3.[Pinyo Shokudo" (Pinyo Restaurant) offers delicious sundubu (soup) / Sanjo

Korean cuisine is often characterized by stimulating flavors, but Pinyo Shokudo is characterized by its gentle taste that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients. The wood-grained interior and handwritten menu are relaxing. The popular Sundubu set meal is made with scallions and tofu in a broth and stewed with gochujang (red pepper paste). The soup is red hot, but the gentle flavor is so good that it makes the meal go down a treat.
It is a happy moment to eat the hot ingredients while chewing on them.

4.The restaurant has a great atmosphere [Korean Cuisine Nagwonchan] / Shijo-Karasuma, Tokyo

Korean Cuisine Nagwonchan is located in a 100-year-old building with the aroma of Taisho Romanticism. Although the exterior has a stately appearance, the renovated interior has a clean and refreshing atmosphere. While the restaurant offers a luxurious menu for dinner, such as bulgogi made with A5-ranked Japanese beef, lunch is a more casual affair. The main dish for this lunch, available in several choices, is honey mustard chicken. The accompanying pancakes are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The regularly changing lunch menu is fun no matter how many times you visit, making this a restaurant you will want to use on a regular basis.
