I usually like sashimi too, so when the kaisendon topped with several kinds of seafood arrived, all the different seafood over the rice looked appetizing as well. ![Kaisendon topped with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung-21-6o8cv-966.webp) ![Kaisendon with rice and seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung-22-fkvuw-966.webp) ![Special kaisendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung/jongno-kaisendon-sushi-choiwooyoung-23-2agyz-966.webp) ## For lunch plans near Jonggak Station and Gwanghwamun When making lunch plans around Jonggak Station and Gwanghwamun, there are so many menu choices that it can be hard to decide.
