Description

A legendary 30-year-old Gakjaegi Soup hotspot, now even known by celebs! ⭐️ Perfect as a bar snack or a full meal. The Gakjaegi Soup pairs excellently with their uniquely roasted whole fried anchovies ("Mel Twigim")—umami-packed and irresistibly tasty. They also serve a side bowl of doenjang sauce—great for dipping the anchovies in or just cabbage—delicious either way 🥄 To top it off, they even treat you to a complimentary grilled mackerel! 👍🏻 The fried anchovies include heads and bones, which might sound off-putting—but because they're fried, they’re actually light and nutty in flavor. Plus, the bones are soft! 😉 If you're in Seoul, it's nearly impossible to find a proper Gakjaegi Soup—so if you're visiting Jeju, this is a must-try dish. Using fresh bluefish anchovies, the broth is deep, warm, and truly chef’s kiss level—it'll make you go “ahhh~”! The braised Gakjaegi is a total rice-stealer—✨. Being a blue-backed fish like mackerel, it shares a similar texture, but the taste has its own distinct umami depth. Here’s the ultimate routine: Dip some fish and sauce into rice, take a spoonful of that, then sip a slurp of the soup—repeat and bliss! 👅
