Perilla-thick crab stew scented with bangah leaf

Address

Seomjin-gang-daero, Hadong-eup

A Hadong-designated specialist for chamge garijangguk, a river crab stew. Ground perilla thickens the broth and bangah (Korean mint) leaves give it a distinctive scent. The freshwater crab is a seasonal visitor from the autumn river. The aroma is unfamiliar at first but settles by the second spoonful.
