About

Jeju's heukdwaeji (black pork) is one of the island's most celebrated culinary specialties, and the Black Pork Alley near Jeju City is the best place to try it. Jeju black pigs are a native breed raised on the island for centuries, known for their distinctly rich, marbled meat with a deeper flavor than standard pork belly. The pork is typically grilled over charcoal without marinade, allowing the natural quality of the meat to speak for itself, and served with fresh garlic, chili, and ssamjang. It is considered essential eating on any trip to Jeju.
