Located about 3 minutes from Akasaka Station, "Korean Cuisine Izakaya Tofu Akasaka" is a popular Korean restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Korean dishes in a casual setting. The restaurant is on the second floor, so you have to climb the stairs to enter. The interior is bright and has a cozy atmosphere. - Draft Beer (660 yen) Cheers with a beer! While Makgeolli and Chamisul go well with Korean cuisine, I personally prefer beer! Now that everything is ready, let's start ordering some dishes. But before that, we were served Korean-style appetizers like kimchi and Korean seaweed, which are perfect for drinking. - Seafood Pancake (1,580 yen) The combination of seafood and chewy pancake is excellent. Cooked to perfection with a good amount, and it goes really well with beer! - Bulgogi (1,580 yen) + Cheese Topping (200 yen) Bulgogi, a classic Korean dish, topped with cheese! The spicy and savory flavor pairs well with the cheese! It's not only great with drinks, but also makes you want to eat it with rice due to its rich taste. - Spicy Ramen (980 yen) The spicy ramen, which can be called the most famous Korean ramen, needs no introduction. Eating it at the restaurant adds a special touch to the experience. The egg is a nice accent, and it's irresistible. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the classic Korean dishes with a consistent deliciousness and a calming atmosphere. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere eliminates the need to be formal, and all the dishes were consistently delicious. It's a great place to enjoy Korean cuisine in a casual manner. I look forward to trying different dishes on my next visit.

I visited the Korean izakaya restaurant, Tofu Akasaka, thinking that they should not have temporary closure as they recently opened after the closure due to the pandemic emergency declaration extension. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap set meal for 980 yen including tax, with a large serving as a service. The aroma spread throughout the restaurant as the rice started to cook on the sizzling stone pot coated with sesame oil. The sound of sizzling and the crispy texture of the scorched rice made it even more appetizing. I flipped the rice with a long-handled spoon in the hot stone pot, creating a delicious bibimbap that tasted better as I mixed it with gochujang. I enjoyed the bibimbap until the end, spicing it up with extra gochujang, and had pickled vegetables, kimchi, and seaweed soup as palate cleansers in between bites.

This is a story about a lunch at Akasaka. It is a Korean restaurant located between Hitotsugi Street and Misuji Street, on the second floor of a building. It opened on April 3, 21, and seems to be a branch of the Korean restaurant Izakaya Tofujo Ichigaya. It is an izakaya where you can enjoy Korean cuisine with alcohol. You go up to the second floor. It is mainly table seating in a small restaurant. Cooking is done by women, while the male staff handle the customer service. There were no customers when I arrived. The menu includes various dishes such as stews, yukgaejang, korokke, bibimbap set meals, sweet and spicy pork stir-fry set meals, sweet and spicy squid stir-fry set meals, beef bulgogi set meals, stone bibimbap set meals, pork kalbi set meals, sweet and spicy pork stir-fry stone-grilled set meals, sweet and spicy squid stir-fry stone-grilled set meals, beef harami bowls, naengmyeon, bibim noodles, samgyeopsal set meals, samgyetang (half), priced at around ¥980-¥1,200 (tax included). The menu features large photos of samgyeopsal set meals and samgyetang (half), so they may be recommended. I ordered the stone bibimbap set meal for ¥980 (tax included). It comes with a salad, side dishes (jang), free extra rice, and free refills. K-pop music plays in the restaurant. I waited for about 7 minutes and received the stone bibimbap set meal. The salad and side dishes were served together. The salad was a mini salad with only lettuce. The side dishes included kimchi and a thin paste. It also came with wakame soup. The ingredients included carrots, bean sprouts, komatsuna, daikon, fern shoots, egg yolk, and shredded seaweed. I couldn't find any beef. It was a healthy stone bibimbap with mostly vegetables. This menu doesn't differ much from other restaurants except for the way the ingredients and rice are cooked. I was given a bottle of gochujang to season to my liking. I mixed it while it was still hot. Gochujang needs to be mixed well to bring out the flavor, and the kimchi had a moderate spiciness. There were no burnt rice crusts at the bottom. Maybe I made a mistake in choosing the menu. Overall, nothing particularly stood out to me. How about Akasaka, which has many Korean restaurants, and being on the second floor of a building?
