For a dinner for two, the order was the Motoku moriawase (assorted sashimi) at 39,000 won and abalone innard pasta at 21,000 won, with two glasses of Kelly draft beer and one tokkuri (flask) of sake. Because Motokurashi serves both raw fish and warm dishes, it is an easy place to build a two-person evening around. ## Good to know - **Location**: 27 Baekjegobun-ro 41-gil, Unit 202, Songpa-gu, Seoul (365m from Seokchon Station Exit 1) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 17:30–24:00, Sat–Sun 17:00–24:00 (last order 23:00) - **Motoku moriawase**: 39,000 won - **Salmon jang (soy-marinated salmon)**: 32,000 won - **White fish tossed with mentaiko**: 32,000 won - **Abalone innard pasta**: 21,000 won - **Food total for this visit**: 60,000 won (moriawase + abalone innard pasta) - **Drinks**: 2 glasses of Kelly draft beer, 1 tokkuri of sake - **Price reference**: ₩30,000 ≈ $22.5 · ₩20,000 ≈ $15 · ₩60,000 ≈ $44.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat dinner on Songridan-gil and stopped in at this izakaya. ![Visit photo of Motokurashi, an izakaya on Songridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-01-1ua5t-900.webp) It's a place that serves both sashimi and pasta, so I figured it'd be good for the two of us to share. ![Motokurashi, an izakaya that serves both sashimi and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-02-1dtxo-m-900.webp) ## What kind of izakaya is Motokurashi? Motokurashi is an izakaya 365 meters from Exit 1 of Seokchon Station, tucked inside Songridan-gil. It's not on the first floor — it's unit 202, so you go into the building and head up, and the wooden door marks the entrance. It only opens after 5 p.m. as a dinner-only spot, so you can't go for lunch. ![Wooden door entrance of Motokurashi, unit 202 on Baekjegobun-ro 41-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-03-9zgwz-900.webp) ![Entrance and interior view of Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-04-i49fz-900.webp) ![Interior of Motokurashi, which only opens in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-05-1wk9q-900.webp) ![Seating atmosphere at Motokurashi izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-06-jk71f-900.webp) The menu has both traditional izakaya dishes, like assorted sashimi, and pasta side by side. ![Motokurashi menu with assorted sashimi and pasta side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-07-1kf53-900.webp) ![List of side dishes on Motokurashi's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-08-1yd0j-900.webp) If you feel like sashimi alone isn't quite enough and want to add a cooked dish, there are plenty of options. ![Table while looking over the menu options at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-09-12lbs-900.webp) ![Table setting at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-10-dob4m-900.webp) ## Motokurashi menu prices Here are the prices for the signature dishes. - Motoku moriawase (assorted sashimi) ₩39,000 - Salmon jang ₩32,000 - White fish with mentaiko mix ₩32,000 - Abalone innard pasta ₩21,000 Sashimi dishes run in the ₩30,000s, pasta in the ₩20,000s. We ordered the moriawase and the abalone innard pasta, so food alone came to ₩60,000. ## Two dishes and two drinks at Motokurashi: the review ### Two glasses of Kelly draft beer After the sashimi was laid out, we started with draft beer. They serve Kelly on tap, not just in bottles, so you can get it as a draft. We split two glasses and finished the sashimi plate first. ![Two glasses of Kelly draft beer at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-11-bz9f4-900.webp) ### One tokkuri of sake After the beer, we switched to sake. They don't sell it by the glass — you order it by the tokkuri (sake flask), which worked well for the two of us to share. ![Sake ordered as one tokkuri flask](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-12-1i48a-900.webp) Drinking it in the later part of the meal, while there was still sashimi and pasta left, made for a natural close. Overall, we both left satisfied. ### Abalone innard pasta, 21,000 won I picked this to add a warm dish after the sashimi. ![A plate of abalone innard pasta at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-13-1dsrz-900.webp) ![Close-up of the cream-based abalone innard pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-14-hllu4-900.webp) ![Serving out the abalone innard pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-15-n6z0o-900.webp) It's ₩21,000, a cream-based pasta made with abalone innards. ![Noodles of the ₩21,000 abalone innard pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-16-16ic4-900.webp) ![Abalone innard pasta served as the warm dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-17-1qmd8-900.webp) Eating sashimi alone can get a bit much halfway through, but putting this in between kept the flow going without a break. ![Table for two with moriawase and pasta at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-18-196t3-1200.webp) ### Motoku moriawase, 39,000 won This is the signature dish we ordered first. At ₩39,000, it's on the pricier side of the menu here. ![₩39,000 Motoku moriawase assorted sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-19-1g4v4-900.webp) It comes as a plate with several kinds of sashimi gathered together, which was perfect for two people to share. ![Plate of moriawase with several types of sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-20-17ojv-900.webp) ![Close-up of a single piece of sashimi from the moriawase](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-21-1dfua-m-900.webp) ![Moriawase shared between two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-22-10in9-900.webp) ![Sampling the different kinds of sashimi at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-23-6fo00-900.webp) If it's your first visit, this is an easy dish to start with since you get to try a variety of types all at once. ![Full dinner spread for two at Motokurashi](https://img.superchart.com/images/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner/motokurashi-songridangil-izakaya-couple-dinner-24-4o93c-900.webp) ## How to get to Motokurashi from Seokchon Station It's 365 meters from Exit 1 of Seokchon Station on Subway Lines 8 and 9.
