Cheongchun Bulppyeojjim Gamjatang Incheon Nonhyeon Branch is a braised pork bone and gamjatang (pork bone stew) restaurant near Nonhyeon Station in Namdong-gu, Incheon. For dinner, the writer skipped the spicy options and ordered a small Gungjung Ppyeojjim, a sweet soy-based braise of pork bones, and found the meat so tender it fell off the bone at a touch of the chopsticks, with no gamy smell. Cheongchun Bulppyeojjim Gamjatang is a safe dinner pick near Nonhyeon Station when someone in your group can't handle spicy food.
