Memil Danpyeon Restaurant / Studio GIMGEOSIL

A Tale of Buckwheat, “Memil Danpyeon” - Buckwheat is one of the grains that receive scant mention in Korean literature, which predominantly centers on aristocrats. This is because its unsophisticated character was often associated with a rustic flavor. However, due to its robust vitality, the buckwheat stood out as a cherished staple, enabling commoners to endure harsh winter and hardship in the past.
