[Tokyo/Shin-Okubo] The hugely popular Sawii Shokudo from Seoul has finally landed in Japan!



On February 10th, Japan's first Sawii Shokudo opened its doors! 🎉

The wildly popular Sawii Shokudo from Seoul has finally come to Japan!
I’m so excited 💓 to finally be able to eat authentic Nakgopsae in Japan~

The spiciness is probably milder than in Seoul,
and the level of heat that’s spicy for Japanese tastes felt about like the regular spiciness at the Seoul location! 🌶️
It was packed with plenty of ingredients, very satisfying ☺️

The pajeon (Korean pancake) was thick and fluffy,
crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—absolutely delicious 🤤🩵
I hadn’t really eaten such a thick pajeon before,
so I was really impressed ✨

I hope Nakgopsae becomes more popular in Japan~ ☺️
