Located in the growing Sosabeol area is a restaurant with an amazing traditional Korean dish that is a must try. Agujjim is the main dish to try while here but there is more to the experience than eating. The appetizers are the only thing close to mild flavor you will have during your agujjim experience. The kind owner brings out pickled raddish, tofu and a corn mixture. The raddish are nice and crisp and the tofu has a slightly spicy sauce on top. 
Appetizers: Radish, tofu and corn

| Agujjim |
After the kimchi pancake gets your taste buds ready, the agujjim arrives. This dish mostly consists of monkfish and bean sprouts. Nearly the entire fish is cooked in the stew so be ready for some bones. The fish meat is white and has a texture similar to lobster. There is a lot of food with one order. There were three of us eating and it was enough to fill us up. There is so much flavor in this meal and as stated already, it is very spicy! You can order it with only a little spicy if you want. The spice isn’t overbearing though, you can still taste all the flavors of the fish and shrimp. Depending on your tolerance it may take awhile to eat. You may need breaks to wipe the sweat off your forehead and take a swig of beer or water.

| Rice and stew mixture is amazing |
Once you are finished with fish and sprouts the waitress will take your leftover broth and make fried rice with it. It comes back from the kitchen covered in cheese and arguably tastes better than the original stew. The rice and cheese tame the spiciness a little bit and complements it perfectly.
