Finding the best Kimbap in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Kimbap I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled doenjang fermented soy with genuine knowledge and the fiery and fermented result was noticeably superior.

Korean cuisine integrates fermented ingredients like kimchi as a health and preservation tradition. The winning restaurant had the right a home banchan spread feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. barley tea was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Kimbap is made properly it's a completely different experience.
