# Geumjeong Busan Korean restaurant with a 12,000 won clam set: Darijip - By Chaeon (https://superchart.com/en/@busan-queue-table/) - Written Sep 19, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Geumjeong, Busan - Sponsored: This post was written after a sponsored visit to the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@busan-queue-table/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@busan-queue-table/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/index.md) ## In short Darijip Jaecheopguk is a Korean restaurant in Geumsa-dong, Geumjeong, Busan, that stood in one spot for 30 years before relaunching as a jaecheopguk (freshwater clam soup) specialist. The 12,000 won jaecheop set meal per person arrived as a full table with sungnyung (scorched-rice tea), three kinds of namul, thick doenjang paste and braised mackerel, and the bibimbap was moistened with a splash of the clam soup and topped with flakes of the mackerel. Rather than the clam soup on its own, the set meal at Darijip Jaecheopguk is the better way to enjoy this home-style spread of bibimbap and braised mackerel together. ## Good to know - **Jaecheop set meal (clam soup set)**: 12,000 won - **Jaecheop jinguk (rich clam soup)**: 16,000 won - **Jaecheop deopbap (clam rice bowl)**: 17,000 won - **Jaecheop muchim (seasoned clams)**: Small 15,000 won / Medium 25,000 won - **Jaecheop buchujeon (clam and chive pancake)**: 12,000 won - **Clam soup, takeout**: 10,000 won - **Hours**: 10:00–20:00 - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Address**: 1 Gongdandong-ro, Geumjeong-gu, Busan (lot address: Geumsa-dong 77-4) - **Public transit**: About 219m from Geumsa Station Exit 3 - **Parking**: Parking voucher provided for the public lot across the street - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, reservations, takeout, high chairs, separate men's and women's restrooms - **Price reference**: ₩12,000 ≈ $8.7 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Main image of Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-01-5rpwb-1200.webp) ## Why Darijip Jaecheopguk is worth a visit - A clean, refreshing clam soup with a generous amount of clams - A meal that starts with a savory, comforting bowl of sungnyung (scorched-rice tea) - A hearty spread that includes braised mackerel and various namul (seasoned vegetables) - Bibimbap you mix yourself with gochujang and doenjang paste to taste - A little clam soup stirred in makes for a moist, delicious twist on bibimbap - An amazing combo — mackerel flakes spooned over the bibimbap - Various side dishes including cabbage-and-kelp wraps and mul kimchi (water kimchi) - A filling clam soup set for just ₩12,000 per person - Plenty of tables and a spacious interior, good for family meals or group gatherings - Convenient access near Geumsa Station with public parking available ## A Geumjeong Korean restaurant: the generous clam set meal and braised mackerel ![Introduction image of Darijip Jaecheopguk in Geumsa-dong, Geumjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-02-1uh4h-900.webp) ![Introduction image of the clam soup set at Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-03-1236q-900.webp) ### The filling clam set meal Busan locals come back for On a day when I wanted a clean bowl of clam soup and a full Korean meal, I headed to Darijip Jaecheopguk in Geumsa-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan. Darijip Jaecheopguk had run in the same spot for 30 years before relaunching as a dedicated clam soup restaurant. The warmth of a place that's stayed put for decades really came through, and it turned out to be a Korean restaurant in Geumjeong serving properly filling home-style food. ![Exterior and entrance of Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-04-3kaaw-900.webp) ![Full view of Darijip Jaecheopguk in Geumsa-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-05-17vc7-900.webp) ![Tables inside Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-06-lv3ym-900.webp) ![Spacious dining hall at Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-07-1s8m4-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-08-7a8cv-900.webp) ![Seating and interior of Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-09-1f4pk-900.webp) ![Menu board at Darijip Jaecheopguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-10-12y5s-900.webp) ## Darijip Jaecheopguk menu and prices Darijip Jaecheopguk offers a variety of menu items built around clam soup. - Jaecheopjeongsik (clam soup set) ₩12,000 - Jaecheop jinguk (rich clam soup) ₩16,000 - Jaecheop deopbap (clam rice bowl) ₩17,000 - Jaecheop muchim (seasoned clams) Small ₩15,000 / Medium ₩25,000 - Jaecheop buchujeon (clam and chive pancake) ₩12,000 - Clam soup takeout ₩10,000 With dishes like seasoned clams and clam-chive pancake also on the menu, this seems like a good spot for a light drink alongside dinner.

