Once a famous snack for train passengers, garak noodles have disappeared from stations in Korea. Now they are back at Daejeon Station.

The Korea Railroad Corporation is offering the thin noodle-in-broth dish to train passengers from May 30, in partnership with Woosong University in Daejeon. The menu includes the traditional thin noodles and some new items that have been modernized to meet the palates of the younger generation.

They include chicken garak noodles, based in chicken soup mixed with ginseng, and the duru noodles, fried noodles with traditional Korean dish “tofu duruchigi.” The noodle place features an open kitchen and a design themed on train rides from the olden days, with black-and-white photographs of past times.
