The Dalbangatkan in Hwangnam-dong operates inside a traditional hanok structure, marked by its low-slung, dark tiled roof and timber frame. While many buildings in this district now serve as cafes or boutiques, this space functions as a dedicated mill for roasting and grinding sesame seeds. Owners here continue the labor-intensive process of extracting oil by hand, a method that requires constant temperature monitoring. The scent of toasted seeds often lingers in the air, drifting from the iron roasters tucked behind the wooden doors.
