Onjium is a traditional culture research institute with a culinary studio that features royal Joseon cuisine by founder and chef Jo Eun-hee. The institute strives to bring fading traditional tastes back to the modern kitchen and pass this knowledge onto future generations. Diners can savor the unique flavors of tangpyeongchae (mung bean jelly salad), Jinju-style galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), and haesamjeung—prepared sea cucumber, jokpyeon (jellied cow trotters), abalone, and neungi mushrooms. Opening in 2018, Onjium received one Michelin star for three consecutive years since 2019.
