What is Haemaru’s Must-Try Signature Dish, “Ganjang Gejang”?
Ganjang Gejang (간장게장) is a traditional Korean dish of fresh raw blue crab marinated in a special soy sauce. The plump crab meat and the rich, deep-flavored soy sauce blend exquisitely, creating a taste so delicious you can’t stop eating! The melting sweetness and aroma of the sea, which can only be enjoyed with fresh crab, are further enhanced by the saltiness and umami of the soy sauce. It’s a perfect match with rice—truly a “rice thief”!
Haemaru’s Ganjang Gejang stands out for its large, satisfying crabs. They are committed to using fresh blue crabs, which are full of rich roe. The soy sauce is prepared with an exquisite sweet and savory balance that is also familiar to the Japanese palate, bringing out the crab’s natural flavor to the fullest. (※The price is based on the market price, so please check at the restaurant.)
The common way to eat Ganjang Gejang is to mix rice in the crab shell. The crab roe and soy sauce soak into the rice, creating a moment of pure bliss. You can eat the meat by holding the crab with your hands and biting into it, or by cracking the shell. Using chopsticks to eat it elegantly is also an option. If it’s your first time, it’s a good idea to ask the staff how to eat it.
Haemaru’s Popular Menu: Bulgogi & Samgyeopsal
Besides Ganjang Gejang, Haemaru has a lot of other delicious Korean dishes!
- Bulgogi: A classic dish of beef and vegetables stir-fried in a sweet and savory sauce that goes perfectly with rice.
- Samgyeopsal: A dish of juicy pork belly grilled until crispy. Wrapping it in lettuce or perilla leaves gives it a refreshing taste.

What are the voices and reputation on social media?
A Korean restaurant where you can eat Ganjang Gejang. The dishes, including the meat, are of high quality despite being reasonably priced. (Be careful, only the sashimi is very expensive!) They also have homemade makgeolli that’s not on the menu, which is exceptionally delicious, so be sure to try it.
You can eat Ganjang Gejang = raw soy-marinated crab. They also have makgeolli, which is not on the menu. The service and hospitality of the ‘mama-san’ and the staff are wonderful.
The price is affordable and the taste is very delicious. There are many Korean BBQ restaurants in various cities, but they can be divided into several types, such as large, popular places and those with a homely atmosphere. I tried it for the first time 3 days ago and was hesitant at first, thinking it might be a bit high-end, but the price was very reasonable. The restaurant is clean and not noisy, so you can enjoy a slow meal while chatting with friends. I wanted to try the plate dishes that Korean people often eat, so I ordered the same menu they were having. It was a dish of pork, kimchi, and green onions grilled on a teppan and wrapped in leafy vegetables. It was cheap, voluminous, and very delicious. It went well with the soju I brought, and I ate too much. They also cook it carefully for you, which might be why it’s so good. I ended up going two days in a row, and on the second day, I had the bulgogi, which was also satisfying. I plan to go there often from now on.
The meat is tender and delicious♪ I’ll have the yukhoe too. I also drank some Chamisul. Next time I want to try the makgeolli. The wife is very kind.
