(21 reviews)A long-standing, family-run tofu shop in Gangneung’s sundubu village that still makes its soft tofu by hand using the old dawn-to-morning method. Because they press and coagulate soy milk the traditional way every day, the tofu has a notably nutty, silky texture that locals and visitors praise. The menu focuses on -style sundubu and related dishes — the sundubu baekban (set meal) and the soft, smooth (whole tofu) are especially popular.