The set arrived with the main clam soup, rice and bibimbap ingredients, several kinds of namul, braised mackerel, seasoned tofu, kimchi, mul kimchi, cabbage-and-kelp wraps, seasoning sauce, and doenjang paste — quite the spread. Seeing the whole table laid out, the portions were much more generous than I'd expected. This wasn't just a simple bowl of clam soup — with all the side dishes and bibimbap included, it was a properly filling Korean meal in Geumjeong. ![Warm sungnyung served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-18-1uy9y-900.webp) ### Sungnyung (scorched-rice tea): nutty and comforting Before the food arrived, we were served warm sungnyung (scorched-rice tea). The gently savory flavor put me in a good mood even before the meal properly started. It went down easy and felt like the calm lead-up to a carefully prepared home-style meal. ### Neat, generous side dishes at Darijip Jaecheopguk The clam soup set came with a variety of side dishes: three kinds of namul, kimchi, seasoned tofu, mul kimchi, and cabbage-and-kelp wraps. The namul worked well mixed into the bibimbap, and the kelp and cabbage were nice and clean with a dip in the seasoning sauce. The crisp, refreshing mul kimchi cleared the palate nicely between bites. Beyond the clam soup itself, being able to try the braised mackerel, namul, and doenjang paste made the whole meal more satisfying. Rather than feeling flashy, the table felt like a careful, hearty home-cooked spread. ### Jaecheopguk packed with freshwater clams The main clam soup arrived with a generous pile of chopped chives on top of a clear broth. Tasting the broth, it was clean and refreshing, and best of all, there were far more clams in it than I expected. Every spoonful of broth brought up a clam along with it, letting me really enjoy an authentic clam soup flavor. The fragrance of the chives paired well with the clams' savory depth, and the flavor was mild yet comforting, making it easy to keep going back for more. If you're looking for a warm, filling meal after visiting Haeundae Arboretum, this could be a good spot near Haeundae Arboretum too. ![Darijip Jaecheopguk's clam soup topped with chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-19-dn4me-900.webp) ![Clear clam soup packed with clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-20-1litb-900.webp) ![Spoonful of clam soup broth and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-21-14y1z-900.webp) ![Table set with clam soup and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-22-1thoc-900.webp) ## Bibimbap mixed with namul and thick doenjang paste The clam soup set comes with a generous bowl of rice topped with a fried egg, bean sprouts, radish salad, and seaweed, all served in a large bowl. Gochujang is also set out separately at the table, so you can mix your bibimbap to taste. We added rice to the large bowl along with all the namul that came with it, plus doenjang paste and gochujang. We also stirred in a little of the clam soup to make it moist. With the savory doenjang paste, various namul, and gochujang all mixed together, the flavor was rich and full, and the added clam soup kept it moist instead of dry. Mixing all these ingredients into one bowl made for a really hearty, delicious meal. Being able to mix the neat side dishes and namul to my own taste made this feel like the kind of home-style meal locals in Busan would casually drop in for. ![Bibimbap mixed with namul and doenjang paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-23-114zf-900.webp) ## Braised mackerel: a perfect match with the bibimbap The braised mackerel that came with the clam soup set was really delicious too. Big chunks of mackerel and radish were soaked through with red seasoning, and the mackerel flesh was easy to pick apart and eat with rice. The radish, well-infused with the sauce, was soft and tasty — a total rice thief. In particular, spooning a bit of the mackerel flesh onto the bibimbap made with namul and doenjang paste was an amazing combination. The savory, moist bibimbap combined with the rich flavor of the braised mackerel to bring out even more depth. If you visit Darijip Jaecheopguk, I'd recommend ordering the full clam soup set rather than just the soup alone, so you can enjoy the namul bibimbap and braised mackerel together. ## From family meals to a casual drink in Geumsa-dong Darijip Jaecheopguk has a spacious interior with plenty of tables, making it a solid choice for family meals as well as group gatherings. You can eat well with the clam soup set, and pairing seasoned clams or clam-chive pancake with a drink also works well, making it a good pick for anyone looking for an old-school bar in Geumjeong. The warm, welcoming atmosphere typical of Busan's old-school restaurants and the comfort of a local spot both came through. ## Final verdict on Darijip Jaecheopguk Darijip Jaecheopguk is a place where you can enjoy refreshing clam soup generously packed with clams, along with various namul, doenjang paste, and braised mackerel all in one meal. From the savory sungnyung before the meal, everything was delicious, and there was fun in mixing all the ingredients into a big bowl yourself. In particular, the combination of bibimbap made moist with a bit of clam soup, topped with braised mackerel flesh, was memorable enough to crave again. ![Braised mackerel and radish soaked in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal/darijip-jaecheopguk-geumjeonggu-set-meal-24-d2zbe-900.webp) The spacious interior, proximity to Geumsa Station, and available parking all made for good accessibility.
