A 24-hour restaurant that served a warm meal to many workers, including citizens who went to work early in the morning, late evenings for shift workers, and late-night taxis. The scenery that had been suspended for quite a while due to the restrictions on business hours due to the coronavirus has come back again. Here's a 24-hour restaurant that illuminates the dark, dark place where you can't see a single star, like a lighthouse.

A Haejang soup specialty store that has been operating for 3 generations since 1967. The signature dish, “Haejang soup,†is a soup with a refreshing flavor made from dried beef, filled with bean sprouts and seonji, and topped with finely minced meat and sauce. It's a style where plain rice is contained in Haejang soup, and the rice grains full of soup seem to go beyond alcohol even if you don't chew them. Soft beef meat is also popular.

A long-established store in Jamwon-dong. Since it is close to Sinsa Station, it is crowded even late at night with customers visiting for early morning hours. The signature menu is “Seolleungtang†served in an earthenware pot. The broth is made from meat, and the soup is transparent and clear, but it is a tough Haejang soup with some amount of fat. There is a kettle with kimchi soup on the table, so you can easily pour it into Seolleungtang and eat it.

A long-established shop that has maintained a tradition of about 80 years since 1942. Compared to other places, gomguk soup with a clear broth contains tender meat in a slightly cloudy, salty broth. The characteristic is that it is served at a moderately cooled temperature so that it can be slurped and eaten as soon as it comes out. The pickles that are marinated daily have a strong garlic flavor and go well with the rich flavor of gomguk soup. The “bone-mackerel†menu, which includes lots of fleshy bones used to make the Haejang soup stock, is a delicacy.
