Fujii Mina, who has a special love for Korea, visits ‘Baekban Gihaeng’.

On TV CHOSUN‘s ‘Gourmet Heo Young-man’s Baekban Gihaeng’, which airs today (the 16th) at 8:50 PM, the first part of a two-part series about the epic journey to Tokushima, Japan, a land of mysterious nature, will be revealed. On this day, Fujii Mina, an actress in her 20th year since her debut and active mainly in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, will appear as a local guide.

Gourmet Heo Young-man is impressed by Fujii Mina‘s fluent Korean. When asked “Why do you speak Korean so well?”, Mina answered, “I naturally took up Korean as a hobby due to the influence of my parents who usually like Korean dramas. In particular, I wanted to watch the drama “Winter Sonata” starring Bae Yong-joon without subtitles,“ she said, revealing that she is a fan of ‘Yonsama’ Bae Yong-joon, the protagonist of the first-generation Korean Wave.

Fujii Mina also met her fans in Korea through the drama ‘The King of Dramas’, and has continued her affectionate actions by appearing in various entertainment programs and uploading videos in Korean on her YouTube channel.

Next, Heo Young-man and Fujii Mina, who are exploring various restaurants in Tokushima, go to meet the sea bream salt ramen that can only be found in Tokushima, the city of ramen. The broth made only with sea bream head and bones boasts a distinct flavor and light taste, and the texture of the noodles is also superb. Another hidden gem here is the sea bream sashimi. A whole, bouncy sea bream with an overwhelming visual is served, boasting a generous portion and flavor that is hard to believe for its price. Next, they will experience the stir-fried chicken intestines and chicken leg set menu, where they can truly experience the Tokushima native chicken ‘Awa Odori. The gourmet who tasted the signature menu, grilled chicken legs, praised the savory taste of Awa Odori, saying, “It tastes like a fourth meat that is neither chicken, pork, nor beef.”.

Meanwhile, Fujii Minah and the gourmet visit the Naruto Strait, one of the world’s three largest currents and a must-see travel course in Tokushima, a healing travel destination south of Osaka, Japan. The two boarded a cruise ship to get a closer look at the spectacular view, which is considered a ‘must-see’ and will continue to exclaim in awe as they watch the giant whirlpools, saying, “It‘s like we’re in another world.”.
