Halmeoni Gopchang 할머니곱창

Halmeoni Gopchang is a pork intestine restaurant in Sapgyo-eup, Yesan-gun, South Chungcheong Province, an establishment that has held its spot for decades and built a devoted following. The grilled gopchang requires patient stirring with a wooden spatula until fully cooked, at which point any pork odor disappears, leaving only a rich, savory aroma. A proprietary red sauce serves as the defining element, its sweet-spicy punch locking into the chewy texture of the intestines. The gopchang jeongol features a clean, refreshing broth free of bitterness, best ordered as the grill portion winds down. Finishing with fried rice in the remaining broth completes the meal. Each table receives a complimentary bottle of cider. Portions are generous at roughly 12,000 won per person, representing strong value. Parking accommodates seven to eight cars in front of the restaurant, with roadside parking as an overflow option.
