Barley-straw smoked Jeju black pork sizzling over flame in Aewol

A local favorite that visitors quickly add to their must-eat lists—CATCHTABLE GLOBAL patterns show both camps flock here. Real barley straw pre-roasting perfumes Jeju black pork with a toasty sweetness while keeping the bite astonishingly tender; at lunch, a value set with skirt meat and stews keeps things easy and delicious. Come near sunset, then wander Aewol’s coastal path with that lingering, smoky aroma in the air.

  • Order this: Black pig skirt set with kimchi or soybean stew; pair with icy Hallasan soju for the classic match.
TIPS
Use CATCHTABLE’s remote wait to skip on-site queues, especially on weekends; Aewol cafe street and Gwakji Beach are a stroll or short drive away.
