Chodang Tobagi Halmeoni Sundubu (Chodang Native Grandma Soft Tofu)

If you’re going to Gangneung, this is the Chodang Sundubu spot everyone says you must try!Right here!! 👏

This isn’t tofu made by machines ❌ —this place has been making tofu in a traditional cauldron the old-fashioned way for three generations👐.The tofu is steamed in a cauldron, making it even softer and richer in flavor ⭐️.

In the Gangwon-do dialect, sundubu (soft tofu) is called chodubu!Start by tasting the plain chodubu — no soy sauce needed, because it's already seasoned with natural brine.It’s so rich and silky that it practically melts in your mouth… 🥹.

Their Sundubu Hot Pot features a special clam called jjaebok (wild marsh clams),giving the broth deep umami and a refreshing clean flavor at the same time.Though it looks light, don’t be fooled — it’s surprisingly spicy and bold!

Since this is a pure tofu hot pot with no artificial seasoning,you’ll truly get to enjoy the natural taste of the tofu itself.
