If you’re traveling in Gangwon, don’t skip ongsimi — the region’s rustic potato-dumpling soup. Gonggane is a Sokcho favorite near the city center that focuses on that single comfort dish. The signature is served in an earthenware pot: a milky, warming broth dotted with translucent, pleasantly chewy potato dumplings. The taste is clean and nutty from the potatoes rather than bold seasonings, and the slightly savory broth feels especially soothing after a day of sightseeing. Many diners add (a buckwheat crepe filled with seasoned stuffing) as a side.
