About
Information: Korea Tourism Organization (TourAPI)Imun Seolnongtang has been serving its hearty seolleongtang for over a hundred years since it first opened in 1907. Even its name has a long history: the word imun comes from Imun-gol, the now-obsolete name of the restaurant's location, and seolnongtang, an old variation of the word seolleongtang. The soup served at this restaurant is characterized by delicate and rich savory flavors and reputed to stay consistent since the restaurant's establishment during the Japanese colonial period.
