It was quite a drive to this place from our hotel. The restaurant seemed to be located at a pier area and there are parking space available just opposite the restaurant.

Is it the only sashimi restaurant at this place? No as we observed, there is another one just next door to this. But is this a popular one? The answer is a resounding yes! We were there before 730pm and without reservation. There is a machine for automated queuing system but we had difficulty using that due to unfamiliarity. Lucky us, the staff from the restaurant was helpful and we got ourselves into the queue.

We waited outside but it was raining so, we moved our butts inside the restaurant and they do have a narrow corridor with seats for guests to wait for their queue number to be called.

We got ourselves a table after 30 minutes. The menu is relatively simple, so we got ourselves a set for 4 pax which is ₩85,000.

Though the place is super busy, staff will take time to 'teach' or 'share' with first time diners on how to best enjoy the dish. There was a sequence of condiments to pair with the fish, but at the end of the day, one is free to craft their own wrap. Hahaa!

The most interesting thing, is the glutinous rice that's supposed to be in the wrap. First time am eating it this style. The rice was not salted but it did have a nice sesame oil fragrance.

It was actually very nice to make wraps with rice and raw fish. It got tastier the more one chews on it. The raw fish had different textures, depending on their cuts. The fattier ones are more chewy.

The set consist of grilled fish and a pot of soup. I love the grilled fish so much. Fatty and smooth flesh. Plus the grilled fragrance is one that can't be resisted.
The soup was comforting for the rainy weather. The spiciness came from the green chilies in the soup!

The staff also brought us a small braised dish for us to try. Thank you for the treat!

We enjoyed our meal and there's a coffee machine at the shop's entrance. So we got ourselves a cup and drank it to wait for the rain to subside because none of us remembered to bring our umbrella. Haha!
