Sokcho restaurant for a quiet 11 a.m. makguksu lunch: Topgol
Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch is a makguksu restaurant opposite Sokcho Beach in Sokcho, Gangwon. After checking out of the hotel at 11, we ordered perilla oil buckwheat makguksu, buckwheat makguksu, and solo suyuk for 40,000 won. Verdict: arrive before noon for a peaceful, nutty hangover-clearing lunch.
