대전광역시 중구 대종로460번길 59

The signature dish here is ojingeo jjigae (squid stew) made by adding whole radish and water to spicy stir-fried squid and simmering it into a hearty stew. However, most visitors who visit Sonamujip add noodles to their ojingeo jjigae, turning it into what’s known as ojingeo kalguksu (noodle soup with squid). Ojingeo jjigae is a great example of how people in Daejeon enjoy adding their own twist on kalguksu.
