Sobok Sobok 소복소복

A soba noodle restaurant in Wonju's Munmak-eup, Gangwon-do, near the famous Bangye-ri ginkgo tree. Shrimp soba and eel soba are the main draws, with the shrimp tempura earning such acclaim for its crispness that some visitors call it a tempura restaurant disguised as a soba shop. Dipping the shrimp tempura briefly into the soba broth creates a delightful contrast of crispy and moist textures. Stray tempura batter floating in the broth adds a nutty richness when scooped with the soup. The pickled radish infused with yuzu adds a refreshing finish - even self-described damuji skeptics reportedly enjoy it here. The shop closes early when ingredients run out, so reserving through Catch Table or arriving early is advisable.
