Meals from My Solo Trip to Seoul

As a foodie, I wasn't interested in beauty or Korean cosmetics. My trip to Korea was all about eating, eating, and eating! 🇰🇷

Restaurants that are easy for Japanese tourists to visit (based on my personal observations and opinions):

● Yeoncheon Yeonhwa, Cheongdam
Japanese menu available
🇯🇵 70% Japanese customers
I started going here because my favorite celebrity's autograph was displayed, and now I visit every time I travel to Korea. It's open 24 hours, and I've even taken a taxi late at night just to eat there! I've ordered just the yukhoe (Korean raw beef) without the bibimbap before.

● Original Masan Halmae Agujjim, Sinsa
Japanese menu available
🇯🇵 50%
Ever since I was told their ganjang gejang (soy-marinated crab) is delicious, I make it a point to visit every time I come to Korea. 🦀 Without eating this, my trip to Korea feels incomplete.

Restaurants with fewer Japanese customers and my first-time visits:

● Cheonapo Bossam
No Japanese menu?
🇯🇵 About 20%
There were two other groups besides me. The meat was tender and very delicious! The side dishes were also great.

● Jojo Kalguksu, City Hall Branch
Japanese menu available
🇯🇵 About 30%
The restaurant is spacious, so it feels like there are quite a few Japanese customers. There were 3-4 other groups besides me. The menu only has three items, so it's easy to choose. It was my first time trying kalguksu (knife-cut noodles). The saltiness was just right, but my face was puffy the next morning. 🤣 I also wanted to try their jeon (Korean pancake)...

● Neundong Minari, Sinryeongsan Branch
No Japanese menu?
🇯🇵 Less than 10%
It felt like I was the only Japanese person there. I didn't hear any Japanese being spoken. The food was incredibly delicious. The prices weren't too high, and I've decided to go back again!
