I heard there was a good izakaya in Shinnonhyeon, so I went to check it out.

Here’s the place

This is a street I ride down all the time on my way out to the Han River, and I must have passed it a hundred times, but this was my first time actually going in.

The spread

Nice and simple.

A plate of sea bream sashimi

This seems to be their signature dish, and wow… the quality is really good~ Who knew a place serving sashimi like this was hiding in Shinnonhyeon…

Grilled pork jowl

Grilled pork jowl simply cannot taste bad. It’s the perfect thing to drink sake with. I ordered a bottle of sake too, but I can’t find the photo… not that it was anything all that special, mind you…

Mocchiri tofu

It’s a tofu that eats like a dessert, and it’s an absolute treat. Breaking off a little at a time makes it a great companion to a drink.

To think there was an izakaya this good right in the neighborhood… it’s the kind of place I’d want to bring a close friend to…
