Kkankkanhan Jokbal is a good place in Cheomdan to end the day with jokbal and a glass of makgeolli.

Fine-bristle toothbrush for tartar and gum care: Verdante Spiral

The Verdante Spiral Fine Bristle Toothbrush is a toothbrush with twisted spiral fine bristles and a triangle head about the size of two adult molars. The writer, who had been through gum treatment because of tartar and gum problems, received the Verdante Spiral as a gifted product and found that even 10 minutes of brushing caused no gum irritation, reached the inner back molars and left tooth surfaces feeling smooth. The Verdante Spiral is a solid pick for families looking for a fine-bristle toothbrush for tartar and gum care.
