meju NYC – 한국의 전통 발효음식 ‘된장, 간장, 고추장’으로 미슐랭1스타⭐️

Meju is Chef Hooni Kim’s third restaurant, tucked away behind a small banchan shop in Queens, not Manhattan :) Unlike his previous restaurants (Danji, Hanjan), Meju focuses on traditional Korean fermented foods and has earned a Michelin star for its dedication. Here, the emphasis is not on just eating the dishes, but on learning about the 3 essential Korean sauces – doenjang, ganjang, and gochujang – and savoring the true essence of these fermented ingredients. You can taste the sauces Chef Hooni has personally fermented and aged over the past 10 years, as well as a 129-year-old seed soy sauce that his mentor made in Jeju Island :) As someone familiar with fermented sauces and foods as a Korean, I’m excited to see how Meju presents and reinterprets these traditional flavors ❤️ 🐝 Pro tip Meals here can take at least 3 hours, so make sure to set aside plenty of time for your visit :) 📍Meju 5-28 49th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 WED to SAT 6:30 PM – 9:45 PM ⏰ Tock 🪄 Copyright © 2023-2024 by nurigo_official.
