Sanmaru (산마루)
 
Gyeongsangnam-do(Geoje-si) ,
Nojasan Mountain extends from Geojae-eup to Hakdong, and right at the base of the Nojasan Natural Forest, a delightful restaurant made of lumberwood stands happily serving all customers. The restaurant doesn't stand out too much from its natural forest surroundings, as it takes on the same natural look as its environment. The restaurant is furnished with pulpwood, while the roomy interior is only sectioned off by paper sliding doors. On one side, the restaurant has a live stage, bringing a contemporary feel to the dining experience as well. Sanmaru vowed to provide food for all of its wayfaring visitors with Western and Korean menus such as pork cutlets, hamburg steaks, patbingsu (shaved ice with red bean topping), and their specialty, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi (special soybean paste stew in a hot pot). Unlike the regularly sold doenjang jjigae, the teungmi doenjang ttukbaegi dish is an excellent blend of Jeju's obunjagi tang and doenjang jjigae. This specialty has a sweet, savory taste without any unpleasant aftertaste.
