Coming from the West Seaside, I used to eat a lot of Ganjang-gejang (soy sauce crab), but finding a decent Ganjang-gejang restaurant in Seoul proved to be a challenge.

The flavor of the West Sea can be experienced here at Jinmi Sikdang.

My hometown of Seosan City. Seosan Crabs are the finest you can get.

An image of Ganjang-gejang will welcome you at the entrance. My mouth was watering just gazing at the photos of the bright orange roes.

​One of the top Ganjang-Gejang restaurants in Seoul, Jinmi Sikdang was also continuously chosen as a Michelin Guide Seoul Restaurant since 2017.​​

There's nothing really special about the interior here that sets it apart from any other Ganjang-gejang restaurant.

 

Ganjang-gejang    45,000 won​

Ganjang-Gejang is served with gam-toe, salty oysters, and vegetables as side dishes.

I become angry when I visit a Ganjang-gejang restaurant and see crabs with insufficient flesh or roes, however, the crabs at this restaurant are of high quality.

It's true that Ganjang-Gejang is a bit pricy, but once you've tasted authentic Ganjang-Gejang, you'll understand why it's so expensive.

On the side, steamed eggs and cabbage soup are served.

​If you want to enjoy Ganjang-Gejang the right way, you should put some rice in this shell and mix it all up.

Even though it contains roes and intestines, it is not salty; it is even more delicious when you wrap the mixed rice in gam-toe.

For me, the saltiness of the soy sauce seasoning was perfect, and the meal was overall quite enjoyable.

​

Conclusion​​

This is the location in Seoul where you can get the authentic flavor of West Sea crab made with soy sauce.

Nowadays, West Sea crabs are pricey, so Ganjang-gejang at this price is not a waste of money.

Ganjang-gejang had a pleasant flavor that balanced the sweetness and saltiness. Specifically, the roes and flesh are abundant, so you shouldn't miss out on eating it with rice mixed in soy sauce crab.
