DATA

Ingredients follow the general recipe in the cited encyclopedia articles, not any particular shop.
Prices and chains come only from official brand menus, ordering pages and store lists, each with the date checked. VAT-exclusive menu prices are also shown with VAT added.
“Typical” prices are the Korea Consumer Agency’s Seoul averages (September 2026) and exist for eight dishes only. Franchise sites rarely publish prices because they vary by store, so chain menu prices are shown as not published.
