American Tourist's Seoul Food Tour: Special Tuna in Garosu-gil
Two travelers who visited Seoul from the distant United States knocked on the door of Goldtuna Sinsa branch in Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil.
They recorded the exciting moments at the window seat overlooking Garosu-gil and the world of tuna courses, which differ in depth from the sushi they usually encounter.
With the scenery of Garosu-gil visible through the window, two travelers from the US are enjoying tuna and warm dishes.
A Culinary Experience Encountered During a Trip to Seoul
During their trip to Seoul, the two visited Goldtuna in Garosu-gil to fully experience the deep flavor of tuna.
They mentioned that in the area where they live in the US, there weren't many opportunities to encounter fresh fish dishes.
Even when visiting Japanese restaurants, they usually only ordered simple sushi-centered menus, and they cautiously shared that even those had high price barriers.
This was not a general environment, but a very personal and precious culinary memory that the two travelers felt while living their lives.

Art-like Tuna Spread over the Scent of Cypress
What first caught their eyes was the neat cypress tray. They showed continuous interest in the tuna divided by part, laid out like works of art with their own beautiful colors.
The composition, which went beyond simple sushi to a sophisticated course, was a new joy for them. The variation of warm grilled dishes and crispy fried food following the cold tuna added depth to the culinary experience.
For those unfamiliar with the culture, the order and the story contained within are as important as the taste of the food. The flow of first feeling the true flavor of tuna and then moving on to dishes imbued with warmth becomes a narrative in itself.
The smile of a guest facing selected tuna is a great joy for us as well.
Under the Window Where the Romance of Garosu-gil Seeps In
The window seats at Goldtuna Sinsa branch bring the scenery of Garosu-gil directly onto the dining table.
The warm natural light seeping through the glass windows makes the conversation between the two people sitting across from each other even more cozy.
This bright and cheerful space, chosen instead of the heavy atmosphere of traditional Japanese restaurants, was enough to turn the tension of a strange travel destination into a smile. The image of them giving a thumbs up became a record of sincerity clearer than anything else.
