[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Mirak Village near the Jangseongho lakeside trail is gaining attention as a ‘gourmet destination’ with delicious food.
According to the county on the 13th, Mirak Village, located at the starting point of the Hwangryong River and the lower reaches of Jangseongho, has long been loved as a specialty restaurant for freshwater fish dishes.
Each restaurant is known for its secret to eliminating fishy odors, which has built a loyal customer base.
Since the opening of the Jangseongho waterfront deck trail and suspension bridge, an average of 7,000 tourists visit on weekends, accelerating the development of commercial areas with cafes and bakeries opening.
In 2019, the county was selected for the ‘Namdo Food Street Contest Project’ worth 1 billion KRW, and has been working to continue the tradition of the ‘master of freshwater fish cuisine’ by creating a specialized eel set meal street in Mirak Village.
On the first day of the Chuseok holiday, the 9th, the ‘Chuseok Mirak Complex Concert’ promoted by the Mirak Complex Commercial Prosperity Association was held, receiving great response from visitors and local residents.
Kim Jongryul, chairman of the Prosperity Association, said, “We will regularly prepare cultural performances to provide abundant entertainment for Mirak Village customers.”
It is expected that the promotion of the ‘Namdo Food Culture Promotion Center Attraction’ and the ‘Creation of Jangseong’s 5 Major Food Streets,’ which are campaign pledges of the 8th local government of Jangseong County, will bring synergy effects to the development of Mirak Village.
A county official said, “We plan to systematically promote the branding of Mirak Village by operating a Namdo Food Street visitation month linked to the Hwangryong River Autumn Flower Festival in October, discovering tourist courses, and developing recipes.”
