Daechang

What exactly is it?

Cleaned beef large intestine is grilled in plump pieces. It has a particularly fatty, yielding texture compared with small intestine. Ordering it with tripe or gopchang makes the contrast between cuts clear.

Main ingredients

Beef large intestine, salt or marinade, chives, garlic

Ordering and serving

Fat dripping onto the grill can make flames rise; let staff handle the grill where that service is provided. A mixed order lets you compare its richness with other cuts.

Origins and changes

The name identifies the large-intestine cut within beef-offal grilling. KTO describes pairing it with firmer tripe so diners can compare contrasting textures.

Gopchang

곱창

Main ingredients
Beef or pork intestines, salt or seasoning, chives and onion
Flavor and character
Beef gopchang refers to small intestine, grilled for its rich flavor and chew. Pork gopchang menus may instead serve intestines stir-fried with vegetables and glass noodles. Check the animal and preparation, not just the shared name.
How to eat it
Even pre-grilled pieces may need finishing; follow the staff’s instructions. An assorted platter contains more than gopchang, so ask for a cut guide if it is your first order.
