## A beef restaurant at the entrance to the Janghowon Peach Festival

The far end of Icheon! Janghowon is famous for peaches, and right at the entrance to its peach festival grounds is a beef restaurant where the meat melts in your mouth~ Let’s head to Jowatso, a great meat spot in Janghowon ^^

Jowatso is located at the entrance to the Janghowon Peach Festival grounds~ It is in a great spot to visit while also catching the peach festival coming up on September 18–20~ Have delicious beef, pick up some plump Janghowon peaches, and watch a performance too ^^

The message you see as you enter is so positive—I love it ^^

![A positive message inside Jowatso](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-03-1ut4n-900.webp)

The interior atmosphere is lovely too. Quite a few tables were already set aside for reservations~ And all of Jowatso’s meat is personally managed by a professional chef holding certifications in Korean, Western, Japanese, and pufferfish cuisine, so you can eat with confidence~

And there are self-service fans! Haha, if you get hot while grilling, you can grab one and use it at your table~ Of course, summer has passed, so it is not terribly hot ^^

There is also a self-service bar on one side~ It has a variety of accompaniments to enjoy with the meat ^^

## The signature spread and complimentary hangover soup

You can order at the kiosk, and we ordered the signature platter~ The portions are generous and it includes special cuts, so I was excited ^^

![Kiosk for ordering the signature platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-05-vps95-900.webp)

While we looked around for a moment, the whole table was filled~~ Wow~~

![Signature beef platter spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-06-hfv31-900.webp)

Wow~~~ beef short rib, rib meat, flat iron steak, flower steak, and rapeseed honey-marinated beef too~~ Wow~~ The quantity is no joke~ haha

Next came the complimentary spicy beef hangover soup~ The aroma is exactly like the beef gukbap (rice soup) I used to have in Daegu, isn’t it? Haha

Wow~~ This is proper beef hangover soup. I could get full just ordering rice with this~ haha. Keep in mind that if you have beef at Jowatso, the hangover soup comes complimentary ^^ Is this really a free service? Haha, wow~~ What an amazing place~

## Slow-grilled flat iron steak over charcoal

Leaving the temptation of the beef hangover soup behind for now, we tried Jowatso’s main event: charcoal-grilled beef~ haha. There is so much meat, so just looking at it makes you feel secure ^^ Look at that visual—ahh~

Why should you not put too much beef on the grill? Because if you get greedy, pile it on, and burn it, that would be a shame~ haha. Grill it slowly and deliciously, seal in the juices, and eat it at its very best—that is the way to go ^^

![Beef slowly grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-07-erjxu-900.webp)

Sizzle~~ sizzle~~ Cut it in half and leave it just like this~ haha. Wow~~ It melts right away, haha. And the next piece goes straight on~

This delicious flat iron steak has its juices locked in while it cooks~ haha. Can you see the color of the beef? It is truly the best~ Just a little salt and wow~~ it melts in your mouth ^^

![Beef served with sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-10-17ue2-900.webp)

Of course, it is delicious made into sushi too ^^ You do not need much~ haha. Just a dab of wasabi is heavenly ^^

And the person holding the tongs has to eat one piece, then keep watching so the meat does not burn~ It is a duty~

## Rib meat with special soy sauce

This time, wrapped in perilla leaf with garlic and sauce~ haha. Wow~~ The beefy aroma is incredible ^^ Now it is rib meat. We had to speed up the grilling to match Mom’s pace of eating~ haha

![Rib meat grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-11-1vqbe-900.webp)

![Rib meat and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-12-y1u85-900.webp)

Jowatso’s special soy sauce is delicious too, and even with just wasabi—my usual style—it is so good. Above all, the way it melts as the beef aroma and juices spread through your mouth is honestly so delicious ^^

When beef is truly good, I do not usually wrap it, but I gave it a try anyway~ haha. Wow~~ The freshly served chive salad is full of sesame oil fragrance, making this another distinct flavor ^^

Taking spoonfuls of spicy hangover soup in between is delicious too ^^ This would be perfect with soju~ Jowatso is great for a company dinner together or a family gathering as well ^^

After a bite of sushi, it was time to try the flower steak~~ haha. They carefully rolled it layer by layer into a flower, and I was busily spreading it out to grill~ haha. There were only four pieces, so they disappeared in no time~~ haha

## Beef short rib and refreshing cold buckwheat noodles

Next up, beef short rib! Ahh~~ Does this even need explaining? Haha. It is one of the tastiest cuts of beef, right?~ haha. We let it cook nicely just as it was, giving it our full attention as we grilled~ haha. It had to be delicious, after all ^^

![Beef short rib cooking over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-15-nyub2-900.webp)

It is cooking along nicely, right? Haha

Meanwhile, the mulnaengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in chilled broth) we ordered arrived~

![Cold buckwheat noodles with vinegar and mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-17-1yiah-900.webp)

A circle of vinegar, a circle of mustard, then a refreshing big bite~~ haha. Chewy and cool—it is the best~^^

We cut away the meat, leaving only the bone~ You can eat it as it is, but grill it for just 10 more seconds and what happens?? A little magic unfolds as it melts away in your mouth~~ haha. It is nutty and delicious even without dipping it in anything ^^

This is the beef short-rib bone after cutting off the meat~ There is still plenty of meat on it ^^ If you really gnaw on it, it must be fantastic, right? Haha. It would be the best for anyone who loves bones ^^ A bite of cold noodles with beef short-rib meat~ At this moment, I envy absolutely nothing ^^

## Finishing with rapeseed honey-marinated beef and hangover soup

To finish, rapeseed honey-marinated beef~ It is clearly different from ordinary marinades~

![유채꿀양념구이](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-18-119u4-900.webp)

![마무리로 먹는 유채꿀양념구이](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-20-j6r3l-900.webp)

The seasoning is not overpowering, and the quality of the meat is so good—it is definitely delicious ^^

![양념이 강하지 않은 소고기 구이](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-21-dxjvr-900.webp)

To finish, we added another bowl of beef hangover soup and ended warmly by mixing rice into it~~~^^

![Beef hangover soup mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-22-1klre-900.webp)

Flat iron steak, rib meat, beef short rib, flower steak, and marinated beef, plus cold noodles, beef hangover soup, and rice~ Wow~~ I feel like I am going to burst, haha. It was so delicious that I wondered whether I had eaten this well in recent memory~

![The meal after eating beef and cold noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso/janghowon-beef-yuchaehoney-jowatso-23-d0toy-900.webp)

We wrapped things up with coffee in front of the restaurant~ haha

If you are looking for a great meat restaurant in Janghowon, I immediately recommend Jowatso at the entrance to the Janghowon Peach Festival grounds~ Even on a nationwide scale, I think it is competitive in both quality and price. Come and try it before it gets truly famous~ The quality is different, and it is seriously so delicious haha

Janghowon, the home of beef~ It is known as the home of peaches, but it is starting to register in my mind as the home of beef, haha. That is how delicious and good it was ^^ Jowatso is a great Janghowon restaurant with wonderful service and excellent meat quality~
