Its glowing pink color was beautiful from the start, and it was sliced so thickly that I gasped as soon as I saw it 😋 I picked up a piece, added a little wasabi, and dipped it in soy sauce—there was no fishiness at all, just a rich, nutty flavor bursting in my mouth! Paired with the sliced onion, house sauce, and radish sprouts that came alongside it, the deep richness and freshness came together in a flavor that kept calling for another drink. Taking a big sip of chilled soju with this excellent dish felt like all my stress was melting away 🍶 ![Accompaniments for thick-cut salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon-12-1k24m-900.webp) ![Salmon sashimi enjoyed with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon-13-lsmel-900.webp) ![Salmon sashimi and soju pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon-14-va8wl-900.webp) ## Napolitan pasta that went beautifully with soju While enjoying the salmon sashimi, I started craving carbs, so we added the Napolitan pasta! This retro-style pasta was loaded with sausage and vegetables, and its savory sweet-and-tangy sauce soaked beautifully into the noodles—it was even better than I expected 💛 The moist sauce that clung so well to every bite made me wonder how soju and pasta could possibly be such a great pairing—we devoured it! It is the perfect menu item to have as both dinner and drinking food when you come here for the first round. ![Retro-style Napolitan pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon/daegu-gyodong-salmon-napolitan-nakwon-15-1w6vt-900.webp) ## Gyodong Nakwon, a place I want to visit again - Atmosphere: A cozy, distinctive Gyodong izakaya that feels like a trip to Japan - Space: Cozy bar seating as well as a spacious inner hall that easily accommodates group gatherings - Taste & quality: Thick-cut salmon sashimi and addictive Napolitan pasta are a perfect match!
