Namcheon-dong izakaya for flatfish konowata sashimi and handmade chicken karaage
A small izakaya on Hwangnyeong-daero 481beon-gil in Namcheon-dong, known for flatfish konowata. There is no dedicated parking, so nearby paid parking is the practical plan. The room is compact and evening waits are common, so using CatchTable remote waiting before arrival is the easier route.
The signature is konowata sashimi, with the small size around KRW 30,000 and the large size around KRW 42,000. Long-cut flatfish is paired with sea-cucumber innards, then wrapped on dried seaweed with radish sprouts and wasabi. The flatfish brings chew, while the konowata adds salty, rich sea aroma.
Konowata has an offal-like seafood character, so it is especially good for people who like sea urchin, sea squirt, or stronger raw seafood. If the aroma feels strong, use more wasabi. Pollack-roe flatfish sashimi, sanma sea cucumber konowata, and konowata rice are useful follow-up options.
The handmade chicken karaage is the other fixed order. The small size is around KRW 21,000, with crisp skin, juicy meat, and a salty seasoning that fits beer or soju. Tables are limited to two hours, making it best for friends drinking, dates, and small seafood-loving groups rather than a long formal dinner.
