2012 Makgeolli Festival (우리술대축제)
Posted October 13, 2012 by Aaron
If this year's Makgeolli Fest is even half as good as last year's, it is not to be missed! There were dozens of booths all offering free samples of makgeolli in the hopes that you'll buy.

Seafood Dynamite Casserole
We tried something called "Sushi Pizza" at a Japanese fusion restaurant in Hawaii years ago. We really loved this dish and made our own version at home.
