“Mijin(미진)”, located near Gwanghwamun, is renowned as one of Seoul’s most famous destinations for cold buckwheat noodles, or naengmyeon.

Upon entering Mijin, guests are immediately greeted by the warm, nostalgic atmosphere of a long-standing eatery. The menu at Mijin is straightforward, focusing on quality over quantity. The cold buckwheat noodles are particularly notable for their firm, chewy texture and the flavorful broth that is heartier and richer than the typical Japanese soba tsuyu. This dish, served chilled, is both refreshing and satisfying, especially during Seoul’s hot summer months.

The noodles are complemented by a variety of traditional Korean sides like kimchi and pickled radishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. The service is quick, ensuring that even first-time visitors can enjoy their meal without hassle.

For anyone visiting Seoul and looking to experience a genuine slice of Korean culinary tradition, Mijin is a must-visit. Not only does it offer some of the best cold buckwheat noodles in the city, but it also provides a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Korean cuisine.
