Nwijo

Nwijo, a Korean traditional full-course restaurant, offers course meals made with hundreds of wild herbs, including wild herbs available year-round and seasonal wild herbs. The restaurant's name, Nwijo, refers to the god of silkworms, and it is said to have been named with the meaning that, just as a silkworm gives its entire body to humans, wild herbs can be eaten entirely without waste. The meal begins with pumpkin porridge, followed by seasoned wild herb salads, root mixed dishes, red ginseng wraps, and boiled pork slices. The meal concludes with lotus leaf-wrapped steamed rice, stew, and various side dishes, finished with sweet rice punch. The lunch menu includes hyssop, and there are course meals featuring motherwort and fall chrysanthemum, as well as seafood scallion pancakes, royal hot pot, and assorted pancakes.
