Myeongnan Brand Research Institute is a private themed-experience venue in Busan dedicated to myeongnan (Korean salted pollock roe) — the cured-fish-roe specialty product that is one of Busan's signature regional food products and a long-standing Korean food-culture export to Japan. The center walks visitors through the history of myeongnan production in Korea, the technical-and-craft aspects of curing-and-preparation, the cultural-and-culinary role of myeongnan in Korean and Japanese food traditions, and contemporary myeongnan production and product development. Tasting opportunities and a small retail area selling premium myeongnan products are part of the experience. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean food culture and myeongnan as a specialty product.
