Jajangmyeon Museum, Food museum in Jung District, South Korea

The Jajangmyeon Museum contains six exhibition halls displaying the history, ingredients, and preparation methods of Korean black soybean noodles through photographs and artifacts.

The museum opened in 2012 at the former site of Gonghwachun restaurant, established between 1905 and 1908 by Chinese immigrant Yu Xiguang from Shandong province.

The exhibitions detail how jajangmyeon evolved from the Chinese dish zhajiangmian to become an essential part of Korean food culture through adaptation to local tastes.

Located near Incheon Station on the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, this free-entry museum presents interactive displays and regular cooking demonstrations throughout the year.

Visitors can explore a reconstructed 1960s kitchen and a 1930s dining room that showcase the traditional preparation and serving methods of jajangmyeon.
