A hangover-soup house that has run for nearly 90 years in the Cheongjin-dong alley. The signature is a beef-bone broth loaded with tripe and ox blood. The broth is clear and savory without heavy spice. It opens from 6am to 10pm, so it works for a dawn recovery meal or daytime drinking food. The neighboring building’s garage gives one free hour.
