Chodang-dong · Sundubu Village / Soft tofu

Chodang Tobagi Halmeoni Sundubu

초당토박이할머니순두부

One of the long-running tofu houses in Chodang-dong, the seaside neighborhood where tofu is set with seawater instead of standard coagulants, giving it a delicate, custard-like texture. It's a quiet, homestyle counterpoint to Gangneung's beach and coffee-street crowds.
