Tofu restaurant near Sokcho IC with abalone jjamppong sundubu: Jinsol

Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu is a sundubu (soft tofu stew) restaurant in the Haksapyeong tofu village near Sokcho IC in Gangwon, and it says it uses certified 100% domestic soybeans from Yeoncheon. For lunch after a long drive, the writer ordered the spicy seafood jjamppong sundubu, which came with a whole abalone plus crab and shrimp, and a wild greens bibimbap mixed and tasted first without any sauce. With a large parking lot, group seating and doors open from 07:30, Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu is an easy pick for a family or group meal.

Sokcho café with okara cream latte, milk cake and scone: Cafe Neorae

Cafe Neorae is a large bakery café in Haksapyeong, Sokcho, with views of Seoraksan and Ulsanbawi Rock. Across the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors and the 4th-floor rooftop, the signature Neorae Latte came with Neorae cream made from okara (soybean pulp) — soft and nutty, a good match for the strong latte served alongside the milk cake and scone. If you want a mountain view rather than the usual sea view in Sokcho, Cafe Neorae is the answer.
