There are so many bar snacks too, including ankimo (a Japanese monkfish liver dish) maki, which is not something you see everywhere. ![Exterior of Susan Sadang Main Branch izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-02-1xwpq-900.webp) ![Entrance to Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-03-sx8ps-789.webp) ![Susan Sadang Main Branch bar snack menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-04-b0fcl-695.webp) ![Susan Sadang Main Branch seafood snack menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-05-pafua-820.webp) ![Susan Sadang Main Branch drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-06-17y45-900.webp) ![Susan Sadang Main Branch izakaya menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-07-18cj4-900.webp) ![Various bar snacks at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-08-1d80d-820.webp) ![Susan Sadang Main Branch menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-09-861d4-900.webp) ## Why I chose ankimo maki and sweet shrimp soba There are really so many kinds of snacks, right!? There were lots of seafood-focused choices—yukhoe, salmon, flounder, shrimp, and more—plus chicken, creamy udon, and muksabal (acorn jelly in chilled broth), so I had a hard time deciding. But the ankimo maki, something I had never seen at a bar before, kept catching my eye! I narrowed it down to sweet shrimp soba noodles or ankimo maki, then went, “Why not just eat both!!!!” and ordered the two signature dishes haha. Wasn't that an excellent choice? Hehehe. ![Interior of Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-10-1qm8d-900.webp) ![Table seating at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-11-1ljf7-900.webp) ![Cozy seating at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-12-w6887-900.webp) The space is cozy, but the tables are not packed tightly together, so there was a comfortable amount of distance from other groups and it was nice for drinking ^^ ![Pre-meal sake at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-13-2vdha-900.webp) When you order, they give you a pre-meal drink like a welcome drink, and it was a clean sake that went down so smoothly!! ![Order of ankimo maki and sweet shrimp soba noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-14-w5wf9-900.webp) - Ankimo maki ₩23,000 - Sweet shrimp soba noodles ₩23,000 ![Ankimo maki at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-15-1399e-900.webp) ![Ankimo maki topped with monkfish liver](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-16-17sph-900.webp) ![Ankimo maki and its accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-17-1mho8-900.webp) ## My first rich, creamy ankimo maki Even the name ankimo maki was unfamiliar to me, and monkfish liver was something I wondered if I had ever eaten with agujjim (braised spicy monkfish). I think this was my first time really trying it through Susan Sadang Main Branch. There was such a generous heap of monkfish liver on it that it felt like I was finally tasting it properly haha. ![Generously topped monkfish liver ankimo maki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-18-1kyyb-900.webp) ![Monkfish liver topping on ankimo maki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-19-xkrwg-900.webp) There was absolutely no fishiness, nor the dry texture liver can have. It was rich and nutty, like egg yolk blended incredibly smooth haha. There was plenty of it—enough to pile an almost excessive amount of ankimo onto the gimbap (seaweed rice roll) and still not run out ^^ ![Seasoned sauce and cheese with ankimo maki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-20-ibmvn-900.webp) The seasoned sauce pooled lightly at the bottom, along with the cheese, was super delicious too! By this point, you know what has to come in, right? They gave us soju glasses, but the sake cups from the pre-meal drink were prettier, so we decided to pour our drinks into those instead haha. ![A drink poured into a sake cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-21-enx1u-900.webp) ## Soba noodles loaded with sweet shrimp Sweet shrimp soba noodles ![Sweet shrimp soba noodles at Susan Sadang Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-22-78v7c-900.webp) ![Soba noodles topped with sweet shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-23-trwzw-900.webp) It came topped with lots of sweet shrimp, and there was such a generous serving of soba that I practically ended up coming to a bar for a full meal hahaha. Adding the ankimo we ordered as a topping on the sweet shrimp soba noodles gave it a totally new texture and flavor—something I had never tried before—and I loved it haha. I was tired of the same old bar snacks every time, so if you are looking for new flavors like I was, stop by Susan Sadang Main Branch and enjoy a variety of fresh, new snacks haha. ![Sweet shrimp soba noodles with ankimo](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya-24-8gd2g-900.webp) The snacks were so generous and tasty that it felt like the drinks poured themselves. This was an izakaya where my first encounter with ankimo maki started off wonderfully, thanks to its approachable flavor and generous portion of monkfish liver, making me want to enjoy it again next time. The sweet shrimp soba noodles were seafood too, and perhaps because they were made with fresh ingredients, there was no fishiness at all; I was very satisfied with them as a drinking snack. ## Where it is - Susan Sadang Main Branch (수산 사당본점) - 1F, 17 Nambusunhwan-ro 271ga-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 동작구 남부순환로271가길 17 지하1층, 1층) - 서울특별시 동작구 남부순환로271가길 17 지하1층, 1층 - 37.4778717, 126.9790119 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%98%EC%82%B0%20%EC%82%AC%EB%8B%B9%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4778717,126.9790119,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cafe-menu/sadang-ankimo-susan-izakaya/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
