Clear black-pork soup in a Jeong-dong lane

Address

53 Sejong-daero 21-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04519, South Korea

This spot on Sejong-daero 21-gil in Jeong-dong serves a clear, mild pork soup made with black pig. Chives, rice and kkakdugi come alongside, and there is a smaller portion for children. It is an office district, so weekday lunch can mean a queue. If you are pairing it with Deoksugung and a Jeong-dong stroll, leave some slack for the meal.
