(16 reviews)A Ganghwa island institution famous from TV and press for its hearty kkotgetang (flower-crab stew). Travelers and local food lovers stop here for generous, meaty crabs simmered in a doenjang-based stock that’s bright and clean. The house adds danhobak (sweet pumpkin) to the broth, which gives a gentle, honeyed note as the soup cooks down. Because the crabs are large, there’s plenty of meat to pick through, and after you finish the crab the thickened broth is perfect for adding ramen or sujebi. Order bendaengi-muchim or ganjang-gejang as side dishes if you want a more filling meal.
