The rice that captivated the taste of the king is here, Icheon Rice Street

Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, is the representative region of Korean rice. People often do not hesitate to pick Icheon rice as ‘the best and best rice in Korea’. 《Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram》 says, “When King Seongjong visited the tomb of King Sejong in Yeoju and returned to Hanyang, he stayed in Icheon. There is a record that it has risen to. The excellence of Icheon rice is also shown in 《Haengpoji》, an agricultural book written by Seo Yu-gu. If you go to Icheon, Icheon rice restaurants are gathered along Gyeongchung-daero along National Road No. 3 in front of Dasan High School, passing Kichimi Pass, and reaching Soul Pass in the north. With rice cooked in a stone pot, there are plenty of side dishes such as crab in soy sauce, steamed short ribs, grilled fish, cold cuts, wheat crackers, etc., making those on an autumn outing happy.
