Yeouido on a hazy, "television-tuned-to-a-dead-channel" sky sort of night.

It's been three years since my last post here. Better late than never, I guess.

Cafe Sasohan, also in Daejeon. And in fact, the owner designed Gumo Cafe (in the previous post), too. He made all the wooden furniture himself.

I loved this place. I liked Gumo Cafe a lot, too. But this place is a real treasure, hidden in a quiet residential alley not far from Daejeon Station. And the mugwort (ssuk) latte can’t be beat.
