Good bibimbap is very easy to digest. The neat taste and the appearance of the bibimbap is reminiscent of a newlywed bride. Above all, the secret of Jeonjujip is that they don't use any processed ingredients. Doenjang (soybean paste), gochujang (red pepper paste), and cheongguk-jang (rich soybean paste), as well as roasted salt and sesame oil are all made in the restaurant.

Boksa Village provides a wonderful glimpse into the rural agricultural lifestyle of Korea. Visitors can pick their own fruit directly from the tree to enjoy right away, as well as make a scarecrow or spread green tea fertilizer around the trees to help them grow.
