mountain cafeteria

This humble mountain restaurant is situated at the mid-slope of Mt. Gaji near Mt. Eok, which is famous for its magnificent mountain range. Many Koreans enjoy hiking around here on weekends. This cafeteria serves some food and alcoholic beverages. The name of this cafeteria, Rice rock refuge, is written on the wood sign board on the top of the pavilion. Rice grain looking rock is near here. In winter, we have sometimes heavy snow in the mountain area, and this pavilion is also used for refuge for hikers.

The menu is written on the roof, which means Soju(distilled liquor), Beer, Herb tea, Herb liquor, Dongdongju(Liquor fermented from rice), Coffee, Boiled fish paste, Instant noodle, Handmade Soybean curd and Arrowroot juice from the very left. Some liquor in plastic bottles is seen on the table. Boiled fish paste is also kept on the boil in a cauldron. Some instant noodles are put inside the window.
