Our Visit
Today we will introduce a place located in Sinsa, Seoul called Original Masan Kotulne. I found it really convenient to get there as it is located just a 3-minute walk from Sinsa Station. The interior is spacious and there is a separate space with partitions, so it seems like a good place to have a private meal when coming as a group.
The walls are covered with records of the shows it appeared on. Seeing that they have been featured on many famous food-related TV shows in Korea, I'm really looking forward to the taste!
Not only that, but the Original Masan Kotulne also sells a variety of wines. Drinking wine with soy sauce marinated crab will be a very unique and special experience.
Original Masan Kotulne also has various seafood dishes. They sell a variety of crab dishes, so I could feel that it is a seafood specialty restaurant.
When eating soy sauce marinated crab, hygiene gloves are absolutely necessary. They are separately provided on the table so that you can use as much as you want without having to ask the staff.
Two servings of ganjang gejang have arrived. Knowing that all the side dishes are homemade adds an extra sense of care. Every single side dish was delicious!
It's a sight of ganjang gejang filled with succulent crab meat and roe. Doesn't it look incredibly appetizing?
There are so many different ways to eat Ganjang Gejang. You can squeeze the flesh like in the picture, put it on rice, add a little more soy sauce, and mix it to eat.
You can also place the crab meat on the rice along with the side dishes and enjoy them together. The nutty flavor of the seaweed adds an extra layer of richness, making it even more flavorful!
Or simply topping the rice like this and eating it is absolutely delicious. Personally, I really enjoy the roe, so I piled it on generously while eating.
This is the additional order of "jumeokbap" (rice ball). They come in bite-sized portions, coated with sesame and seaweed flakes on the outside, making them a perfect match to enjoy with the ganjang gejang.
I tried mixing the contents from the crab shells with the rice ball in the soy sauce. Adding a touch of sesame oil made it incredibly flavorful and delicious!
Enjoying the crab meat spread on the rice ball like this is also wonderful. One of the major advantages of ganjang gejang is that you can enjoy it in various kinds of ways.
This is the additional order of "geal bibimbap" (crab roe mixed rice). You can think of it as ganjang gejang with crab roe spread, in a bibimbap style.
When you mix the rice in and eat it quickly, you can enjoy the flavors of ganjang gejang in a simpler way. The raw egg yolk adds a nutty taste that enhances the flavor.
Original Masan Kotulne is a ganjang gejang restaurant that is particularly popular among Japanese visitors. The ganjang gejang itself is remarkably delicious, and the accompanying side dishes are also satisfying. Furthermore, if you receive a coupon from Creatrip, they offer complimentary canned drinks. If you have plans to travel around Sinsa or Gangnam, we highly recommend this place!
