Naengmyeon at Pyongyang Restaurant, Seoul (Interior): At Pyongyang restaurant, bowls of Naengmyeon arrive—thin buckwheat noodles in icy cold, lightly tangy beef broth, garnished with sliced Korean pear, boiled egg, cucumbers, and mustard. Accompanied with vinegar and mustard on the side. Servers wear crisp white shirts and gray waistcoats. The interiors evoke North Korean aesthetic with muted tones, simple wooden furniture, and soft fluorescent lighting. A food photographer shoots close-ups of translucent noodles lifted by chopsticks, chilled broth glistening, and laid-back diners—capturing cool refreshment and delicate flavor balance.
