Mori Guksu is a special seafood noodle dish from Guryongpo, a coastal town in Korea, known for its unique blend of Korean and local flavors. This dish combines influences from meat broth and seafood stew, creating a spicy and flavorful noodle soup popular among seafarers. It has gained popularity since the 2000s, especially alongside Guryongpo's famous Japanese-style houses. The area's signature noodles are enhanced by the cool sea breeze, known as 'Haepung Guksu,' adding a distinct flavor akin to the region's dried seafood specialties like 'Gulbi.' However, there's a trend where traditional ingredients like 'Miwookcho' (a type of fish associated with the dish) are becoming scarce, leading to variations like adding squid and crab. Mori Guksu is deeply rooted in local culture, and its fame continues to attract both tourists and locals alike, creating a vibrant noodle culture within the town.
