Located in Daehung-dong, Daejeon, Sonamujip has drawn locals for over 40 years by serving a single specialty: squid jjigae. The stew features a bright squid broth with plenty of radish and green onion and a touch of natural sweetness. Add (extra noodles) to enjoy it like a kalguksu-style noodle soup, and order the pan-fried dubu-buchim (tofu) to temper the spice with a nutty crunch.

Local Tips

  • Single-menu focus: spicy-sweet squid jjigae loaded with radish and green onions
  • Casual, long-running local spot with a private room; no parking—use public transit or call ahead
