Muan-gun Promotes Development of Premium Muan Nakji Dishes

Development of Nakji Single Dish and Alternative Dishes for Fishing Ban Period

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County has embarked on developing dishes using octopus, a representative local specialty, to revitalize food tourism.

To attract tourists and stimulate the local economy, the county selected seven chefs with excellent cooking skills and a strong willingness to participate from among 22 octopus cuisine restaurants within the Matdonamdo Premium Food Street, forming a cooking development TF team.

The cooking development TF team has been meeting regularly twice a month since their first meeting on the 10th, proactively discussing menus and transforming existing octopus dishes to create recipes that all generations can enjoy.

They are also conducting research on affordable and delicious single octopus dishes and alternative menus for the fishing ban season using local specialties.

Once the cooking development is complete, the recipes and octopus restaurants will be shared and supported for commercialization. Through cooking experience content and single dish tastings linked to the premium Namdo Food Street project, they plan to widely promote the flavors of Muan.

A Muan County official stated, “We will discover menus that visitors will remember after just one taste, captivate tourists’ palates, and activate food tourism in connection with octopus cuisine restaurants.”
