(18 reviews)Recognized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups as a 'Baeknyeon Gage' (long-running traditional shop), this Anmyeon-do restaurant is widely credited as the original maker of Anmyeon-do ge-gukji. Featured often in local media and on social channels, it draws both tourists and residents for its home-style crab-and-kimchi stew. Ge-gukji is a Chungcheong regional dish — a kimchi stew cooked with crab — said to have originated from using leftover crab and marinated crab juices in an era when food was scarce. This kitchen tones down any fishiness with dried shrimp and perilla seed powder, producing a deep, approachable flavor. The soup is boldly seasoned with Cheongyang chili for heat; scooping sweet, plump crab meat into the spicy broth is a simple, irresistible pleasure.
