in Geumsan.
