A new Korean restaurant focusing on seolleongtang opens in Shin-Okubo on Friday, February 6, 2026. The Jongno Seolleongtang Shin-Okubo 1st Store offers authentic Korean soup cuisine prepared with meticulous care.
About Seolleongtang
Seolleongtang soup is a traditional Korean dish made by simmering beef bones, meat, and offal for an extended period. At this restaurant, the soup is simmered for 48 hours. Rich in protein and minerals, it has fatigue recovery benefits. The dish is characterized by its mild and gentle flavor.
Japan's First Five-Colored Noodles
Seolleongtang is typically eaten with rice or noodles added to the soup. This restaurant uses colorful five-colored noodles.
The five-colored noodles are a branded noodle product made from natural ingredients and sun-dried, making their debut in Japan for the first time.
The five colors consist of:
- White = Rice
- Pink = Beets
- Black = Black rice
- Yellow = Pumpkin
- Green = Chives
These healthy noodles made from five natural ingredients are gentle on the body. Be sure to try them.
In addition to the signature seolleongtang, the restaurant offers over 20 types of soup dishes and more than 50 other menu items.
The menu includes Pyeongando-style hot pot (Obokjaengban) and Pork Belly Kimchi Jjim, which features a harmony of pork umami and kimchi sourness. With a variety of hot pot dishes and side dishes perfect for large groups of family and friends, the restaurant ensures you won't get bored no matter how many times you visit.
