Perched at the base of Jinburyeong Pass in Inje, this hwangtae (dried pollock) specialist is an ideal stop en route to Sokcho or Gangneung. The hwangtae-gukbap is the signature, with a milky-white broth simmered to a depth that recalls bone marrow stock while carrying the distinctive umami of sun-dried fish. Spooning rice into that broth on a cold morning creates the kind of restorative warmth that feels like it could cure anything. The hwangtae-gui set pairs the soup with grilled dried pollock in understated seasoning, with bones carefully removed for easy eating. The acorn jelly salad is a standout side, combining crunchy vegetables with a tangy-spicy dressing that refreshes the palate between rich bites. A dried pollock retail section inside the restaurant lets you purchase various products to take home. Lunchtime peak brings long waits and some dishes take time to prepare, so plan for a leisurely visit. At 15,000 won for the grilled set, the value is excellent.
