At Gyeongju Silla Bansang Surime , our menu follows the essence of the Korean jeongsik — a traditional set meal that grows in richness with each course. Rather than offering separate dishes to choose from, we begin with one signature meal — the Master’s Red Snow Crab Sundubu Set — and build upon it with additional side dishes and seasonal delicacies. In Korean dining, a jeongsik is not served course by course, but as a complete table setting — warm rice, soup or stew, and a harmony of many small dishes, all served at once. It reflects the Korean philosophy of balance and togetherness, where every element complements the others. No matter which you choose, the essence remains the same — sincerity, harmony, and the quiet beauty of a shared table. - Master’s Red Snow Crab Soft Tofu Set (₩15,000) Surime’s signature and foundational set meal.

In Korea, no traditional banquet is complete without a sweet and gentle ending. That role is often played by sikhye (식혜), a refreshing rice drink that has been cherished for centuries. At Surime, Gyeongju Silla Bansang, we prepare sikhye as a way of carrying on this custom, offering our guests a glimpse into how Koreans have closed their meals for generations.
Sikhye is made from just two simple ingredients—rice and malt—but the process transforms them into something extraordinary. The grains of rice float like small pearls in a clear golden liquid, carrying a delicate sweetness created naturally through fermentation. In the past, sikhye was served at royal banquets of the Silla Dynasty, as well as at family gatherings, holidays, and celebrations. It was more than a drink; it was a sign of care and hospitality.
At Surime, we serve sikhye at the end of our Silla Bansang Set Menu and alongside the Red Crab Tofu Stew. Guests often say that its light sweetness calms the palate and leaves them with a sense of harmony. For us, this is exactly the purpose of sikhye—to remind you that a meal is not just about taste, but about balance, health, and connection.
When you visit Gyeongju, a city that still carries the thousand-year spirit of Silla, we invite you to finish your dining journey at Surime with a cup of sikhye. May it refresh your body, warm your heart, and leave you with a memory of Korean tradition that lingers long after the last sip.
