A Sunrise Journey to Pyeongchang, Relishing the Fresh Taste of Trout

At dawn, as the sky over Suwon gradually brightened and the sun rose in a crimson hue, I set off for Pyeongchang. Watching the sunrise from the car made the scenery outside the window feel even more special and filled me with anticipation for the day ahead. The roads were almost empty, and soft music played in the background during the serene early morning drive. Though my body felt a bit tired, my heart felt strangely light. The air in Gangwon Province in the early morning was distinctly fresh, and even the breeze carried a crisp, clean sensation. Upon arriving in Pyeongchang, I headed straight to a renowned trout restaurant. The freshly caught trout had a firm and springy texture. When I wrapped it in a leaf, dipped it generously in spicy sauce, and took a bite, the chewy texture and refreshing umami flavor instantly woke me up. Not wanting to stop at just sashimi, I ordered spicy trout stew as well. The broth was incredibly rich and spicy, perfectly warming me up on a chilly morning. Starting the day with a sunrise departure from Suwon and savoring trout in Pyeongchang, this journey felt like the epitome of a peaceful and fulfilling day. 📍 Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province - Famous Trout Sashimi Restaurant
