A 40-plus-year neighborhood gamjaguk restaurant near the 4·19 Democracy Cemetery area in Suyu-dong, known for a clear, light broth distinct from typical thicker gamjatang. The restaurant relocated a short distance to a larger space on Suyu's gisa-sikdang (taxi-driver restaurant) street in 2023, re-registering its business at the new address; only medium and larger portion sizes are offered (no small size). Evening and weekend waits are common. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
