Sundubu restaurant in Sokcho with a full banchan lunch: Daecheongmaru
Daecheongmaru is a dried pollack and tofu restaurant in Haksapyeong Sundubu Village in Sokcho, Gangwon. On a rainy Thursday lunch, an order of chodang sundubu (Chodang-style soft tofu stew) and spicy sundubu arrived in bowls as wide as naengmyeon bowls, along with banchan (side dishes) that felt like a Korean buffet — namul (seasoned greens), seaweed salad and braised kodari (half-dried pollack). Generous portions and side dishes that are not over-salted make Daecheongmaru an easy, filling lunch stop in Sokcho.
