Jinmi Sikdang is a Korean restaurant that has been serving Kong-guksu (Noodles in Cold Soybean Soup) with devotion for 45 years at the corner of Munbae-dong, Yongsan-gu. The founder who started and operated Jinmi Siktang moved to Seoul 45 years ago and made Kong-guksu and Ramyeon (Ramen.) The tradition of Jinmi Siktang, handed down from parents to sons, is that only fresh local ingredients are to be used.

Even now, they only use wangtaeman purchased from Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, to make fermented soybean paste. In the summer, the delicacy Kong-guksu is served. Cheonggukjang (Rich Soybean Paste) and Kong-guksu, made with wangtae beans, which have no fishy smell and are suitable for health, are receiving favorable reviews from customers for their light and rich taste. Jinmi Siktang’s unique rule of purchasing only the ingredients needed for the day and consuming them all is still thoroughly maintained even after 45 years.
