For lunch today I visited Namwon-gol Chueotang, where fresh loaches greet you right at the entrance. Seeing the tanks, I could tell it was a great spot even before eating.

I ordered the basic chueotang, and the rich umami from the finely ground loaches paired perfectly with the tender dried radish greens. The side dishes were all seasoned just right, and eating them with the chueotang was truly a heavenly combination. I highly recommend it as a restorative meal when you're feeling low on energy! Next time I'll try the whole-loach chueotang!!!
