Yangyang Memil Makguksu is a seriously hard to find Michelin restaurant that's deeply hidden in the residential districts. Mak-guksu (막국수) or buckwheat noodles (Similar to Japanese's Soba) is a Korean buckwheat noodle dish served in a chilled broth and sometimes with sugar, mustard, sesame oil or vinegar. It is a local specialty of the Gangwon province of South Korea, and its capital city, Chuncheon. This small, hideaway restaurant only has nine stall tables and an open area of Korean style low communal tables. In their half-open kitchen, the owner kneads buckwheat dough in a bowl as orders come in. They use 90% milled  buckwheat, 10% whole buckwheat and purified water to make the dough, thus its a 100% buckwheat thin noodles.Using whole  buckwheat makes the texture of the noodles coarse, chewier and its taste denser, thus it is made thinner than soba that you may experienced. As a dish, it is made of a very light cold beef brisket broth, thin, blanched buckwheat noodles, dried seaweed garnishes, whole sesame seeds and sesame oil, topped with marinated and fermented pollack strips before it arrive at your table. Homemade Kimchi and Asian pear slices is served together. Before you mix it with some Pollack strips or the red kimchi sauce, try some of the soft buckwheat noodles on their own. You will be able to savour the original and clean tasting chewy buckwheat noodles taste with a light cold broth and sesame flavours. It is a very refreshing summer dish. My other order is the blanched Pork Belly, which is done very well. Tender and juicy, definitely go very well with the cold noodles.
