Hamcho Ganjang Gejang 함초 간장게장, Seoul – Soy Marinated Raw Crab in Myeongdong

Hamcho Ganjang Gejang 함초 간장게장 is a crab restaurant in Myeongdong that specialises in raw crabs marinated in soy sauce.

It is situated underground, beside a massage parlour/sauna centre.

The restaurant is spacious.

Signatures include Ganjang Gejang (from KRW 40000 for one crab set), Abalone Sashimi KR 90000. Shrimp Soy Sauce Marinade KRW 38000 and Raw Meat with Traditional Seasonings KRW 30000.

The ganjang gejang is served with seven banchan and a bowl of rice.

The crab is fresh and meaty, complemented by the sweet roe.

The seaweed, unfortunately, is the only non-refillable banchan here which is surprising.

Portion and taste are alright. However, having tried Odarijip which is situated nearby, I would prefer Odarijip for its quality and quantity.
