🌊 Perfect recommendation for Gangneung & Sokcho food tour course

#Travel Course #Gangneung

“Buy Uni at Sokdat Port → Go on a trip to Gangneung Beach → Chodang Corn Latte → Giljjuk-i Hotteok → Manseok Chicken Gangjeong!”

⸻

⛵ 1. Morning – Uni Shopping at Sokcho Sokdat Port
• Among the local fish markets in Sokcho, Sokdat Port is famous for purchasing ‘uni (sea urchin roe)’!
• Sea urchin roe in season is fresh and not fishy, so you can eat it as sashimi right away 🧡
• TIP: If you visit around 9~10 am, the quantity is large and the freshness is good!
• Price: 10,000~20,000 won per pack (price may vary)
• You can also buy octopus, sea squirt, and sea cucumber at the nearby fish markets
• Be sure to bring an ice pack and a cooler bag!

📸 Local Point: Take a picture at the dock behind the port to get a good feel!

🌊 2. Mid-morning - Walking around Sokcho Beach
• After purchasing sea urchin, head to nearby Sokcho Beach and enjoy the sea breeze
• Walk barefoot on the white sand and have a quick coffee at the lighthouse cafe
• Many people open the sea urchin and eat it on the spot while listening to the sound of the waves 😋

⸻

🚗 3. Around noon - Head to Gangneung (~1 hour)
• Sokcho → Gangneung is a great place to eat with a view if you drive along the coastal road
• It's also good to take a quick stop at Yangyang Surf Beach and Jumunjin Port along the way!

⸻

🌽 4. Lunch & Dessert - Emotional eating time in Chodang-dong

📍 [Chodang Corn Latte - 'Soft Lab']
• The original corn latte! The combination of sweet and sour is fantastic
• Latte + cream + corn kernels, and the vanilla scent is lingering
• Summer limited corn ice cream is also highly recommended 🍦

📸 Photo zone: Yellow signboard outside + Take a picture of the Chodang-dong mural road with a latte!

⸻

📍 [Long hotteok – ‘Jungang Market or Chodang branch’]
• Longer and chewier than regular hotteok!
• Characterized by dripping black sugar and seed toppings
• Hotteok in one hand, corn latte in the other = Walking mukbang complete 😋

⸻

🍗 5. Afternoon – Manseok chicken gangjeong pick-up time
• Gangneung branch is the Jumunjin side and Gangneung Jungang Market branch are representative
• It is a place with a lot of waiting even on weekdays, so we recommend making a reservation in advance or visiting during off-peak times
• You can enjoy both mild and spicy flavors if you mix them half and half
• You can request a cooler pack / Be careful not to get exposed to cold wind while moving!

✔️ TIP: Chicken gangjeong is great for a same-day meal, but it’s also great for taking home on the train to Seoul or as a late-night snack at your hotel!
