Pyo Mi-sook Noodle Restaurant, a rural restaurant that is known as a secret card among liquor stores in Yangpyeong, will close in June. Pyo Mi-sook (75, photo), the owner of Pyo Mi-sook’s noodle restaurant, has been loved by drinkers for her menu that boasts exceptional taste, such as steamed nogari, braised tofu with rich flavor, green onion kimchi and meatballs.
“You can’t devote your life to a restaurant, can you?””
When asked why he quit the store, he replied:
Pyo Mi-sook, who said, “I want to travel and go to a cafe in Act 2 of my life,” showed off her five-year-old anchovy chopsticks, saying she will move to a rural house she bought in Gangsang-myeon to make food such as green onion kimchi and water parsley and sell it online.
Pyo Mi-sook, who was born in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do and graduated from Gochang Girls’ High School, raised a daughter after divorce in her 40s and devoted herself to her livelihood to the extent that she has never done anything other than snacks in Seoul and Anyang. Then his health deteriorated, and he moved from Seoul to Yangpyeong 25 years ago. Pyo Mi-sook says, “In order to regain health and make money, I chose Yangpyeong with good scenery, good air, and good water, and as a result, I achieved what I wanted.”
Pyo Mi-sook, who was confident in her cooking skills, put her name on the store sign. “Pyo Mi-suk noodles are open 24 hours a day.” The restaurant, which also serves as a small store and restaurant, began to be rumored to be a good restaurant by the people of Yangpyeong. The secret of Pyo Mi-sook’s taste lies in healthy ingredients. Vegetables bought from Yangpyeong Market, sesame oil and perilla oil, salted shrimp in kimchi, salted yellow corvina, and salted anchovies are also used.
The unique and rural atmosphere, which also serves as a small store and graffiti of customers filling the restaurant walls, also played a part. When you open the rattling sliding door, the owner who was reading the newspaper with a magnifying glass in the room attached to the store greets the guest. For your information, she subscribes to the Dong-A Ilbo regularly throughout her life. It’s because I like it. If you wake up the owner who was sleeping even at dawn, it is a house where they serve alcohol without complaining.
There was a time when Pyo Mi-sook’s noodle restaurant was shaken for a while. This is because it was introduced as a hidden restaurant in Yangpyeong on a TV program hosted by a famous cartoonist. The rhythm was broken by sudden crowds of customers, but now it is back to normal.
But nothing lasts forever. He is a member of the Japanese Society of Japan’sincerely yours. Like this scribble on the wall of the store, if you meet someone, you break up, and if you break up, you meet someone else.
Seventy-five-year-old Pyo Mi-sook plans to close the “Pyo Mi-sook Noodle Restaurant” in June and travel to Zhangjiajie, China. After the trip, she plans to open an online handmade kimchi company that sells green onion kimchi mixed with her specialty, green onion kimchi, on the Internet. Pyo Mi-sook is saying goodbye to regulars she has grown attached to for about two months.
