Korean Town in Shin-Okubo


Do you like Korean food?

I went to Korean town in Shin-Okubo with my friends . It was first time for me and I like Korean food so I was looking forward to going there.

We went there on October 18th so it was weekday but Korean town was very crowded. There were many people who like Korean food and culture.


We ate lunch at "Pun gum shop (プングム店)".





There was a restaurant of the lunch buffet style. We could eat some Korean food like kimchi, bibimbap, toppokki (Korean stewed rice cake), samgyeopsal (slice of pork) and so on. We also had a free drink. The price was 1,200 yen (90 min).

These are very delicious.

I have been to Korea last year and I ate some food there. These were very hot especially toppokki so I drank a lot of water. On the other hands, this restaurant foods were not too hot so I could enjoy eating. Even if you are not good at hot food, you can eat.

If you want to try eating Korean food, please go to Korean town. You can enjoy a travel to Korea in Japan.
