A Day of Exploration: Dining near Seokchon Lake and Cultural Adventures in Seoul
This post is a subjective review written with partial support from the company.
Looking for a place to have lunch near Seokchon Lake, I visited Tokyo Sanpo Seokchon Lake.
This restaurant is a well-known spot in Songridan-gil, offering rolls and various Japanese dishes.
The atmosphere was neat and modern, and the interior was sophisticated. I especially liked the relaxed vibe.
However, the sea urchin bibim noodles (uni bibim noodles) I was looking forward to were a bit disappointing.
It wasn't particularly delicious; it tasted like ordinary bibim noodles, which was a bit underwhelming.
But the charm of this place can be found in other menu items besides the uni bibim noodles.
The rolls, in particular, were delicious. Each bite of the roll offered fresh ingredients and a delicate taste.
After lunch, I took a walk along Seokchon Lake.
The weather was nice, and it felt refreshing to walk around the lake.
It was a harmonious experience, enjoying delicious food in nature.
Tokyo Sanpo Seokchon Lake, though a Japanese restaurant, is a great place for those who want to escape the bustling streets of Seoul and enjoy a meal surrounded by nature.
The atmosphere is nice, and the food is generally good, so I'm willing to revisit it in the future.
After that, I spent a night at Signiel Seoul.
Signiel was luxurious, and it was a comfortable place to relax, so the day went by quickly. Before returning home, I decided to take my daughter and her friend on an outing in Seoul.
On Friday, we headed to Insadong and visited Museum Kimchikan.
I heard that a kimchi cooking class required advance reservations, but luckily, my daughter's friend's mother made a reservation, so my daughter could participate as well.
The kimchi cooking class was free, and not only children but also adults could enter.
The kimchi cooking class was a fun experience. It was a cucumber kimchi-making class in August, and it was cute and rewarding to see the children diligently preparing the ingredients and making kimchi.
My daughter told me to put the cucumber kimchi she made in the refrigerator and eat it starting on Monday.
Touring the kimchi museum was also interesting, and it was a time to learn more about kimchi.
After that, we ate pork cutlets at Oyatkatsu for lunch, but I didn't have time to take pictures because I was eating with the children.
But the taste was good, and the children enjoyed it.
After that, we visited Changsin-dong Toy Street. I heard that there was a toy store that appeared on "I Live Alone", so I visited it with the children, and the store was huge. The children were excited to see their favorite toys and took a bus with one toy each.
Changsin-dong Toy Street was like paradise for children with a variety of stationery and toys.
After that, we stopped by Baekmidang in Samcheong-dong to recharge our sugar levels.
Baekmidang is a traditional Korean-style cafe, where I could spend a relaxing time eating ice cream.
We also visited the National Folk Museum of Korea.
I watched the cat exhibition with my children and also saw the four seasons exhibition before returning.
After that, we went to the Children's Museum, where the children had a great time.
The Children's Museum is small, but it was a space where children could have enough fun.
Perhaps because they were with their friends, the children played more excitedly.
It was a fulfilling day trip, and both the children and I were satisfied.
