Hello, if you visit Busan in the cold season, you'll want to eat some spicy food to warm you up. Hidden away in a backstreet in the Busan tourist hotel area, which is frequented by many Japanese tourists, is Jukmi Street, where you can grill octopus on a wire rack over a charcoal fire.
In the evening, this place becomes so lively that there is a line of people waiting to have a drink and eat chukumiyaki (seasoned grilled octopus) grilled over charcoal.
When you enter Jukmi Street at night, the fragrant smell of grilled jukmi fills the air. The most popular restaurant on Jukmi Street is Tungbokjip, which has a yellow sign at the entrance.
Jjukkumiyaki is seasoned with a sweet and spicy gochujang (chili paste) base and grilled over a briquettes fire. You can enjoy the soft and chewy jjukkumi that is exquisitely intertwined with the mild and firm texture of the flat octopus and the spicy and sweet sauce!
The interior of Tunbochi is divided into two floors.
The spicy grilled chukmi is also a great snack to go with Korean soju.

Bean sprout rice for 4,000 won
Jjukumi is an octopus with short legs, about 20cm long, compared to the natchi (long-legged octopus) used in natchi-bokkeum. In Japan, it is called iidako, and contains more taurine, which is useful for preventing adult diseases, than octopus or squid. It is a healthy food with low calories and a good balance of minerals and vitamins.
Boasting a tradition of over 30 years, Jukmi Street still retains the atmosphere of Busan's old streets, with about five Jukmi specialty shops lined up along the narrow alley, making it a popular spot for young people, couples, and local office workers.
If you are staying at the Busan Tourist Hotel or a hotel in Nampo-dong, please stop by this place. You can experience a real down-to-earth, old-time Busan izakaya.
