Busan's identity dish: milky pork-bone broth over rice, finished at the table with salted shrimp, chives and chilli paste until it tastes like yours alone.
Dwaeji gukbap is Busan's Korean War dish. Refugees who flooded the wartime capital simmered cheap pork bones into a milky broth and poured it over rice, borrowing from northern soups and Miryang market stalls. It became the city's everyday meal, from Seomyeon's gukbap alley to 24-hour shops like Jeongjitgan, and in 2025 the Michelin Guide crowned a generation of specialists such as Hapcheon Gukbapjip and Anmok.
