Jangkobang Aged Kimchi Jjigae 장꼬방 묵은 김치찌개 전문

Near Nambu Bus Terminal, the smell of charcoal reaches you at the door, where pork is grilled right by the entrance. The aged-kimchi stew (mugeunji kimchi jjigae) is lighter than the usual oily version, closer to a cool kimchi broth with the sourness of long-fermented kimchi. Portions of the charcoal-grilled pork are modest, and a big, mildly seasoned rolled omelet fills the gap. Barely seasoned fish cake from the side dishes gets wrapped with rice in sheets of plain seaweed. Parking is free, with valet service. Rice, nurungji (scorched rice) and seaweed are self-serve, and hot water poured over the nurungji finishes the meal. At the counter, glutinous rice cakes carrying the restaurant's name are sold.
