Maturing Time.

Summer Jeju Part 2,

where the neat soba dishes were impressive.

#NamuSikttak

The harmony of warm wood and colorful food made me feel like I was in a quaint, pretty Japanese village.

Cool Cheonggyul Soba,

It’s my first time eating fried squid..! The chewy, colorful bits underneath are the leg parts.

And then, the warm mackerel noodles,, The sweet soy sauce broth completely masked the mackerel’s fishy smell, and it was deliciously warm.

Looking outside from inside the restaurant, the tranquil and serene village scenery purified both my body and mind.

I heard there was a prop shop near the restaurant, so I came in.

#SaenghwalDogujeom

It was filled with truly beautiful and radiant items.. This space brought peace to my eyes and heart. I wanted to take the whole thing home with me,, Even the afternoon sunlight streaming through the window bars was perfect…✨

Soft tulip colors,,

It was drizzling, so I bought a diffuser that smelled like a damp forest. Enjoyed looking around -

Behind the shop, there were white chairs and tables that blended with the greenery. On a cool day, sitting there, drinking tea and reading a book… A moment where I envied the shop owner…

Find the hidden little one,,🐶

Jeju has many local bookstores, so many people go on bookstore tours. It would be nice to explore them like that next time I come to Jeju!

#AnotherPage

A rich curation in a small space,,

There was also a space where recommendations were written. A poetry collection I picked up after reading these recommendations.

#AchimeunSaenggakhanda

There’s also a space for people to quietly read books. I love the peaceful time enveloped in silence -

Two books I brought from AnotherPage, because I love summer and wanted to remember Jeju in summer. I chose the book #AmuteunYeoreum.

The light also enters the accommodation beautifully. So atmospheric,, lol.

Ahhh, so peaceful, so happy - The view outside from the accommodation. It feels like a European countryside village.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark, the view from the bedroom,,, so happy,,,

A raw fish party after some relaxation,, hahaha Galchi-hoe (beltfish sashimi), ttaksaeu (mantis shrimp), godeungeo-hoe (mackerel sashimi) all together!

A precious liquor I scored at the accommodation’s convenience store,

#WonSoju #wonsoju

If you scan the barcode, Jay Park’s voice comes outㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Moving from white wine to Won Soju to whiskey, another night in Jeju faded with drinks,,, It was summer,,,
