“Central Restaurant†is full of customers looking for bean noodles when the weather is hot. They sell eel soup and grilled eel, but only bean noodles are sold in the summer. The signature menu, “Kongguksu,†is served with white noodles and large ice floats on immaculate soybeans without any garnish. It is characterized by using noodles picked directly from the store to make the most of its chewy texture. The thick soybean paste seeps through the plump noodles and fills the mouth with a savory flavor. At first, you can enjoy the natural aroma and then add an appropriate amount of sugar on the table to add a richer flavor.

In particular, mizutaki has plenty of mung beans on top, and if you eat it in one bite with chicken, it's JMT!
