What is Korean-style eel?

Korean-style charcoal-grilled eel is a slightly different way of eating than Japan's ``eel kabayaki'' and ``unagiju.''
Its characteristics are:

1. Grill it over charcoal right in front of you like yakiniku, then cut it with scissors and grill it until crispy.
2. Wrap and eat ginger, garlic, kimchi, Chinese cabbage, perilla leaves, etc.
3. You can add sauce.

With this unique Korean way of eating eel, I felt a new charm of eel!
The eel is slowly grilled over charcoal, making it plump and thick, with a texture that melts in your mouth.
The crispy and fragrant eel and the julienned ginger were exquisite, and it was so delicious that it was easy to eat and disappeared in no time.
(Charcoal grilling seems to be a key point)

Recommended restaurant: 장어세상 (Jangosesan, Unagi Saesan)

This time I visited a store called "Jang-eo sesang". Literally translated, it means "the world of eel/eel world."
It seems to be a chain store with several stores in Seoul.

Google Maps Street View is from May 2018

The store we went to is about a 5-minute walk from Yaksu Station, so it takes about 20 to 30 minutes by train or bus from Myeong-dong in central Seoul.
Since it was a Sunday evening (before 8pm), we were able to enter the store right away. It seems to have been crowded until recently, and it's a popular restaurant with many good reviews.

Business hours:	11:00〜22:00 Last order 21:30

order:	Just by telling them the number of people, they prepared an eel set for the number of people (one eel per person) without having to order (lol)
cooking:	It said SELF, but the experienced staff grilled and cut everything for me.
