'Gangneung Champon Sundu Fudong Hwa Garden' was the first place to develop a champon sundubu menu in Korea. It's so popular that there are long lines even on weekday mornings. The signature menu is “Wonjo Champon ,†which combines fragrant champon soup with a fluffy puff. Soft sundubu neutralizes the spicy and sharp flavor of the soup and blends harmoniously. “Hand tofu,†which is made by grinding domestic soybeans and using seawater as a base, is also a popular menu item. At first , I recommend tasting the natural aroma of tofu and eating it with soy sauce and pickled sesame leaves. Please note that “Wonjo Chansoon †can only be ordered from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

I went there as soon as I opened the door in the morning, and there were quite a few people at that time too! After all, it's a gourmet restaurant. The combination of the cool champon soup and sundubu was definitely the best. This is the place that provided an opportunity for me to decide that if I eat champon in the future, I should roll up sundubu and eat it without throwing away the soup. I think those who like chuku-sundubu will be delighted. If you go to Gangneung, be sure to try it! It's the best
