Jajangmyeon Museum
History
The museum is located inside the historic former restaurant Gonghwachun (Korean: 공화춘; Hanja: 共和春). The restaurant was founded in either 1905, 1907, or 1908 by Yú Xīguāng (Chinese: 于希光; Korean: 우희광), a Chinese person who came to Incheon from Shandong, China. The restaurant was originally founded under the name Shāndōng Huìguǎn (Chinese: 山東會館; Korean: 산동회관; RR: Shandonghoegwan). In either 1912 or 1913, it changed its name to Gonghwachun. The Chinese dish zhajiangmian, which was popular in Shandong, was served in the restaurant. Over time, this dish eventually became the Korean dish jajangmyeon.
The museum was opened on 28 April 2012.
