The pork shoulder set comes with cross-aged shoulder cut and diced pork neck (mokjal). The shoulder is fresh and high quality, while the neck comes out cut into big cubes, true to its name. They put the leaner diced pork neck on the grill first If a flare-up happens, don't panic — there's a small water container on the table, just splash it on the edges Thick cuts mean a chewy texture, with a clean but savory flavor Meat lettuce wraps with the spicy green onion shreds are always a good choice ![Lettuce wrap with meat and green onion shreds](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-19-w9gq1-900.webp) The right amount of fat keeps it from drying out, the charcoal aroma brings out the savory flavor, and the chewy texture makes it satisfying to chew ![Grilled cross-aged pork shoulder with charcoal aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-20-1tr4n-900.webp) Dip it in the sauce and coat it in breadcrumbs for a fun texture that's tonkatsu-ish, but not quite ![A piece of meat coated in breadcrumbs](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-21-1ojw5-900.webp) Wrapping it with seasoned kim (seaweed) also gives it a different flavor ## Gwanaksan steamed egg and countryside doenjang stew The pork shoulder set comes with Gwanaksan egg soufflé and doenjang stew (or aged kimchi stew). Soft and fluffy egg soufflé — good for coating your stomach before the meat. Wow~ this place's doenjang stew is a must-try. A true doenjang stew spot where the deep flavor of countryside doenjang really comes through. And it's never too salty — the seasoning is just right, which makes the stew even better. ## Charcoal-grilled rice ball with flying fish roe Gogigupneunsaramdeul's charcoal-grilled rice ball is ₩3,500, with flying fish roe topping for ₩1,000 more. You shape the rice ball yourself and grill it over charcoal. ![Plate of ingredients for the charcoal-grilled rice ball](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-22-82d4a-900.webp) Charcoal-grilled rice ball~ the name was so intriguing I had to order it. Oh~ so you just knead and knead to shape the rice ball, then grill it. ![Rice ball grilling on the grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-23-16hml-900.webp) It can burn, so grab some sesame oil from the self-serve bar and brush it on for a nuttier flavor and better grilling. The outside turns golden and crispy like nurungji (scorched rice), nutty flavor and all~ great idea, honestly ![Golden, crispy charcoal-grilled rice ball](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set/gogi-guinneun-saramdeul-syaro-sugil-shoulder-set-24-400yp-900.webp) Finally, the owner's thoughtful touch — a yogurt drink after the meal~~ ended things on a sweet note ❤️❤️ ## Is Gogigupneunsaramdeul worth it?
