Saisug Mensel (세스크멘슬)
Starting our avenue at Saisug Mensel, the renowned charcuterie expert located in Seongsu-dong. Renowned for their scrumptious sausage, bacon, and ham, this place is a hotspot for the meat-fancying crowd. A glass of beer or wine paired with their signature sausage platter ‘MEILI’ or the ‘BOCCHI’, a harmonious blend of cold cut and dry ham, is a real crowd-pleaser. Good news for wine connoisseurs, its corkage free! Or take yourself an indulgent selection home for an at-home soirée.
