Jeongok Yangpyeong Haejangguk 전곡양평해장국

Jeongok Yangpyeong Haejangguk is a Yangpyeong-style haejangguk specialist in Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province, and stands as one of the area's most recognized local destinations. Yeoncheon is a region known for weekend drives and short getaways from Seoul, and this restaurant has become part of the local rhythm, used both as a daily breakfast stop by Jeongok residents and as a place to round off a day trip through the area. The signature menu is the Yangpyeong-style haejangguk, a hearty soup loaded with seonji (coagulated ox blood), ugoji (dried cabbage outer leaves), offal, and bean sprouts. A meat-only version without seonji is also available and draws consistent orders. The base broth arrives on the mild side, and the table is set with salt, chili oil, perilla powder, and minced chili for diners to season according to their own taste, a format that earns particular appreciation from haejangguk regulars who prefer full control over the final flavor. The kkakdugi and white kimchi are cited repeatedly for their quality, drawing involuntary second helpings. Meongmil-jeon (buckwheat pancakes) and other side dishes round out the menu. Saturday mornings and the New Year's sunrise season draw large enough crowds to fill the parking lot, so weekday mornings or the period just before lunch offer a more relaxed visit. The restaurant functions well as a warm-up or closing stop on itineraries that include Hantan River or Jae-in Falls.
