Jjambap eaten on the battleship Yamato, which was like the best hotel in World War II. JPG

Despite its splendid appearance, Yamato has a miserable actual battle record and is ultimately criticized as a hotel by mill lovers around the world.

However, there are many records showing that Yamato’s Jjambap was quite good, as if this nickname was completely unfounded.
