Bongsan Gejang Baekban Street (봉산게장백반거리)
Bongsan Gejang Baekban Street is a curated attraction in Korea — full details, hours, and access info on the official Korea Tourism page.
Why go
Bongsan Gejang Baekban Street is a short cluster of restaurants in central Korea specializing in gejang baekban — the soy-sauce-marinated raw crab dish served as the centerpiece of a full Korean home-style meal that includes rice, multiple banchan side dishes, and a soup. The street's roots are tied to the local availability of fresh blue crab from nearby coastal waters, with each restaurant pickling its own crab in a soy-sauce-and-aromatic brine over several days. The dish is best eaten by mixing the rice with the crab roe and the marinated soy sauce in the shell — a Korean comfort-food experience that locals consider one of the best uses of fresh crab. Best paired with broader regional itineraries that already include coastal seafood for travelers comfortable with raw-marinated dishes.
