Food challenge!… and yes, it’s still moving. At Gwangjang Market, you can try sannakji yukhoe (산낙지 육회), a dish that combines freshly chopped live octopus with Korean beef tartare, topped with pear, and a rich egg yolk. While it might look intimidating, live octopus was actually voted the #1 “authentic Korean dish to try” by foreign travelers in a survey by the Korea Tourism Organization. It’s definitely what everyone seems to want to try when they get here. There’s something about the combination of tender beef, nutty sesame oil, sweet pear, and the unique texture of the octopus that keeps adventurous food lovers coming back for more.
