How to order Address & map

Chiaksan Hanwoo Uriso Ganhyeon Branch (치악산한우 우리소 간현점) is a hanwoo (한우) restaurant in Ganhyeon, Jijeong-myeon, Wonju, in Gangwon Province. Hanwoo is Korean native beef, and Wonju City lists Uriso (우리소) among the specialty stores and restaurants for Chiaksan Hanwoo, one of the city's specialty products.

What the windows said in June 2020

Uriso's windows in my June 2020 photo list these prices in won:

  • yukhoe (육회), seasoned raw beef: ₩25,000
  • mul naengmyeon (물냉면), cold noodles in broth: ₩6,000, and bibim naengmyeon (비빔냉면), cold mixed noodles: ₩7,000
  • gomtang (곰탕), beef-bone soup: ₩8,000, and galbitang (갈비탕), short-rib soup: ₩12,000
  • yukhoe bibimbap (육회비빔밥), rice topped with seasoned raw beef: ₩10,000
  • Wonju ppongnipbap (원주뽕잎밥), rice with mulberry leaves: ₩10,000, marked until 15:00 and from two servings
  • beoseot bulgogi (버섯불고기), bulgogi with mushrooms: ₩12,000, marked from two servings

Those are Uriso's 2020 prices, not today's. Wonju City's tourism site lists mulberry-leaf rice among five representative Wonju dishes. Red lettering on one window reads 셀프 정육 식당, and the sign above it reads 원주시 치악산 한우 전문판매점 (Wonju City Chiaksan Hanwoo specialty store).

Raw cuts and the charcoal grill

The lettering 셀프 정육 식당 points to a self-service butcher-shop restaurant, a jeongyuk-sikdang (정육식당), a format where diners in general choose raw cuts at a meat counter and grill them at the table. I can't tell from my photos how ordering works here, so ask the staff.

Chiaksan Hanwoo, and where to find Uriso

Wonju City says Chiaksan Hanwoo (치악산한우) is bred by planned crossbreeding of good bloodlines for consistent flavor and color, raised on the same feed at each stage, and processed at a HACCP-certified plant (page updated May 2024). The city's tourism site lists Uriso at 14 Sogeumsan-gil among the privately run facilities of Sogeumsan Grand Valley (page updated July 2022), and the agricultural technology center places Uriso in the Ganhyeon amusement area (간현유원지) with the phone number 033-747-4714.
