Unless you read the small print on the sign for Hyun Premium Butcher Shop, you wouldn’t guess what the store’s specialty is.

At the new shop, on a nondescript stretch of Third Avenue in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood, the glowing display shelves are more reminiscent of what you’d find in a Chanel boutique.
