Why here
A yakitori counter in Seongsu-dong 2-ga that grills chicken by the part — thigh with spring onion, tail, gizzard-side cuts, cartilage, wing, neck — at ₩3,000–3,800 a skewer, plus a straw-grilled whole thigh. The rest of the menu is izakaya standards: tsukune, onigiri, potato salad, mentaiko ochazuke, and a hangover ramyeon the shop calls its own. Sung Si-kyung featured it on Meogeultende in July 2022.
