Namusairo Coffee
나무사이로 내자
Seoul · Sajik-dong, South Korea
Why it’s on the route
Namusairo is one of the early names in Korean specialty coffee, known for hand-drip brewing and for roasting coffee designed to taste consistent wherever it is brewed. Its Love Letter blend, built on a floral Ethiopian coffee, scored 92 points on Coffee Review in 2014, reported as a first for a Korean roaster. The Sajik-dong café near Gwanghwamun occupies a hanok with a small inner courtyard, cosy indoors with a few outdoor seats.
