Snow crab guts cream pasta in a retro rice mill café: Anin Jeongmiso

Monday's back again. Isn't it wild how fast the weekend flies by haha 😂😂 Today I was hunting for good pasta in Gimhae's Bongni-dan-gil and stumbled on a place with both great vibes for a date and genuinely good pasta, so I wanted to share it!

A retro space built inside an old rice mill

I arrived at Anin Jeongmiso & Gaenari Jutaek, famous for its pasta along Gimhae's Bongni-dan-gil. Walking down the street, the building catches your eye right away. It has a distinctly vintage feel compared to your typical restaurant — the old rice mill building was kept intact, with a courtyard splitting the main hall and the annex. That layout alone made a strong impression 🙌

The moment I stepped through the door, a coziness completely different from the exterior hit me.

Wood-toned furniture paired with soft lighting really amps up the vintage mood. Traces of the old rice mill are still visible too, so if you love this kind of retro, vintage atmosphere, I'd recommend this place without hesitation.

Seating is spaced out generously in each area, so meals never feel cramped. The overall warm, relaxed atmosphere kept me feeling calm the whole time I was eating.

What we ordered 🍴

Snow crab guts cream pasta, truffle mushroom shrimp, and half-and-half pizza — that's what we ordered at Anin Jeongmiso & Gaenari Jutaek, the pasta spot everyone talks about on Gimhae's Bongni-dan-gil. Snow crab guts cream pasta isn't a common menu item, so I was extra curious.

Warm bread to start

The bread came out warm, and I dipped it into the balsamic sauce and olive oil.

The clean, soft bread paired beautifully with the tangy balsamic and the nutty olive oil, waking up my palate right away :) That starter bread got my appetite going in a big way 🙌

Half-and-half pizza 🍕 Combination + bacon potato

The half-and-half pizza lets you pick two flavors, and we went with combination and bacon potato 🧡

Combination is basically the foundation of pizza, isn't it? I love it because you get to taste a bunch of toppings at once :) This one blended pepperoni, ground meat, olives, bell pepper, and corn nicely together, with just the right amount of saltiness — pretty much impossible to dislike. And bacon potato — how could that combo ever go wrong?

The bacon was salty, and paired with the fluffy potato texture and flavor, it was even better.

The mayo sauce drizzled on top was a total cheat code 🙌 Its distinct nuttiness really brought out the charm of the bacon potato pizza!

Snow crab guts cream pasta 🦀 Rich and creamy, no fishy taste

This was the dish I had the highest expectations for :) The plating is basically art ✨️ There wasn't any of that fishy taste crab guts can sometimes have, so it was easy to eat without any hesitation.

The noodles were on the wider side, so the crab guts sauce soaked in really well, and there were bits of flying fish roe scattered throughout that added a fun popping texture.

The crab guts sauce was thick and creamy, so the savory seafood flavor came through deep and rich 👍👍

There was also that distinct umami you get from crab, which kept pulling my fork back in. If you're a fan of crab, you have to try this.

Truffle mushroom shrimp 🍄🍤

The moment I speared a piece of the truffle mushroom shrimp with my fork, a subtle truffle aroma drifted up.

On top of the nutty truffle flavor, the chewy mushroom texture paired surprisingly well with the springy shrimp. The inside stays pretty hot, so it's easier to cut it in half first before eating.

To sum up

I'd recommend it for the upscale side dishes too 🙌 Definitely recommend Anin Jeongmiso & Gaenari Jutaek in Gimhae ❤️
