The name Yuk Tongryeong already gives off strong aged-meat-specialist vibes. Since Gyodae has so many office workers, there were a lot of people coming for dinner in the evening too. If you're looking for a meat restaurant near Gyodae, the location is pretty great too!

It's a meat restaurant but the interior is clean, so it felt fine even for a date. When I go to meat restaurants, the taste matters but I also low-key check the table and store maintenance,,haha. A clean atmosphere that's good for eating a full plate of meat!

You can see the care put into aging the meat and freshly cooked rice, right? Already knew it was gonna be good before even eating,,haha.

## Menu and what was ordered at Yuk Tongryeong Gyodae Direct Store

Yuk Tongryeong has quite a variety of meats, from black pork ogyeopsal (five-layer belly), pork neck, and samgyeopsal (pork belly) to Korean beef menu items. But today's purpose was already decided.

- 15-day omija-aged black pork premium six-layer belly (2 servings)
- Homemade doenjang jjigae (fermented soybean paste stew) with meju
- Rice

## 15-day omija-aged black pork premium six-layer belly: how thick is it?

![Full spread of basic side dishes at Yuk Tongryeong Gyodae Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-07-18v9f-966.webp)

![Basic side dish plates served with the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-08-hxp5r-966.webp)

![Side dishes and sauces set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-09-12wzq-966.webp)

![Vertical shot of the basic side dishes and table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-10-18ovx-966.webp)

The basic side dishes showed up nicely too~ And the menu I was most curious about that day! The 15-day omija-aged black pork premium six-layer belly.

![Raw 15-day omija-aged black pork premium six-layer belly, two servings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-11-1ywc7-966.webp)

At the current menu price it's ₩20,000 per serving, and we ordered two servings. They said Yuk Tongryeong selects well-marbled black pork from properly raised pigs, then picks the tastiest cuts again to sell as the premium six-layer belly. And with 15 days of omija aging on top of that, it clearly wasn't just meat with a long fancy name,,haha.

![Thick premium six-layer belly placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-12-vye89-966.webp)

![Thickness of the black pork six-layer belly as it grills](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-13-3h4yf-966.webp)

First off, the meat is quite thick. I don't really like meat that's too thin because the moisture flies off right after grilling. But with the premium six-layer belly, the thickness gives you real bite when you pick up one piece!

![Cross-section of a golden-grilled black pork six-layer belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-14-1xsbc-966.webp)

The outside cooked to a nice golden brown while the juices stayed inside, so the savory flavor really came through the more I chewed.

![Close-up of the grilled six-layer belly with skin attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-15-b6qm3-966.webp)

And the fat part was soft while the skin side had a chewy texture, so how many textures come out of one bite,,? This must be why it's called six-layer belly lol.

If you usually like samgyeopsal, this has a different kind of fun compared to regular pork belly, so I really want you to try it! I personally like pork with a good ratio of lean meat to fat rather than pure lean meat, and this was exactly my style. If you're looking for pork belly near Gyodae Station and want something a bit special, I'd recommend starting with the premium six-layer belly!

### Side dishes and dipping sauces

I also liked that there were various side dishes and sauces to go with the meat. When you keep eating just meat, even if it's delicious, you get a little tired of it at some point.

Dipping in this, then that, eating each piece a little differently — you can polish off two servings in no time^^haha.

## The real highlight: doenjang jjigae made with house-fermented meju

And everyone. Am I the only one who feels let down when the doenjang jjigae (fermented soybean paste stew) is an afterthought at a meat restaurant? I give doenjang jjigae a pretty big weight when I'm rating a meat restaurant. Yuk Tongryeong has homemade doenjang jjigae made with meju, so I ordered it right away.

![A hot pot of homemade doenjang jjigae made with meju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-18-kqco7-966.webp)

According to the menu description, they use homemade doenjang made from meju fermented directly in Gangwon-do. Maybe that's why it has a clearly savory, deep flavor rather than just tasting salty.

![The savory broth of the homemade doenjang jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly/yuktongryeong-gyodae-omija-aged-pork-belly-19-1rvjd-966.webp)

And the doenjang jjigae isn't just a side dish you take a spoonful or two of after eating meat — it's the kind of thing you can properly eat with rice!!

A bite of meat, a spoonful of doenjang jjigae, a bite of rice — phew,, the complete Korean meal.
