## In short

Ari Chuksan is a butcher shop for pension barbecues on Gangbyeon-ro in downtown Cheongpyeong, Gapyeong, Gyeonggi, where meat, wrap vegetables and side supplies can all be bought in one stop. On a family trip with the writer's mother-in-law and a 15-month-old baby, Ari Chuksan supplied 122g of Korean beef chuck flap, 120g of Korean beef short rib (galbisal) and 386g of fresh pork neck, all grilled on a griddle pan set over a burner, plus perilla leaves for 1,500 won and lettuce for 1,000 won. The Korean beef short rib melted like cotton candy and the fresh pork neck tasted even better than the beef, making Ari Chuksan a stop worth repeating on the next winter trip to Cheongpyeong.

> Today's two-line summary

A super cost-effective butcher shop in downtown Cheongpyeong where you can buy pension barbecue meat, vegetables, and side supplies all in one stop at very low prices.

From melt-in-your-mouth 1++ Korean beef to fresh pork neck that rivals beef in flavor, the meat quality is outstanding — a place I'll definitely visit again on my next Cheongpyeong trip.

## Why Ari Chuksan is the butcher shop for a Cheongpyeong pension barbecue

Ari Chuksan is a butcher shop on the riverside road in downtown Cheongpyeong where you can buy pension barbecue meat and wrap vegetables all in one place. This was a family trip to Cheongpyeong with my mother-in-law, my 15-month-old baby, and my wife. The highlight and unwritten rule of any pension trip is the evening barbecue party where everyone grills together.

It's a bit of a hassle, but grilling meat at a pension feels like a proper getaway compared to ordering delivery. I searched for butcher shops in downtown Cheongpyeong looking for good quality, delicious meat, and found Ari Chuksan thanks to its excellent reviews. There were photos at the store entrance of a YouTuber with a million subscribers and famous celebrities who'd visited, which built up my expectations even before going in.

In the end, the meat was so tender and delicious that I'm planning to visit again on our family trip this fall.

## Wrap vegetables in one stop: perilla leaves 1,500 won, lettuce 1,000 won

One of Ari Chuksan's biggest strengths is that it has not just quality meat but everything you need for a pension barbecue, all ready to go.

There's a vegetable section with cheongyang peppers, peeled garlic, shredded scallions, mushrooms, lettuce, and more to go with the meat. I bought perilla leaves, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms here — the perilla leaves were ₩1,500 and the lettuce ₩1,000. The prices were so low, yet the portions were packed full, so even after stacking several leaves per wrap, we still had some left over. The day before, I'd paid a whopping ₩7,000 for a similar amount of wrap vegetables at Hanaro Mart, so the price comparison was crystal clear. I highly recommend just buying everything at once at Ari Chuksan instead of making a separate trip to the Hanaro Mart right next door.

## What's in Ari Chuksan's meat case: Korean beef, Wagyu, specialty pork cuts, lamb

Good quality Korean beef is a given here.

They also carry good-value Wagyu and specialty pork cuts you don't often see at a regular neighborhood butcher shop.

Cuts like Korean pork skirt (kkotchima-sal), chewy jowl (kkodeul-mokssal), and pork tomahawk feel like a bit of a challenge to grill at home, so I usually hesitate — but when you're out on a trip, they're exactly the kind of tempting cuts you want to grill over charcoal.

I really love ddwitgogi (pork trimmings), so this year I'm determined to buy some at Ari Chuksan and try it. The lamb shoulder rack was also beautifully packaged and looked delicious, so I've decided that on my next visit I have to try the lamb too.

My wife and I both love lamb, so I'm really looking forward to it.

## Korean beef short rib, chuck flap and fresh pork neck: weight and price per 100g

On this trip, I wanted to really treat myself to good-quality Korean beef, so I ordered a mix of Korean beef short rib, Korean beef chuck flap, and fresh pork neck.

Based on the labels on the packaging, here's the weight and price of the meat I bought — it truly is a cost-effective butcher shop.

## Grilling the Ari Chuksan meat on a griddle pan over a burner at the pension

Back at the pension, we unpacked and got the real barbecue party started. Instead of charcoal, we put a wide griddle pan on the burner we'd brought and grilled the meat on that — the sizzling sound of the meat cooking made it feel just like camping, and the mood was amazing.

When the meat is this good, it's delicious even without charcoal.

The Korean beef short rib, which went on the pan first, was an absolute hit. With its gorgeous marbling, it was lightly seared and, without much exaggeration, melted away like cotton candy the moment it hit my mouth.

My mother-in-law said the meat was delicious too, which made me happy. When she's happy, I'm happy. It was almost sad watching each piece of meat disappear.

Even grilled plain with no seasoning, the meat had a rich, savory flavor, and a light dip in salt-and-oil sauce made it perfect. The meat quality was so good that anything more complicated would have been a waste. Honestly, the chuck flap we grilled next was so delicious that everyone just devoured it without thinking, and I didn't even get a chance to take a photo.

### The fresh pork neck that beat the Korean beef

After the beef had really whetted our appetite, we grilled pork neck together with enoki mushrooms.

But honestly, this pork neck was shocking enough that it felt even more delicious than the Korean beef. I kept wondering, how can pork neck taste this moist and tender? There wasn't a trace of dryness — it was chewy and full of juice. It was some of the best meat I've had, hard to rank against the beef at all.

This coming winter, we're planning another family trip to spend a night in snow-covered Cheongpyeong, and when that time comes, there's no need to think twice about which butcher shop — it's Ari Chuksan. If you're planning a pension trip to Cheongpyeong or Gapyeong, definitely stop by.
