Nakgopsae
in Korea.

Daeseong Sikdang

Daeseong Sikdang is a Korean restaurant in Jongno, near the Jongno 3-ga and Sewoon Shopping Center area. Local business information describes it as a long-running neighborhood restaurant that has served nakgopsae since 1984. The restaurant specializes in a Korean hot pot combining octopus, beef intestines, and shrimp, a dish commonly known as nakgopsae. The signature nakgopsae is cooked in a broth with vegetables and seasoning, bringing together the seafood flavor of octopus and shrimp with the rich taste of beef intestines. The restaurant offers individual portions and sharing sets for different group sizes. Additional ingredients such as noodles or beef brisket can be ordered depending on the available menu, making the meal more substantial. The restaurant has a casual, old-school atmosphere rather than a formal dining setting. Its menu and layout are suited to friends, coworkers, and groups sharing a bubbling hot pot over lunch or dinner. The style of nakgopsae here is described by visitors as brothier than the more reduced, dry-style versions they may know, so diners can simmer it at the table and adjust the consistency as they eat.
