Since 1982

Our story

A record of Korean cooking carried across two generations in Icheon.

Documented history

1982

A name they could not change, a legacy they kept

After their Seoul business struggled in 1981, the founders began selling goods at Icheon's five-day market. They later had the opportunity to take over a restaurant called Jangheung Hoegwan. With debts to repay and no money to replace the sign, they kept the existing name. Since 1982, that name has carried the time and cooking of two generations.
