Located along the southern coast of South Korea, Busan benefits from its coastal location, offering visitors gorgeous sea and mountain views and incomparable gastrocultural experiences.

As the Japanese Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea provide the city with an abundance of daily fresh catches, high quality seafood is the cornerstone of the local cuisine. If you’re a seafood lover, try odeng, fish cake skewers served in a rich broth. And don’t miss out on trying grilled eel, sashimi, and steamed crab. They taste unparalleled with various sauces.

If you can’t go without soups, we recommend that you try gukbap. This rich pork soup with rice and garlic will definitely be your favorite.
