The increase in single-person households and the spread of COVID-19 are changing our daily lives everywhere. In particular, âhonbap,â where many people avoid eating together and eat alone, has become a new trend in eating out. Unlike honbap in the past, which was simple and quick to eat, recently the number of people leisurely enjoying the menu they wanted by themselves has increased, and the number of restaurants catering to honbap people is increasing. Starting with ramen made from pork bones and beef bones, grilled mackerel that has been gently grilled over charcoal with a fine side dish and a grilled fish meal that you can enjoy, and pasta made from homemade raw noodles made directly at the store! Here are 5 of the best honbap restaurants where you can focus on your meal.
1. âRairaikenâ at the entrance of Seoul National University, a broth that wraps tightly around the tongue

âRairikenâ has the optimal flavor by varying the thickness of the noodles and cooking time depending on the type of broth and toppings used in the ramen. The signature menu, âTonkotsu Ramen,â added flavor from beef bones and pork skulls to the broth over a long period of time with a special soy sauce. The rich broth seeps through the thin noodles and enhances the rich flavor. If you feel slightly greasy, it's a good idea to clean your mouth with fresh kimchi.
