Korea National Souvenir Center Staff Recommended : Insa-dong Traditional Tea House

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center in Insa-dong, Seoul.

Insadong has many Korean traditional teahouses

with a peaceful atmosphere.

Trusted traditional tea houses recommended by National Souvenir Center employees!

I prepared Jidaebang(지대방) review today :-)

 

 

---

 

 

The store was opened in 1982 and

is said to be the oldest traditional tea house in Insa-dong which has remained open so far.

Trust is more blustering, isn't it?


Jidaebang is located in the middle of Insa-dong, just five minutes away from our store !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you walk up the stairs to the second floor,

a door that looks like a traditional Korean house gate is welcoming you !

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each artifact, every wall has a sense of time and atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The menu is really unique in this store.

 

They put a menu in a bamboo barrel like this.

It was the most distinctive menu I've ever seen.

 

 

 

" We don't carry instant labor here,

but we collect or buy materials from

mountains and fields around the country

and make it by hand. "

 

 

 

It was written on the menu, but

so after reading this, I felt a lot of excitement!

 

It's very reliable!

 

 

 

 

We ordered ice omija tea and ripe persimmon tea !

 

 

Omija tea is brewed with Omija's fruit,

which has five different taste. 

 

 

 

It is known to be effective when you catch a cold.

 

 

 

Isn't the color really pretty?

Maybe it's because they don't use instant,

 and they're using the original color of the material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Both of the dishes were delicious because they were moderately sweet.

I will visit again to eat flower tea and roast rice cake that I have not eaten yet.

When you visit Insa-dong,

How about to stop by the Jidaebang and Korea National Souvenir Center XD
