OUR STORY

That garlic aroma,kept as it was

When we were children, our grandmother aged Changnyeong garlic together with beef to take away the gaminess and make the meat tender, then grilled it alongside whole cloves of garlic.

That fragrant, sharp garlic taste from those days is our happiness and our memory.

We study and safeguard the flavour built on her own recipe, so that we can hand you the taste and the memory of those childhood days, exactly as they were.

GARLIC & AGING

Garlic comes first

Changnyeong garlic is aged together with the beef. When it hits the grill, whole cloves go on right beside the meat.

01
Aged with Changnyeong garlic
Garlic and beef are aged together, exactly the way our grandmother did it.
02
No gamey smell
Aging leaves the beef tender and free of gaminess — the thing guests mention most often.
03
Grilled with whole cloves
Whole garlic cloves go on the grill next to the meat, so that fragrant, sharp flavour works its way in.
