The bar's name is “12.24” — a place known for mackerel pressed sushi, beef belly nagasaki champon, and seriously great visuals. It's located at 1F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea (12.24 Seomyeon Branch). It's 293m from Exit 7 of Jeonpo Station, so it was easy to get to by subway. Open daily 17:00 to 02:00. ![Exterior of 12.24 Seomyeon Branch near Jeonpo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-03-1rzwh-900.webp) ## Christmas vibes all year, just like the name says From outside, I saw the name was 12.24 and thought, huh?? that's literally Christmas Eve's date, and walked in with no expectations — but sure enough, the inside was completely Christmas-themed and I was honestly surprised. ![Interior of 12.24 Seomyeon Branch decorated with Christmas lights](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-04-170sn-900.webp) ![Wall of 12.24 Seomyeon Branch hung with sparkly decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-05-9zchc-900.webp) They'd hung sparkly decorations along the walls for Christmas Eve, and I could see people chatting over drinks. There were regular tables and a bar table, and we were seated at the bar table rather than a regular one. ![Bar table at 12.24 Seomyeon Branch with a view of the cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-06-18ipo-m-900.webp) ### Watching the cooking from the bar seats From the bar table you could watch the staff cooking right in front of you, and one of the staff members kind of looked like Kyuhyun from the group Super Junior, and he was really handsome haha. ![Complimentary cabbage and corn salad served as a starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-07-1noyo-900.webp) The complimentary cabbage and corn salad ~~ The cabbage was super crunchy, and the corn salad, made with corn kernels and mayonnaise sauce, was really tasty. ![Set menu page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-08-chs8s-900.webp) ![Japanese dishes page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-09-zldf4-900.webp) ![Soup dishes page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-10-1e38x-m-900.webp) ![Fried dishes and kushikatsu page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-11-ds2ga-900.webp) ![Side dishes page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-12-1s7z3-900.webp) ![Japanese sake and highballs page of the 12.24 Seomyeon Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-13-1ml88-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at 12.24 Seomyeon Branch? The menu was divided into set menus, Japanese dishes, soup dishes, fried dishes, kushikatsu, sides, Japanese sake, and highballs. From all of that, we ordered mackerel pressed sushi and beef belly nagasaki champon. ![A plate of mackerel pressed sushi served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-14-nd6c8-900.webp) ## Mackerel pressed sushi: nutty, with no fishy smell First out was the mackerel pressed sushi. Since we were sitting at the bar table, we got to watch it being made before it arrived, and I kept going “wow~~” while watching. ![A piece of mackerel pressed sushi topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-15-94vnt-900.webp) ![Mackerel pressed sushi dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-16-serlj-900.webp) Put a bit of wasabi on the mackerel and dip it in soy sauce, and it's amazing — zero fishy taste, really nutty. It was my first time trying mackerel pressed sushi and it was genuinely so good ㅠㅠㅠ ![A pot of smoky beef belly nagasaki champon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-17-15pju-900.webp) ## Beef belly nagasaki champon: smoky wok flavor, spicy broth Next came the beef belly nagasaki champon. We chose the spicy level, and no extra smoky sauce was added — it genuinely tasted smoky from the wok cooking itself. ![Spicy broth of the beef belly nagasaki champon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-18-1hip8-900.webp) The broth was insane haha. Full of smoky wok flavor with a spicy kick, I kept spooning it up and got totally hooked. Champon is one of my favorite dishes, and this place is a genuine hidden gem for beef belly nagasaki champon. ![A spoonful of beef belly nagasaki champon broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-19-qr4jd-900.webp) ![Beef belly nagasaki champon packed with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-20-xvq47-900.webp) With the spicy kick and the vegetables in it, it felt kind of like eating mala tang — for a second I thought, wait, is this mala tang? — but nope, it was beef belly nagasaki champon haha. ![Champon with bok choy, mung bean sprouts, beef belly and wood ear mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-21-rho4e-900.webp) Bok choy, mung bean sprouts, beef belly, wood ear mushrooms — all delicious, and eaten together with the broth, the flavor got even more irresistible. ![Lifting up the champon ingredients with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-22-1yv1y-900.webp) ![Extra champon noodles served separately](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-23-19znp-900.webp) ### Noodles served separately, boiled in the broth at the table Champon can't be without noodles ~~ so they gave us noodles separately, and while we were eating I dropped them in with a plop to simmer, then took a bite — the noodles were so soft, and once they soaked up the broth they were a perfect match. ![A plate of crispy-outside, juicy-inside chicken karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat-24-k0wh6-900.webp) ## Chicken karaage with a glass of soju The chicken karaage was crispy outside, juicy inside. One bite and our eyes went round, happily munching away, taking a sip of the champon broth, then a shot of soju — us 💗 Today I went to check out 12.24, one of the recommended Jeonpo spots, and it really does seem like the perfect bar for couples on Christmas Eve. Eating the beef belly nagasaki champon, mackerel pressed sushi, and chicken karaage all so deliciously made for another happy date today. ## Where it is - 12.24 Seomyeon Branch (12.24 서면점) - 1F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 1층 12.24 서면점 - 35.1566426, 129.0648909 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/12.24%20%EC%84%9C%EB%A9%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.1566426,129.0648909,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-open-hours/jeonpo-izakaya-nagasaki-jjamppong-bar-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
