Dangsan izakaya bar seats, chicken skin and tsukune skewers: Kaken
Kaken is a recently opened izakaya near Dangsan Station in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, serving charcoal-grilled skewers and grilled fish. On a second-round outing with her husband, the writer sat at the bar counter and ordered chicken skin, negima and tsukune skewers with 2 grilled rockfish for 18,000 won and Saero soju, plus refills of the free side dish of warm quail eggs and konjac braised in soy sauce. With plenty of light bites that go down easily even on a full stomach, Kaken works well as a date spot for 2 to 4 people.
