Jinmi Sikdang (Soy-marinated Crab Specialist)
A Mapo spot built around whole, roe-filled soy‑marinated crabs (ganjang-gejang), kept available year‑round by −35°C flash-freezing. Their ginger‑fermented house soy sauce is the key to the deep, clean flavor.

(121 reviews)A small Mapo restaurant famous for one dish: ganjang-gejang (soy‑marinated blue crab). They buy seasonal, roe‑filled female crabs in bulk and flash-freeze them at −35°C so the same peak-quality crab is available year-round. The house uses a fermented soy sauce made with Seosan ginger to tame any fishiness and deepen umami. The menu is essentially only ganjang-gejang, so staff typically bring the meal without separate ordering: each diner receives a whole, roe-filled crab; the meat soaks up the soy and the creamy insides are a highlight. Seasonal side dishes vary but usually include eoriguljeot (fermented young oysters), gamtae (green laver), and gegukji (crab soup).
Local Tips
- •Whole, albaegi (roe-filled) crabs served one per person—meat soaks up the seasoned soy and the creamy insides are the star
- •Open daily 12:00–20:00; reservations and on-site parking available—staff usually bring the set without separate ordering
- •Try the gejang jeongsik (set meal) and taste the accompanying sides like eoriguljeot and gegukji for a complete experience
