From skewer omakase to okonomiyaki,
And the draft beer is amazing too...!
Korea or Japan? A real Izakaya review!
Hello everyone!
As the weather gets hotter,
Isn't there a desperate need for a cold draft beer and a delicious meal to bring back your lost appetite??
Today, I'm going to share my review of Hamaru Dapsimni Main Branch, an izakaya I've had my eye on in Dapsimni for a long time.
Hamaru Dapsimni Main Branch
📍 2nd floor, 17 Yongdapjungang 15-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
⏰ Hours: 17:00 ~ 02:00
🚗 No separate parking available
<Exterior>
Hamaru Dapsimni Main Branch is located at the entrance of Yongdap Market.
If you come out of Dapsimni Station Exit 5 and walk for about 5 minutes,
You'll see it on your right with its brilliant lighting.
The stairs leading up to the store are also well decorated.
I'm starting to wonder if this is Japan or Korea? LOL
I wonder where they collect this kind of sensibility and posters from~
<Interior>
The store is a cozy size, neither too big nor too small.
There are 4-person tables, group seats, and
The most attractive is the bar table seat where you can see the skewers being grilled directly!
You can see the moment the food is being made right in front of you,
So you can enjoy both the fun of watching and the fun of eating.
<Menu>
<A La Carte Dishes / Teppanyaki / Hot Pot / Sides>
Among the a la carte dishes, I was curious about
Karaage and Mentaiko Cheese Omelet
From the sides, I was curious about the Handmade Mozzarella Tofu,
And from the hot pots, I was curious about Motsunabe and Sukiyaki.
But our choice was from the Teppanyaki section
👉 Handmade Batter Seafood Okonomiyaki and
👉 Seafood Yakisoba
<Yakitori / Alcohol>
Since the skewers grilled right in front of you are the main attraction,
There was a separate Yakitori Omakase,
The Yakitori Omakase comes in 5-skewer and 8-skewer options.
The owner chooses from categories such as chicken, Asai Maki, and 3 other types each day.
Since we ordered other menus as well,
👉 We ordered two Yakitori Omakase 5-skewer sets!
Since I don't really like sake,
👉 Asahi draft beer~
Today's order
Handmade Batter Seafood Okonomiyaki (₩17,000)
Seafood Yakiudon (₩16,000)
2 Yakitori Omakase 5-skewer sets (₩17,000 * 2)
5 Asahi draft beers (₩8,000 * 5)
Handmade Cream Cheese Cracker (Service)
Review Start 👉
Just sprinkle sesame sauce on it and
A plate of cabbage that becomes a sweet treat
The sense to awaken your appetite with just cabbage!
👉 Asahi Draft Beer
One of the smoothest Asahi draft beers I've tasted in Korea.
I'm curious why the taste is slightly different every time,
But it was a smooth glass.
From the bar seats where we were sitting,
You can see the skewers being grilled~
While talking, it's essential to check on
My skewers from time to time, right~?
🍢 Yakitori Omakase 5-skewer set
Fun to taste evenly, including neck meat, pork cheek, tomato bacon, tsukune, and skin
Neck meat: Juicy, moisture explodes
Pork cheek: Chewy texture with a spoonful of savory flavor
Tomato bacon: Perfect balance of refreshing and savory
Tsukune: Sweet yet soft addiction
Skin: Crispy and savory
Handmade Batter Seafood Okonomiyaki
Heart pounding with the Shin-chan drawing you made with sincerity…♥
The fantastic combination of chewy batter, plump seafood, and rich sauce!
The Shin-chan drawing drawn with sauce was full of cuteness and was the best Instagram sensation.
Seafood Yakisoba
An umami explosion menu where the burst yolk and katsuobushi blend
When you pop the yolk, the savory sauce coats each strand of noodles,
And the subtle flavor of katsuobushi adds an even deeper taste.
Handmade Cream Cheese Cracker that took responsibility for the sweet and savory finish
Even when I was full, my hands didn't stop,
The boss's perfect service dessert!
