Cheongdam Chueojeong Yatap 청담추어정 야탑점

The loach is ground so fine that not a single bone comes through, leaving a thick, nutty soup. Rice arrives yellow, cooked with turmeric, and sanghwang mushroom tea is poured in place of water. Sanghwang mushroom chueotang is the base version, with mud snail, black garlic and cordyceps variations, plus a set that adds soy-marinated crab. Anyone at the table skipping loach can have hanwoo bulgogi in an earthenware pot or a handmade pork cutlet.
