Samgyeopsal for 2 people costs 4,000 yen (@2,000 yen). Lemon chu-hai costs 600 yen, and oolong tea costs 800 yen (@400 yen). Koreatown in Tsuruhashi is located on the outskirts. I came here on a friend's recommendation. The walls are covered with graffiti and signatures. Although my family consists of 3 people, ordering Samgyeopsal for 2 was enough. When I visited Seoul (Myeongdong) last month, I had to order 3 servings of a dish instead of 2 for 2 people. The owner is so kind. The Samgyeopsal set meal came with a lot of side dishes, including pickled vegetables, which is rare. The red chives were spicy but delicious. The bean sprout namul and kimchi were also very popular. The kimchi here is less sour compared to the authentic one. You can ask for a refill of kimchi. The meal also came with a stew, and you can choose between plain tofu or miso stew. Today, I chose plain tofu, but I might go with it again next time. Oh, and rice was also included. The sauce for the Samgyeopsal is a mixture of salt, sesame oil, and a sweet homemade miso. The miso is homemade and contains clams and shrimp. The pure tofu stew had a generous amount of clams and shrimp. Would it be called seafood pure tofu stew? The owner is very generous with information like this. The chu-hai and oolong tea come in large glasses, making it a good deal. After finishing everything, including the stew and drinks, my stomach was completely full! Initially, I thought about ordering a pancake (enough for 3 people), but I'm glad I didn't. Maybe I could have taken it to go. On the way back, I found a vending machine filled with Chilsung Cider and bought one to take home. There was also a single customer and a Korean couple at the restaurant, and the owner and his wife were chatting in Korean with a smile, making me feel like I was in Korea. It was a delightful experience.

A Korean restaurant in Osaka Koreatown. I happened to pass by, so I went in! "Excuse me! It's so cold outside, but I'm here!" "Welcome! (*´▽｀*)" "I'll have the Sundubu set meal, please! I need to warm up!" "Sure, please wait! (*´▽｀*)" It's so cold outside with snow and strong winds! In my hometown, I know where to find shelter from the wind, but in Koreatown, I have no idea, so I'm completely exposed to the wind. I thought I'd warm up by eating something hot from the inside out. And here it is, the Sundubu... *Slurp*... Mmm! So delicious (ﾟдﾟ)! It's boiling and so flavorful! Spicy and delicious! Next, the Kimchi... *Crunch*... Mmm! So tasty (ﾟдﾟ)! It's just like authentic Kimchi! Yum! And then the bean sprout Namul... *Munch*... Mmm! So delicious (ﾟдﾟ)! I could eat this forever! Korean food is spicy but so tasty. You feel the richness at first, then the spiciness slowly creeps in. I was so cold, but now I feel warm and cozy. I enjoyed the various side dishes and left completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal! #The boiling intensity is no joke #GoToEat #Osaka #Tsuruhashi #KoreanFood

Despite many restaurants being closed due to the pandemic, this one was open. I had samgyeopsal, which was thick pork belly that was tender and delicious. We also grilled garlic and kimchi together, which complemented the pork perfectly. The bibimbap had a gentle flavor, making it easy to eat. The atmosphere was great, with a feeling of a mother's cooking. I was very satisfied.

I had the Sol Lung Tang set meal in the evening. The restaurant is located a little off the main street of Miyukimori. The soup, cooked until bubbling, was milky white and full of flavor, with plenty of beef, noodles, daikon, and other ingredients. I adjusted the side dishes and kimchi to my liking, and in the second half, I added rice to enjoy it together. It was delicious and reasonably priced. I was able to get a free refill of rice. In the midst of uncertainty about when we will be able to travel abroad again due to the pandemic, I was able to fully enjoy a Korean atmosphere in Tsuruhashi and Ikuno.

I watched a program hosted by Kunihiko Mitamura and felt like eating samgyeopsal, so I came to the restaurant. However, since it was still during the New Year period, the market was closed and they couldn't procure pork, so they couldn't make samgyeopsal. I was so disappointed. When I asked the waitress for a recommendation, she suggested Kamjatang, which is a pot dish with pork ribs and potatoes. It also had plenty of dried radish leaves called shiregi. The mushrooms in the menu photo were not included. The ribs were mostly bones, and you have to scrape off the meat from the bones to eat. It wasn't very spicy, but when I asked the smiling owner to make it spicier, he added green chili peppers, making it extremely spicy! Lastly, I followed the waitress's recommendation and added instant noodles to finish the meal. I was very full. I wanted to try pig's feet and kkanpunggi, but they couldn't serve small portions. What a shame. The seafood pancake that the person next to me was eating looked big. It would be cost-effective to come in a group. I had a very pleasant time thanks to the waitress's thoughtfulness, kindness, and smiles. Thank you.

Today, I wandered around Ikuno Korea Town. It's raining a bit. As I walked, I saw a shop with a funny name, "Smiling Pig." What a great name for a shop. I decided to go in and ordered some Samgyeopsal. It was really delicious. They cooked it a bit crispy, and I wrapped the nicely grilled pork in vegetables. It was just perfect. Sometimes, you just crave Samgyeopsal. The pork here was cut thick and juicy.

I went to a restaurant because my friend recommended it. It's a cozy place run by a couple, and the food was delicious. They even offered seconds. The seasoning was a bit spicy and strong, so it might be better for those who drink alcohol.

"The samgyeopsal was delicious. You can smoke inside the restaurant."

It's been a while, so here's just a photo (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ. Please ignore it (;´∀｀)

I visited during lunchtime. There are 4 types of set meals (600 yen) and you can also order from the grand menu. Some people were eating set meals, while a group was enjoying Samgyeopsal with beer. Cold corn tea is served in bottles, which is a nice service especially under the scorching sun. The classic Korean side dishes are served first. We wait while enjoying the appetizers. I had the miso stew set meal. It was a very hearty stew with plenty of tofu and other ingredients, and the rice went well with it. It's hard to believe it only cost 600 yen. My partner had the cold noodles. They were similar to Morioka cold noodles, with white noodles. 5-4-28 Momodani, Ikuno-ku, Osaka City.
