Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
In Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, the Jjukkumi Alley is famous. Among them, the Yongdu-dong Jjukkumi Main Branch is characterized by serving spicy jjukkumi (small octopus) along with a thick curry sauce containing tofu that reduces the spiciness. Steamed egg and fried rice made by stir-frying leftover seasoning are also popular. Due to its fame, it has been introduced on numerous broadcast programs. It is located 200m from Exit 6 of Jegi-dong Station on Subway Line 1, inside Yongdu-dong Jjukkumi Alley. There is no separate parking lot, and only about 2 cars can park next to the store, but it is narrow, so using public transportation is recommended.
