할매 재첩국 — Restaurant in Busan

역시, 입니다 A restaurant that makes you nostalgic for a bowl of stewed mackerel and daikon radish If you live in Busan and say, "I've eaten their jaecheopguk at least once," you probably know one out of 10 people. It's a mackerel stew and jaecheopguk restaurant that knows everyone by name.

I don't go there often because it's far away, but when I'm hungry in the early morning or when I have to stop by for work, I always pack a meal. It's been in business for a long time, so it's always been in the same spot, and it's always attracting people with the same flavor.

Jae chaengguk may be unfamiliar to those who don't know it, and the aroma may be overwhelming to some people. The main flavor is honestly bland because it's a small clam, but the soup made with it... those who really know it know it. It's light and refreshing, and it has a deep flavor that makes your stomach feel better.

Seomjin River Jaecheopguk is famous, but this restaurant is probably the number one in terms of sales in the whole country. It has a lot of regular customers, and the flavor is authentic.

And don't miss the stewed mackerel. If you scoop up some ripe radishes, you'll have a full bowl of rice.

Jaechapguk is a bowl of food that is truly precious to those who know how to eat it. If you know how to eat, please stop by this quietly...

This restaurant specializes in jaecheop-guk, a unique clam soup that can be found in Korea, particularly in Busan and the surrounding Gyeongnam region. It is a beloved local dish that is rare to find in other regions or countries. The soup has a delicate yet distinctive flavor with a subtle aroma that can be polarizing—some may not appreciate it, but those who love it, truly love it.

While there are a few places that serve jaecheop-guk, this restaurant is considered the best in Busan. Although the exterior and interior of the restaurant are quite old and worn-out, the quality of the food is unmatched. The rice served here is particularly outstanding—it is so delicious that you could easily finish a bowl with just some kimchi. The side dishes, such as braised mackerel and doenjang jjigae (fermented soybean paste stew), are also exceptional.

Originally run by the first-generation grandmother, the restaurant is now managed by her daughter-in-law, who has successfully preserved its incredible flavors. It is surprising that this place has not yet been featured in the Michelin Guide, considering how outstanding the food is.

The restaurant opens early at 7 AM, making it a great spot for...

This restaurant is very popular with a clear blue hangover soup made of marsh clams called jaecheop since 1944. Jaecheop is a small freshwater marsh clam found in the southern beach in Korea. It serves only two kinds of dishes like soups and steamed clam. Those are cheap of 6~10 dollars each. I am sad that the taste of this soup is getting worse. It is shaggy, noisy, and crowded, but it makes you feel locally in mood. One more tip! You will get a soup as soon as you take a seat if you do not order the other...
