Korean Cuisine
Korean restaurants and izakayas in Japan are popular dining establishments offering authentic Korean cuisine. From classic dishes like kimchi, bibimbap, and samgyeopsal to newer menu items like cheese dakgalbi and tteokbokki, a wide variety of Korean foods can be enjoyed. Known for their balance of spiciness and umami, these dishes are often adapted to suit Japanese tastes. Diners can enjoy their meals in a lively atmosphere, accompanied by Korean alcoholic beverages like makgeolli and soju. Recently, aided by the popularity of Korean culture such as K-pop, these restaurants have gained a wide following, especially among young people.
