Near Asakusabashi Station, I got a massage and then headed to a Korean restaurant located right by the East exit. It used to be the location of a Japanese yakiniku restaurant called Nihon Yakiniku Party, which is actually its sister store. I arrived at around 12:30 on a Sunday and ordered the Takkalguksu for 1200 yen. The restaurant has a casual izakaya feel, with Korean music videos playing on the TV (typical of Korean restaurants, right?). The lunch menu is extensive, offering bibimbap sets, cold noodles, kuppas, stews, samgyeopsal sets, and more. Korean cuisine is usually spicy, but as someone with a sensitive stomach, I was relieved to find options that I could enjoy. The Takkalguksu was a chicken-based soup with knife-cut noodles, with a mild flavor that left me slightly unsatisfied (maybe lacking a bit of salt?). There was surprisingly a lot of chicken in it, and I left feeling full. I'd like to come back next time to try the samgyeopsal! Thank you for the meal!

This is my second visit. The atmosphere inside the restaurant makes you feel like you've suddenly arrived in Korea, which I really like. I'm addicted to the sesame flavor of the samgyeopsal, it's so delicious. They even cut it for you after grilling, so it's convenient. The menu has a wide variety of options, so I always have a hard time deciding what to order. If you're looking for Korean food in Asakusabashi, I highly recommend it! ✨

The taste was too spicy for me, it was far from the Chapchae I know. The green chili peppers in the photo were also less than half the amount shown in the menu photo. The appetizer was a small portion of water kimchi for 500 yen! I was surprised that it came to 1,500 yen for three people! The drinks were also expensive, with a highball costing 500 yen and a mega jug costing 1,000 yen. Considering the bill, I couldn't enjoy my drinks as much. (Crying)

Today, I visited a Korean restaurant called "Ton Daegateun Market Asakusabashi Higashiguchi" near Asakusabashi Station for the first time in a while. This time, I chose the option where they cook the Samgyupsal in the kitchen and bring it to you, but it's still better when it's cooked right in front of you on the hot plate. The spicy version of the Samgyupsal was the most delicious this time. The cold noodles were not that great, and they forgot the vinegar miso for the sliced beef intestines, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch set with Chukumi Bibimbap and Sundubu Jjigae for 1100 yen. The Bibimbap had about 3 pieces of Chukumi and a good amount of food, very satisfying. It wasn't very spicy, but you can add more Gochujang if you want. The Chukumi was crispy and delicious. The stone pot stayed hot until the end, creating a nice crispy layer of rice. Eating it with seaweed was also tasty. As for the Jjigae, the ingredients were disappointing. Only one clam and one thinly sliced Tteokbokki. Plus kimchi, bean sprouts, tofu, and about 100g of pork belly. The lack of clams was a letdown. It was spicy, like red chili pepper spicy. I was worried it would be too spicy at first, but surprisingly, it was manageable. Maybe because it's Sundubu? It came out pretty quickly after ordering. Overall, it was satisfying, I guess?

This Korean restaurant in the area is quite popular. I visited for a second round and ordered namul, chicken stir-fry, and some kind of dumplings. There aren't many Koreans around here, so it's a nice place to visit quickly. On another day, I had a course meal and overall, I was satisfied with the taste and portion sizes. However, the samgyeopsal was disappointing as it came out lukewarm. I'll definitely visit again.

Energetic sales! The bright neon signs are attracting customers, and there is also takeout available. I decided to dine in alone at night. The menu offers a variety of tempting options like Samgyeopsal, Jjim, hot pot, and other dishes. The miso-flavored Sundubu-jjigae I ordered at the end left a lasting impression! The Jjim was also fluffy and highly recommended!

Today, I visited the new store of Buta Daimon Ichiba, which I had previously visited in Umamachi, called "Buta Daimon Ichiba Asakusabashi Higashiguchi Store". They are open until morning, which is quite rare these days. The food was delicious, from appetizers to main dishes like samgyeopsal, all of which were tasty and came in generous portions. We tried almost all the dishes and enjoyed every bite. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We will definitely visit again!

This month's monthly meeting was held at Ton Daegam Market in Asakusabashi. I enjoyed two types of samgyeopsal, kimchi, and kimbap and was very satisfied. The chukumi was simply delicious. It's close to the office, open until morning, so I can come anytime. Thank you for the meal!

Today I visited Asakusabashi. Despite having a tight schedule, I managed to secure some time for lunch, so I went to "Butadaimon Ichiba" located just outside the east exit of the station. This place used to be the main store of "Nihon Yakiniku-tou," but later a store opened in the west exit, and before I knew it, the main store had closed. Butadaimon Ichiba is the Asakusabashi branch of a store I saw in Bakurocho before. They have a variety of lunch menu options! I ordered the Hormone Chige set with a rice → mini stone bibimbap substitution. I forgot that you can specify the spiciness level for the Chige, so I added extra spicy later. The sight of the bubbling Chige and the stone bibimbap with mentaiko is quite impressive. (laughs) The Chige had a slightly sticky sweetness that bothered me a bit, but the hormone had no odor, with a sweet fattiness that melted in the mouth, making it delicious. I mixed both dishes and enjoyed them. I even mixed some Chige soup into the stone bibimbap for flavor variation and finished everything. I am satisfied and full♪ (Note: They do not accept cash, so be careful!) ("Starting with curry, ending with curry!")

