## In short

Cham Dwaejitgan is a Korean barbecue restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, Chungnam, where staff grill black pork five-layer pork belly at the table. I loved pairing the chewy pork with mushroom wasabi, potato slices, minari, steamed egg, and fried rice. Verdict: I would happily come back for the expertly grilled pork and unusual pairings.

## Visiting Cham Dwaejitgan in Dujeong-dong: timing and parking

The weather has been getting a little chilly lately, and doesn’t that just make you feel like you should take care of yourself somehow? I got that feeling for no reason, then while chatting with a friend I suddenly craved meat so badly that we went out for Korean BBQ! We had a delicious meal at Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch (참돼짓간 천안두정점), which opened this July in Cheonan’s Dujeong-dong food alley.

It was easy to visit since it is in the Dujeong-dong food alley, and parking is available, though it may be full, so I recommend calling to check. We visited around 6 p.m. on a weekday and did not have to wait, but it started getting busy after about 6:30! If you are going at dinner time or on the weekend, I recommend booking ahead!

## Table-kiosk menu and ordering

You can order from the kiosk at your table. The meat menu includes black pork five-layer pork belly, pork neck, Boseong Nokdon pork belly, flower pork neck, cheongyeopsal, and gabrisal. There are also sides such as stews, fried rice, steamed egg, and naengmyeon (cold noodles), plus alcohol and soft drinks.

## Banchan and the rice-husk smoking method

First, the banchan (small side dishes) included garlic scapes, lettuce, perilla leaves, cabbage salad, and seasoned scallions, along with a great variety of sauces for the meat. Under the kiosk, there was a guide to the classic pork-belly pairings, but all I could see was the mushroom wasabi. It was a sauce I had never seen before? I was so curious about what it would taste like.

Cham Dwaejitgan says it puts rice husks around the charcoal to give the meat a subtle smoked flavor. Maybe that is why the aroma of the pork felt a little different...! As the meat cooks, the rendered fat naturally runs beneath the grill and deliciously cooks the kimchi, minari (water parsley), bean sprouts, and more. The potato slices especially felt unfamiliar to me. Meat and potatoes...? I was so curious what that would be like!

## Staff-grilled black pork five-layer pork belly

A staff member grilled the meat for us, and they really seemed like a professional. They cooked all four sides of the five-layer pork belly evenly and cut it into easy-to-eat pieces! Every staff member who grilled for us was so kind, which made for such a pleasant meal.

Can you see how it looks...? I honestly wanted to call them a true meat master. I do not know whether it was because it was black pork, because of the five-layer pork belly cut, or because the staff grilled it so well, but it was the best meat I have had recently. I fell for its chewy texture and nutty flavor, so we ordered one more serving!

### Mushroom wasabi and spicy sauce

For my first bite, I put a piece of meat, seasoned scallions, bean sprouts, and the mushroom wasabi I had been most curious about on a perilla leaf. The mushroom aroma burst out and the flavor was insane. This really... gave me that I-need-it-again bug. If you do not hate mushrooms, please, please try it. I almost do not want anyone else to know about it... I also dipped the meat in the spicy sauce, and when you are eating rich meat, I think you need something spicy in between to keep going for longer!

### Potato slices and minari pairings

For the second bite, I put meat and bean sprouts on a potato slice. I do not know if that is the right way to eat it... but if it tastes good, that is all that matters~~~ They went so well together that I kept making wraps, though they were surprisingly hard to assemble. Folding the potato slice in half and adding just the meat made it absolutely delicious. Meat and potatoes together are basically carbs, protein, and fat, right? I consider it health food.

The combination of rice topped with meat, minari, and mushrooms needs no explanation. It is simply a classic. I love you, minari.

## Steamed egg, soybean paste stew, and fried rice

We also ordered steamed egg as a side. It was the bomb-style steamed egg that arrives piled high above a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot). It was fluffy and perfectly seasoned, making it great alongside the meat. The soybean paste stew had a pleasantly spicy kick, so I kept reaching for it between bites of pork. It was good with rice, but the broth itself was so delicious that I kept spooning it up.

I already felt as if I was about to burst, but you simply cannot resist Korean BBQ restaurant fried rice. They added the remaining minari according to our preference and stir-fried it beautifully, with just the right amount of saltiness. It was kimchi and minari stir-fried in pork fat, so of course it could not be bad—but it was really delicious. It would have been even better if we had saved a little meat to fry in with it, which was a small regret... Next time, for sure...

## A spacious interior for Dujeong-dong group dinners

![Inside Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-dujeong-pork-mushroom-wasabi/cheonan-dujeong-pork-mushroom-wasabi-18-1mh95-900.webp)

![Spacious interior with many tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-dujeong-pork-mushroom-wasabi/cheonan-dujeong-pork-mushroom-wasabi-19-yzsbl-900.webp)

The interior was quite spacious and had lots of tables! I thought it would make a good place for a Dujeong-dong work dinner. Do I sound too much like an office worker..? ㅠㅠ I am not an office worker now, but I worked in offices for a long time, so places like this make me think of team dinners haha. And perhaps because it has not been open long, the entire space was so neat and clean! Even the straight-line meat hoods over the tables somehow looked pretty to me haha.

There was also a chart on the wall explaining the characteristics of each pork cut. If you are someone like me who does not know the cuts well, it would be good to read it once. It explains what each one tastes like, so you can order according to your preference!! It was also so interesting that even pork neck differs depending on whether it is black pork neck or flower pork neck!

## Final thoughts on Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch

> 1000% willing to revisit

I would recommend Cham Dwaejitgan in Cheonan’s Dujeong-dong to anyone looking for a place where the meat is grilled deliciously for you! The black pork five-layer pork belly itself was chewy and so tasty, but there were also pairings you do not often see at other meat restaurants, such as mushroom wasabi and potato slices. With kimchi, bean sprouts, minari, and more to enjoy alongside it, you can eat even more meat. The restaurant is spacious and clean, so I think it is great for having meat with friends like I did, as well as work dinners and group gatherings! Next time I visit, I want to try the Boseong Nokdon cuts that I missed this time!
