Ishizue
04918 329 Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul
"A quiet izakaya perfect for a drink, Ishizue" Ishizue is a small izakaya located near Gunja Station, offering a serene atmosphere where you can enjoy both meals and drinks. With its cozy bar table setup, it's a comfortable spot for solo dining, but it's advisable to make a reservation if you're coming with a group. The menu changes slightly with the seasons, and there's a diverse selection of beverages available. If you're having trouble deciding, feel free to ask for the chef's recommendations. It's particularly impressive how well the sake and Japanese shochu pair with the dishes, and the drinks are served to complement the food. The mackerel sushi, grilled eggplant with miso, and sashimi, which are frequently mentioned in reviews, left a lasting impression. The mackerel was nearly odorless and fragrant, while the grilled eggplant with miso was soft and sweet, making it a memorable dish. The yakigyoza and yakisoba were also satisfying, making it worth a visit at least once.
