Interviewed by HeySeorak
JapanesePremiumDowntown

A reservation-only Japanese dining room near Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, where a chef with nearly a decade of sushi omakase experience serves a seasonal six-course meal that blends Japanese technique with French touches. The menu rotates every three months — built around whatever the local boats and market auctions bring in that morning. No sushi counter theatrics, just a quiet room and a meal you won't find twice.

Pro tip

Book ahead — this is reservation only with just two seatings per night. One drink per person is mandatory, and the sake list is exceptional. The menu changes every three months, so repeat visits always bring something new. If you like fish, ask about the papillote — it's the dish foreign visitors remember most.
