The Ochan Hoedong course arrived in order: a rosemary fermented vinegar drink with gim-bugak (crispy fried seaweed), peanut and chestnut porridge, fermented-vinegar acorn jelly with mustard greens, Yangpyeong mushroom japchae, seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi (grilled beef patty), a 10-year-aged doenjang stew with lotus leaf rice, and strawberry vinegar tea to close. Clean, gentle flavors that make Ochan Hoedong a safe choice for a meal with parents, a family gathering, or a meeting between in-laws. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 661 Gangnam-ro, Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do - **Course ordered**: Ochan Hoedong course - **Parking**: Private parking spaces in front of the building - **Seating**: Wood-tone tables, window seats, private room available - **Course lineup**: Rosemary fermented vinegar drink and gim-bugak, peanut and chestnut porridge, salad with fermented vinegar dressing, fermented-vinegar acorn jelly with mustard greens, Yangpyeong mushroom japchae, seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi, 10-year-aged doenjang stew with lotus leaf rice and side dishes, strawberry vinegar tea with sweets - **Products sold**: House-made seed soy sauce and fermented vinegars sold from the in-store fridge *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Table setting of the Ochan Hoedong hanjeongsik course in Yangpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-01-4dygn-1200.webp) I wanted a slightly special meal in Yangpyeong, so this time I went to Ochan Hoedong (오찬회동) :) ![Ochan Hoedong course dish made with fermented vinegar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-02-jl2h5-900.webp) I'd heard the food here is a bit different from the usual hanjeongsik, using fermented vinegar and aged sauces, so I was curious. The vibe turned out nicer than expected and the food was really neat and tidy, so let me walk you through it slowly! ## Where is Ochan Hoedong, and is there parking? ![Exterior of Ochan Hoedong in Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-03-1013q-900.webp) Ochan Hoedong is located in the Gangsang-myeon area of Yangpyeong. ![Private parking and entrance in front of the Ochan Hoedong building](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-04-gzd11-900.webp) There's a private parking space right in front of the building, so it was convenient to visit by car. The exterior is clean, and the entrance is decorated with plants, giving it a surprisingly nice atmosphere haha ![Plant-decorated entrance area of Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-05-kignc-m-900.webp) Above all, the inside is quiet and calm, so I thought it'd be good for a family meal or an important occasion. ## Inside Ochan Hoedong: window seats and the private room ![Wood-tone tables inside Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-06-sezhl-900.webp) ![Window seating at Ochan Hoedong with a view outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-07-1hf4j-900.webp) Stepping inside, everything felt warm! The wood-tone tables matched the clean interior nicely, and the window side had a view of the surrounding scenery, so it was a relaxed spot to spend time over a meal. On one side there were earthenware jars and vinegar-related products on display, which gave off a real 'this place takes fermentation seriously' feeling. There's also a private space for dining, which looked good for family gatherings, meals with parents, or even a meeting-the-in-laws occasion :) ## The Ochan Hoedong course, dish by dish ![Table set for the Ochan Hoedong course meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-08-16q1z-900.webp) We tried the Ochan Hoedong course. ![Rosemary fermented vinegar drink and gim-bugak](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-09-zbe8u-900.webp) ### Rosemary fermented vinegar drink and gim-bugak First to arrive was the rosemary fermented vinegar drink and gim-bugak (crispy fried seaweed chips). It's better to sip the fermented vinegar drink slowly rather than gulp it down. A subtle tang came through and it felt like it cleared out my mouth. ![A plate of crispy gim-bugak](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-10-1dlhc-900.webp) The gim-bugak was crispy, and it went surprisingly well with the vinegar drink haha ### Peanut and chestnut porridge, then salad with fermented vinegar dressing Next came the peanut chestnut porridge! It was nutty yet soft, and felt like it gently warmed my stomach before the meal started. Not heavy at all, quite plain — I personally like when a course opens with something like this. ![Peanut chestnut porridge served early in the course](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-11-p6umr-900.webp) A salad came alongside it, and it wasn't just an ordinary salad. It had a house-made fermented vinegar dressing, giving it a tangy, clean flavor. The vegetables were crisp and pretty to