Sigol Sundae is a sundae (Korean blood sausage) specialist in Gunsang-ri, Jinan-eup, Jinan-gun, Jeonbuk. Situated near Jinan Market and the bus terminal, the restaurant has occupied the same spot for decades. Its cornerstone is traditional pi-sundae (blood sausage) made with local Jinan black pork: unlike the glass-noodle-heavy sundae found elsewhere, the casing is packed tightly with fresh blood curd and assorted vegetables, producing a creamy, deeply savory bite that intensifies with each chew. Pi-sundae is priced at roughly 15,000 to 25,000 KRW (small or large portion), and sundae-gukbap runs around 9,000 to 10,000 KRW, served in a clear yet rich broth loaded with offal and blood sausage slices. Additional gukbap variations such as meori-gukbap (head meat) and naejang-gukbap (intestine) give diners further options. The broth arrives without perilla powder pre-mixed, keeping it clean and light; seasoning is adjusted to taste with chive salad or salted shrimp at the table. Banchan befitting a Jeolla-do kitchen, fresh kimchi, kkakdugi, and aged kimchi, complement the meal well. The dining room carries the warm, well-worn character of a market-district institution, drawing steady crowds at lunchtime. Solo diners ordering a single bowl of gukbap are entirely welcome. On-site parking is limited, but the Jinan Market public lot nearby resolves the issue easily. The restaurant closes once ingredients run out, so a phone call ahead is advisable for late-afternoon visits.
