Jangyu kalguksu with plump clams and free ice water: Seosan Dongjuk
Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu is a Korean restaurant specialising in dongjuk (surf clam) kalguksu, knife-cut noodle soup, on Deokjeong-ro 201beon-gil in Jangyu, Gimhae, Gyeongnam. On a day with no appetite, the writer and her husband shared two bowls at Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu and found the clam meat surprisingly plump and the broth cool and clean rather than sharp. A cooler of free ice water for passing walkers outside the door made Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu memorable for its kindness as much as its food.
