안녕하세요, What's Up Korea Story의 Minjae예요.

We looked at Nampo — three stops. Jagalchi first. Then two rooms Koreans still use after the market.

01 · Nampo

Busan Jagalchi Market · 부산 자갈치시장

Three minutes from Nampo Station exit 2. The stalls along the water first — fish, knives, the smell. This is the market. The rooms come after.

02 · Nampo

Busan Specialty Sashimi Restaurant · 부산명물횟집

Next door. Fifty years in one place. Hwaebaekbap — flounder hoe, a clear soup, rice. Four minutes from exit 2. The market on a plate, not a second lap of the stalls.

03 · Nampo

1969 Buwon-dong Kalguksu Nampo Branch · 1969부원동칼국수 남포본점

One minute from Nampo Station exit 1. Homemade kalguksu — knife-cut, a different temperature from the hoe. The last room on this Nampo list.

Three stops. Market, hoe, noodles — the Nampo loop locals still walk.

Keep walking
