Ggupdang is a pork neck specialist directly in front of Sinsa Station. The meat is aged about fifteen days and cooked quickly on a custom aluminium plate over binchotan charcoal. A separate rice dish, developed with a Japanese chef, is meant to be eaten with the pork.
Menu and ordering
Start with the aged pork neck and order the house rice alongside it. Wrapping a piece of pork and a little wasabi in the rice is how regulars eat here.
For allergies or dietary restrictions, ask the restaurant about ingredients and preparation before ordering.
