â–²Location: 32 Gukjegeumyung-ro 7-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu â–²Business hours: 11:00-21:00 every day â–²Price: Hanno Champon 8,000 won, Gobarou (small) 9,000 won â–²Review (Shikigin Everyday Pansuni): Gobarou really changes life.. It's really crispy on the outside, but I was surprised that it became chewy when soaked in sauce and was so soft without being hard or chewy overall!!!! I don't think the sauce contains glacial acid. It's sweet and sour, but it's nice that it's not excessive.
2. “Hongseol,†a mochi cafe using domestic adzuki beans
This cafe is famous for its “daifuku†made from domestic glutinous rice, red beans, and chestnuts.
