- The most common restaurants in Hapjeong-dong are ramen, tonkatsu, and sushi restaurants, all of which are Japanese.
- I had the Shou Ramen at "Gokuno-ya," a ramen restaurant in Hapjeong-dong, and it was not too salty and was delicious.
- My companion ordered the Mazesoba, which he said was too bland. I think it's important to aim for the 'average value' that Baek Jong-won mentioned.
What are the top 3 restaurants in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Korea? I don't know the exact ranking, but I do know that they are roughly as follows.
- Ramen shops
- Pork cutlet
- Sushi restaurants
Interestingly, they're all Japanese food. No need to go to Japan. There are also countless grilled meat restaurants and cafes, but I didn't include them because they're not the main menu for office workers' lunches. The fact that I mentioned the most common restaurants in Hapjeong-dong means that you can probably guess that today's menu is one of the above three, right?!

Do you know the Korean idol group 'ZE:A'? It's a group with so many members.... I don't remember all of them, but the members who are currently active as actors areIm Si-wanand Park Hyung-sik, Kim Dong-jun. There's alsoHwang Kwang-heewho is active as an entertainer.
Anyway, I remember that 'ZE:A's agency was in that building, but I'm not sure if it's still there. I have a memory of visiting there for work in the past, and it seems to be the same building.

Shou Ramen
I had the Shou Ramen. It's not too salty and it's edible. If you find it bland, you can add some kelp vinegar or eat it with the pickled ginger that comes with it.
Mazesoba
My companion ordered the Mazesoba, and they said it was bland. They never eat things like 'pickled ginger' or 'kimchi.' I like it when it's bland, but..... everyone's taste buds are different, so it's really hard to run a restaurant. However, in the MBC program "Son Seok-hee's Questions," Baek Jong-won appeared and talked about this. He said, "You have to find the average value that people are looking for." Ultimately, if there are more people who want something moderately flavored than something bland, you should either season it to a certain extent or prepare and provide condiments that allow people to adjust the seasoning.
Check out the YouTube video below for the average value (rhombus theory) I mentioned earlier.