- The country that wears the most masks in the world seems to have become number one. Everyone seems to be at worship on Sundays, with many days off around here. Oh, I think the store that used to be "Japan Yakiniku Party Asakusabashi Higashiguchi Store" has changed to "Butadaimon Market". It seems like they wanted to play off Dongdaemun Market, hence Butadaimon Market. The management is the same as the previous store "Japan Yakiniku Party", but it feels like they changed their focus. From a yakiniku restaurant to a Korean street food stall. It seems to be part of the Korean wave, which was popular among old men a long time ago. Korean. It's a drinking establishment, but recently there's a trend towards moving by car. And especially motorcycles, if you can't stand up, it's bad. You can even just have a meal, it seems. Well, since it's close by, a night visit might be possible too. Let's say hello, or rather, let's observe the situation. The interior of the store is small, but there's apparently also a basement. Everything is done in a modern style, or rather, with cheap equipment, giving it a street food vibe. The menu is... from 11:30 to 16:00. However, the drinks are only available from 13:00 to 16:00 as part of the lunch drink menu. And it's only soft drinks. There are 5 types of naengmyeon. There are many rice dishes. Set meals, jjigae stews, and so on. And there's a perfect menu for a trial run - Stone Bibimbap and Naengmyeon half & half set for 1100 yen. Let's choose Stone Bibimbap and Butadaimon Naengmyeon. Stone Bibimbap and Naengmyeon are nicely sized. They come with Korean seaweed and a salad that you don't eat. Naengmyeon - it's been a while. Let's first check the firmness... slurp... Huh, it's not cold at all. The menu is naengmyeon. Not cold naengmyeon - it's the first time, and it's soft. Probably rinsed with tap water. And very soft. Warm and soft naengmyeon. A bit tough to eat. Stone Bibimbap - let's see how it is... first, mix it up. Hmm, the seasoning feels a bit random. It's not bad, but it's bland? The taste is not very Korean, in a way it's made without a distinct flavor. Adding Korean miso doesn't change much, not really hitting the spot. Maybe it's the skill of the part-timer today... Maybe the attitude of the cook, or lack thereof, is the issue. Nowadays, it might not be about saying "let's make it delicious." Maybe there's a shortage of people available now, globally a difficult situation. This is Gossan.【N.M.N】

Pork Daimon Market opened in Asakusabashi!! Finally it's here ♡ You can easily enjoy Korean food without worrying about the time! The attractive operating hours are great! I didn't eat much today because it's late at night, so next time I'll go to eat samgyupsal!! Thank you for the meal! And the 250 yen draft beer is too good to be true. I might have been completely satisfied here without going to Asakusa. The chapchae was also delicious!

Today we visited Asakusabashi and went to Butadaimon Ichiba with the Nombyo Gundan group. The restaurant has two floors, both bustling with customers. We started with a draft beer and some samgyupsal, which made us break a sweat. The air conditioning seemed to be at its lowest, but our seats may have been warm. When I went to the restroom downstairs, it was much cooler, so I recommend sitting there in the summer. Thank you for the delicious meal! We will definitely visit again if we have the chance!

My wife and I made a reservation and went to the restaurant. We were seated right by the entrance, so we sat side by side with my wife. We used the smartphone ordering system to order a draft beer, Calpis, and the main dish, the Pork Daegam Market Set. We were also served water kimchi as a complimentary appetizer, with free refills. The entrance door was left open every time a customer or staff member came in or out, making it very hot. There was also a speaker above our heads blasting K-pop music, making it difficult to have a conversation with my wife. Despite having just finished a workout, I couldn't stop sweating. The staff member who cooked the Samgyeopsal was sweating profusely, but the meat was delicious with two different types of marinade. It was my first time having mini tomatoes on top. The Sunny lettuce was free for refills, but the perilla leaves were optional from the beginning. Before finishing the meat, we ordered the cheese fried rice to pace ourselves. The staff prepared the fried rice, which was sticky with cheese. We finished the cheese fried rice and thanked the staff. It was a promotional price since it was the restaurant's opening, but the sweaty Samgyeopsal was tough to handle.

I went to Tonkatsu Market Asakusabashi Higashiguchi store! They have a wide variety of menu items that go well with beer. The appetizers with chili peppers on top are delicious and really make your drink go down smoothly. The Samgyeopsal is cooked by the staff, so it's easy. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is filled with Korean vibes and is fantastic. Thank you for the meal.

In front of the station, there is a street performer celebrating their grand opening. Until August 2nd, they are offering a lunch special of half stone bibimbap and half cold noodles for 880 yen. The image shows a partially eaten salad. In the evening, they also have sets for two people and draft beer for 300 yen. The previous Yamagata beef barbecue restaurant has merged with the one at the west exit, creating a bit more space for seating.

This month's monthly meeting was held at the Ton Daemun Market in Asakusabashi. The Kanjangseu was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I love pork bulgogi, but I can't finish this amount (lol) I miss the taste of bulgogi I had in Seoul...

I randomly walked into this shop.

I went during the campaign period. The cost performance was good. The first floor seats felt a little hot. It seems there is also a basement, which my companion said was cooler.
