Discover the Delights of Jeju’s Sea Urchin: A Taste of the Ocean’s Bounty

Sea urchin, called “seongge” or “bamsongi jogae” in Korean, is known differently in Jeju as “gusal.” Jeju sea urchins are best harvested during the summer. It is featured in various dishes such as Sea Urchin and Seaweed Soup, Cold Raw Sea Urchin Soup, and Noodle Soup with Sea Urchin. One need only put sea urchin on rice and add a dash of sesame oil to find how good it can be: Sea urchin spreads like a soft and rich cream cheese, filling the rice with a taste of the sea. It is a dish that captures everything good about the seas of Jeju.
