K-foodie meets J-foodie

The city of taste and romance, Sapporo, awaits! After enjoying Sapporo's signature summer beer festival, the two head to Jogai Market. Master-steamed Hokkaido hairy crab and king crab, with Yubari melon for dessert—it's pure romance!

A soup curry restaurant run by seasoned grandmothers. Si-kyung, who used to boast about his tolerance for spicy food, gets teary-eyed, while Miyoshi remains completely calm? Time to soothe that burning mouth with a seasonal fruit sandwich. Si-kyung and Miyoshi's sweet and salty course is complete!

The two met at Yoichi Beach, the home of whiskey. A self-service barbecue following the sunset—this is just perfect! With the meat browning nicely over the charcoal, the atmosphere is in full swing. But Miyoshi has something to confess?

Si-kyung and Miyoshi visit the Sapporo Outer Market, where a feast of Hokkaido’s seafood bounty is spread out before them. Miyoshi bursts into laughter at Si-kyung’s humming—he’s clearly in high spirits—and decides to playfully probe into his dating style.

Si-Kyung and Miyoshi head out to taste *Jingisukan* (Hokkaido-style grilled lamb), a signature dish of the region. True to its reputation as a favorite haunt for Korean and Japanese stars, the flavor is guaranteed—they polish off six servings of lamb in no time. The conversation then shifts to the culture of Korean company dinners, and a single remark from Si-Kyung leaves Miyoshi wide-eyed with surprise.

The two headed to a *robatayaki* restaurant in Sapporo with a 72-year legacy. Charcoal-grilled snacks paired with drinks—the taste and atmosphere were simply superb! Then there was Miyoshi’s impressive appetite as she expertly dismantled a whole fish. She’s going to eat *that* part, too?

Three days, three sides of Jeju! Day one brings Miyoshi's friend, actor Airi Matsui. A feast of the women divers' fresh catch wows her and Si-kyung.

Fresh fish caught straight from the waters of Jeju, accompanied by delicious, lovingly prepared side dishes! Si-Kyung and Matsui are completely captivated by the *dol-dom* (striped beakfish) sashimi—served at a unique restaurant and prepared using a family's secret recipe. But then, Matsui suddenly launches a surprise attack using casual Korean speech?

The second dining companion is Lee Jae-hoon—a close friend of Si-Kyung’s who has been living on Jeju Island for 14 years! The two whet their appetites with Jeju’s signature *omegi-tteok* (millet rice cakes) before diving into a course meal featuring 15 varieties of seasonal seafood. Which dish, among all the fish they sampled, does Si-Kyung crown as the best of the year?

They arrive at Jae-hoon’s—a Jeju local—favorite black pork restaurant! As the meat sizzles on the grill, Jae-hoon shares his own special eating tips, leaving Si-kyung genuinely impressed and full of praise! Caught up in the excitement, the pair even compose an impromptu song on the spot. A delightful Jeju culinary adventure shared by two close friends!