look at too — good for photos haha ![Salad with fermented vinegar dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-12-1cx2f-900.webp) ### Fermented-vinegar acorn jelly with mustard greens And then a slightly unusual dish! The fermented-vinegar acorn jelly mustard salad. Unlike regular acorn jelly, this one came in a dried form, so the texture was surprising. The sharp bite of the mustard salad combined with the tang of the fermented vinegar really woke up my appetite. ![Plate of fermented-vinegar acorn jelly mustard salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-13-1u7b4-900.webp) ![Mustard salad topped with dried acorn jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-14-1w0sm-900.webp) ### Yangpyeong mushroom japchae Then came the japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), made with Yangpyeong mushrooms. The glass noodles were cut into manageable lengths, easy to eat, and the mushroom texture really came through. It felt a bit different from the japchae I usually eat, and I enjoyed this one too :) ![Japchae made with Yangpyeong mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-15-rj20l-900.webp) ### The main dish: seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi The main dish, seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi (Korean beef patty)! The plating was gorgeous, so I ended up taking way too many photos lol ![Plated seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-16-1fd7s-m-900.webp) One bite in, I could taste the meat's own juiciness along with the deep, subtle flavor of the seed soy sauce. Rather than being sharply salty, the seed soy sauce flavor rose gently and it was genuinely delicious haha ### 10-year-aged doenjang stew with lotus leaf rice Then came doenjang (soybean paste) stew, lotus leaf rice, and side dishes — a Korean meal wouldn't feel complete without these! ![Stone pot of doenjang stew made with 10-year-aged soybean paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-17-tl9zm-900.webp) They use doenjang aged for 10 years here, and it came out bubbling in a stone pot with a rich, savory aroma rising right away. ![Lotus leaf rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-18-135ha-900.webp) The broth was rich with the deep flavor unique to doenjang, and it paired perfectly with the lotus leaf rice. The rice, wrapped and steamed in a lotus leaf, had a subtle lotus fragrance too. Eating it with the doenjang stew really made it feel like a proper hanjeongsik meal haha ![Full spread of the hanjeongsik course](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-19-cmin2-900.webp) ### Dessert: strawberry vinegar tea and Korean sweets We finished off with strawberry vinegar tea and gwajil (dried fruit snack) for dessert! The sweet-and-tangy flavor cleared my palate nicely after the course. From start to finish, the food overall leaned into the flavor of the ingredients and fermented products rather than anything sharp or strong, which made for a leisurely meal. ![Strawberry vinegar tea and gwajil served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-20-o9e7j-900.webp) ![Dessert table setting at Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-21-1l46l-900.webp) ![Table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-22-h0wrv-900.webp) ## Seed soy sauce and fermented vinegar you can buy at Ochan Hoedong Before leaving after the meal, I browsed the products in the store's fridge. They sell house-made seed soy sauce and fermented vinegar, among other things. There's quite a variety, so if you're into fermented foods it's fun to look around, and they'd make good gifts too :) ![Seed soy sauce and fermented vinegar products sold in-store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-23-17uo7-900.webp) ## Is Ochan Hoedong right for a family gathering or meeting the in-laws? If you're looking for a hanjeongsik restaurant in Yangpyeong, Ochan Hoedong is worth a visit at least once. Rather than simply serving lots of side dishes like a typical hanjeongsik, it uses fermented vinegar and aged sauces to give each course a slightly different flavor. ![Quiet, tidy interior view of Ochan Hoedong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course-24-m9dl2-m-900.webp) Above all, the calm and tidy atmosphere makes it a good fit for occasions like: - A meal with parents - A family gathering - Meeting the in-laws - A quiet date - A meal for a special day If you're out on a Yangpyeong drive and want a proper, unhurried meal, keep Ochan Hoedong in mind :) ## Where it is - Ochan Hoedong (오찬회동) - 661 Gangnam-ro, Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 양평군 강상면 강남로 661 1층 오찬회동 - 37.4991074, 127.4550497 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EC%B0%AC%ED%9A%8C%EB%8F%99/@37.4991074,127.4550497,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chuncheon-lake-kettle/yangpyeong-ochanhoedong-vinegar-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
