Why here
An evenings-only Japanese room on the second floor of a Toegye-ro building in Sindang, working through small plates — mentaiko potato, yuba, grilled pork jowl — alongside a sashimi platter presented as a cake. Open from six until midnight, and among the small share of drinking-style venues in Seoul that Korean guides explicitly flag as comfortable for solo diners.
