About half a year ago, a Korean restaurant opened, but another new restaurant has now opened on Showa Street. A friend pointed it out to me, and I realized it might be the place where "Ranpu no Akari" was located before moving to Kawaii Building. I had been curious about the new restaurant for a while, but I hesitated to visit alone because the portions seemed too large. Finally, I was able to visit. I ordered the bottle of fresh makgeolli for 1800 yen (tax included), as I tend to drink a lot. I love drinking fresh makgeolli at barbecue restaurants, but this one had a different taste - more refreshing. Among the many tempting food options, I tried the following: Samgyeopsal for 2 people at 2200 yen (1100 yen per person, but you have to order at least 2 portions). It came with a unique grill with a slope and a hole in the middle where the fat from the meat would flow into a paper cup. I wasn't sure how to cook it correctly, but I grilled the large pork belly on both sides, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and cooked it thoroughly. I was unsure what to do with the kimchi on the plate with the onions and garlic on the grill... but I decided to grill it all. There were plenty of condiments! I wrapped the meat in lettuce and perilla leaves, added kimchi, namul, chopped green onions, green chili peppers, and gochujang... and took a bite! The meat was well-seasoned, slightly salty, but incredibly delicious. I also tried the Chukumi Pokkum for 880 yen, which was already cooked and served. It was mildly spicy, sweet and savory, with chewy octopus - delicious. The kimchi with the samgyeopsal was slightly tangy. The menu mentioned "Yangsu," so I wonder if it's a related restaurant. I've heard that authentic kimchi is supposed to be sour. With my plans for a trip to Korea falling through, I'm thinking of gathering friends to try more dishes at this restaurant.
