Weekday lunch mixed naengmyeon without vinegar: Song Giwon, Jinju
Song Giwon Jinju Naengmyeon Main Branch is a naengmyeon restaurant on Modeok-ro in Jinju, Gyeongnam, introduced as the first Baeknyeon Gage (century-old store) for Jinju naengmyeon. On a weekday lunch, the writer ordered the Song Giwon 1997 mixed naengmyeon and ujeon (Korean beef yukjeon) and ate the noodles without vinegar or mustard because the seasoning was already well balanced from the first bite. Alternating between naengmyeon and yukjeon kept things from getting monotonous, so the writer plans to order yukjeon again next time.
