Calling all Korean foodies! Today, let’s embark on a tantalizing journey as we unravel the feast served by two popular Izakayas (Japanese-style bars), ‘Ranjuku’ and ‘Simibe’, in the heart of Seoul!

Ranjuku (란주쿠)

Ranjuku, an Izakaya serving Warayaki, a speciality from Kochi Prefecture in Japan, is a known haven for liquor aficionados in the Samsung-dong area. Their love spills over every Saturday when they offer corkage-free service. From the common trio of wine, sake, and whiskey to all others, if it’s a spirit, it’s a welcome guest here. Bravo! Their Saba Bouzushi and Pork Neck Misoyaki are known crowd-pleasers. Additionally, their personalized service, even when you bring your own liquor, is a marvel for all frequenters.

Simibe (시미베)

Let’s head to the rapidly emerging hotspot, Simibe, a charming Izakaya in Sindang. With layers of fresh Neta (fish topping), their Yamamori sushi, also known as sushi cake for its seemingly stacked appearance, is a sight to behold. And, your palate would agree! The variety of fresh fish, including the flame-torched ones, offers an exciting eating experience almost comparable to Omakase. Additionally, the unique Yubudoro, a torch-flamed dish filled with tuna and various toppings, is a must-try here. Both dishes blend perfectly with sake. Cheers!
