As nation’s first hanu beef industrial special district, Hampyeong is where hanu beef is particularly known for its tender texture. Cheonji Hanu Bibimbap Street is located in downtown Hampyeong, with restaurants offering yukhoe (beef tartare) and yukhoe-bibimbap. Yukhoe is made with julienned fresh raw beef seasoned in soy sauce, sugar, and pepper. The tenderness of the beef mildly infused with Eastern medicinal herbs is a true delicacy.

Yukhoe-bibimbap is rice topped with yukhoe beef, bean sprouts, spinach, and other vegetables. It is mixed with a sauce of gochu-jang (red chili paste), sesame seed oil, and garlic. The dish is especially tasty when accompanied with the chewiness and nuttiness of the beef.

Price: Yuk-hoe Bibimbap 7,000 won to 10,000 won
