Jeil Kongjip

Jeil Kongjip, located in Gongneung-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, is a soybean dish specialty restaurant with a long tradition. It uses only domestic soybeans sourced from Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, and grinds them by hand with a millstone before serving them to customers, which gives an even nuttier and cleaner taste. In addition, because it grinds only the amount to be used each day, always serving fresh food is also the secret to its excellent taste. A variety of soybean dishes are prepared, including hand-made tofu, kongtang (soybean soup), cheonggukjang, sundubu, tofu stew, and kongguksu. In particular, in summer, the nutty and clean kongguksu is undoubtedly the most popular menu item. The clean, rustic and homey food that reminds one of the taste of hometown made by mother in the old days is impressive.
