According to Wikipedia, Samgyetang (Korean pronunciation: [samɡjetʰaŋ]) is a variety of guk or Korean soup, which primarily consists of a whole young chicken and Korean ginseng. The dish's name literally translates as "'ginseng chicken soup" in English. Samgyetang is traditionally served in the summer for its supposed nutrients, which replaces those lost through excessive sweating and physical exertion during the hot summers in Korea.
So, in keeping with Korean summer tradition, we tried out one of the most frequented local ginseng chicken soup joints in Okpo. It is right down the street from Duty Free, not very hard to find. Don't worry about ordering, the place only sells ginseng chicken soup and it is delicious! Definitely worth checking out!
