Gyegok Garden Kkotgejang is a restaurant sought after by food enthusiasts nationwide, renowned as the first establishment in the country to patent gejang (marinated crab) cuisine. Originally selling dwaeji galbi (grilled pork galbi), the restaurant's main dish shifted to crab after its exceptional kkotge jang (soy sauce marinated crab) side dish garnered increasing attention from customers seeking gejang delicacies. The secret to its flavor lies in the authentic soy sauce, aged with 16 medicinal herbs, and the plump meat of female crabs. Customers can enjoy gejang with minimal fishy or salty taste, instead relishing in the rich and savory flavor of the crab.
