Jangsuchon: A Culinary Escape in Uiwang with Hearty Nurungji Baeksook
Hello, it's Dajeong!
Today, I came to Jangsuchon with my family.
Upon arriving at Jangsuchon, the first thing that catches your eye is
the expansive gravel parking lot.
Far removed from the chaotic parking wars of the city,
the spaciousness offers a sense of relaxation that soothes the mind even before the meal begins.
Especially given its location at the foot of Cheonggyesan Mountain, many customers arrive by car.
Jangsuchon seems to have thoughtfully considered this, as the parking lot is
remarkably spacious.
Being able to enter without worrying about parking, even on weekends, holidays, or during peak times for group gatherings, is a significant advantage.
Stepping out of the car and looking around,
lush green trees envelop the building, giving the feeling
of arriving at a small haven in nature.
These trees, showcasing different scenery each season,
harmonize with the restaurant's exterior,
providing the perfect backdrop for a moment of respite before or after your meal.
Looking up, the bright red 'Jangsuchon' sign immediately catches the eye.
The sign, boldly inscribed against the gray exterior of the building, is clear enough to be seen from afar
and exudes strength.
It felt as if the confidence of this long-standing establishment, which has been in this location since 2007, was being conveyed.
The exterior has a neat and modern feel, and the simple, uncluttered design inspires confidence.
It was one of those moments where you instinctively feel, 'I'll be able to eat clean food in a clean place.'
Potted plants, seemingly welcoming guests, were placed in front of the entrance,
and a non-slip mat was laid in front of the stairs, showing thoughtful consideration.
Thanks to this, I thought it would be safe for children or the elderly to visit together.
Stepping slowly from the car,
in the quietness created by the shadows cast by the green trees and the breeze,
the expectation that today's meal would be even more special began to grow.
Upon opening the door,
Jangsuchon's warm atmosphere welcomes guests.
The first impression is the stability that comes from the log-style tables and chairs.
The naturalness of the deep wood color and
the shiny, polished tables
show signs of long, careful refinement.
Thanks to this, I felt comfortable and stable just by sitting down.
The wooden ceiling adds to the overall cozy atmosphere,
and the soft, warm lighting gently illuminates the space.
The light wasn't too strong or too dim,
making it the perfect brightness to focus on the meal.
Also, the green plant decorations placed throughout the restaurant convey a freshness as if connected to nature.
The green plants along the walls go beyond simple interior design,
harmonizing perfectly with the location at the foot of Cheonggyesan Mountain and anticipating a healthy meal.
The large hall, which can accommodate up to 120 people at once, is more than adequate for group gatherings or family events.
Each table has a neatly attached number, making it easy to find your seat,
and the layout is spacious, so I don't think I would feel cramped even during busy times.
In particular, the ginseng wine display case lined up along one wall was impressive.
The beautiful colored ginseng wine sparkling in the bottles looked like decorations,
and completed the unique atmosphere of the baeksook restaurant
in a more luxurious way.
The sunlight coming in through the large windows makes the interior brighter and more pleasant,
and the trees and natural scenery visible through the windows were another pleasure to look at throughout the meal.
Jangsuchon's signature menu is, of course, Nurungji Baeksook (Chicken soup with scorched rice).
The baeksook served on a large plate is visually abundant.
The milky broth itself is a delicacy,
and the moment you take a spoonful, the deep, savory flavor of ginseng, jujube, chestnut, and garlic fills your mouth. It feels like your whole body is getting healthier.
The chicken and duck used are all 100% Korean, and because they are generously cooked with fresh ingredients, the condition of the meat is exceptional.
It's so tender and savory that it breaks apart easily with chopsticks,
so anyone, young or old, can enjoy it without feeling burdened.
And the highlight that can't be missed is the nurungji (scorched rice)!
It's no exaggeration to say that nurungji is the king of savory flavors.
The more you chew, the more savory flavor and subtle chewiness are added, pleasantly filling your mouth.
If you mix it with the broth and enjoy it like porridge, it fills you up,
and the savory flavor of the rice and the scent of ginseng combine to give you a satisfying experience like a health tonic.
The side dishes are also carefully prepared.
Crunchy cabbage kimchi goes perfectly with the savory baeksook,
and the sour dongchimi broth eliminates the greasiness and cleanses the palate.
If you dip the meat in the sauce that comes with it, the flavor is enhanced,
and you won't be able to put down your spoon and chopsticks.
Above all, thanks to the generous portions, it's enough for a family of four to enjoy to the fullest. It's a health food and it's filling,
so it's perfect for family gatherings or a filial piety table for parents.
The sincerity and nutrition contained in a bowl of baeksook,
and even the warm heart—Jangsuchon's Nurungji Baeksook is not just a meal,
but a special meal that gives you health and satisfaction at the same time.
Once the baeksook is served abundantly,
there's a menu item that you must have with it.
That's Tray Makguksu (Buckwheat noodles).
The makguksu, served abundantly like a mountain on a large plate, stimulates your appetite from the moment you see it.
Fresh vegetables are generously placed on top of the well-boiled buckwheat noodles,
and the crunchy cabbage, red cabbage, cucumber, and onion are thinly sliced, making it look like a colorful and healthy dish.
The red and thick sauce has a sweet and sour taste with a hint of spiciness,
and when the noodles and vegetables come together, the taste bursts refreshingly in your mouth.
When you lift the noodles with chopsticks, the noodles glistening with the spicy sauce stretch out long,
and the balance of the sauce that touches the tip of your tongue was really excellent along with the chewy texture.
Above all, the savory taste of the baeksook and the refreshing taste of this tray makguksu are contrasting and perfectly harmonized with each other,
If you eat a bite of baeksook and then add makguksu
It felt like my appetite was coming back to life.
That's why there are so many
guests who order baeksook and makguksu together.
The portion is also generous, making it great for sharing with several people,
Meat, vegetables, and noodles are all mixed together in one meal
It was a menu that made it more diverse and plentiful.
Jangsuchon is located near Cheonggyesan Mountain and Baegun Lake.
That's why you can stop by after hiking or taking a walk.
It's a great place to have a nutritious meal.
If you add makguksu to a hearty table of baeksook
Your fatigue will be relieved and it will be a time that the whole family can be satisfied with.
