Sinpo Market in Incheon

 

 

Sinpo Market is a permanent market located in Incheon, the first Korean port city to open to foreign lands in the modern era. The market was formed spontaneously as new culture and products came into the country from Japan, Qing (present-day China), U.S. and Russia following the opening of the local Jemulpohang Port in 1883. In 1895, a fish market was opened for the first time, and around the same time, Chinese farmers entered the country to sell produce such as cabbages, radishes, onions, tomatoes, and carrots. Once the center of Incheon, the market has now turned into a historical place. For more than 110 years, the market has been such an important cultural and economic center that there was even a saying that “whatever one cannot find in Sinpo Market will not be found anywhere else in Korea.”

 

The first thing that comes to mind when it

 

comes tSinpo Market is dakgangjeong (fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet-and-sour sauce). The entrance to the market is lined with the best dakgangjeong stores in the country, with people waiting in long queues to get their hands on the fried chicken. Other good eats are the vegetable sundae (Korean sausage), five-colored and steamed dumplings, gukwappang (flower-shaped pastry with a red bean filling), meat dumplings, gonggalppang (crispy bread that is empty inside), and seasoned pork skin, all of which draw in visitors for a tour of the market.
