# Seoul Station Japanese restaurant for Kirin draft and karaage: Furato - By Sori (https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-place-settings/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Jung-gu, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a sponsored visit from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-place-settings/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@daejeon-place-settings/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/index.md) ## In short Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store is a Japanese restaurant on basement level 1 of Seoul Square, next to Seoul Station in Jung-gu, Seoul. The steki set comes with a personal mini charcoal grill, where each slice is seared medium for 30 seconds and stacked three layers high with white rice and wasabi, served here with sanjoku karaage (whole-cut fried chicken), onsen tamago and draft beer. The Kirin draft tastes exactly like the one the writer drank at izakayas in Japan, so the steki set with a draft beer is the combination to order. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1F-4, 416 Hangang-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul (take the escalator to the left of the Seoul Square main entrance on the 1st floor down, then immediately left) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–20:50 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 and 20:20 - **Amenities**: Takeout, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, groups welcome, reservations available - **Parking**: Available (free); valet 5,000 won - **Payment**: Naver Pay accepted - **What we ordered**: Steki set, onsen tamago (hot-spring egg), sanjoku karaage (whole-cut fried chicken), draft beer, zero-sugar cola *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I'd always heard Seoul Station had a ton of things to do and eat, but I never really had the chance to go, ㅠㅠ.

As someone who loves Japanese food, every single item on the menu looked amazing to me…🤤 ![Storefront signage introducing Furato Shokudo's Japanese menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-02-1xnw2-900.webp) ## Furato Shokudo's menu, waiting times and reservations Among the many Japanese dishes on Furato Shokudo's menu, the gyukatsu, Japanese-style omurice, steki don, Yamagata minced beef curry, and steki set all caught my eye. It was my first visit, so I agonized over what to order, ㅠㅠ. ![Signature menu board showing gyukatsu, omurice and other Furato Shokudo dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-03-18zyh-900.webp) There were plenty of waiting customers out front with Catch Table reservations.

It's fun to eat this way, and cooking it exactly how you like makes it taste even better! ![Personal mini grill served alongside the steki set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-07-1bqst-900.webp) ### How to eat Furato Shokudo's gyukatsu at its best - 1.

Underneath is whole-cut chicken, topped with scrambled egg, raw onion, and sauce😋😋 ![Sanjoku gara-age topped with scrambled egg and raw onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-14-ru51v-900.webp) ## How do the sanjoku karaage and onsen tamago taste? Let me start with the sides — I already love Furato Shokudo's onsen tamago, so I ordered it, and it was so moist and jiggly, clearly made with really fresh eggs! With the sanjoku gara-age, taking a bite of chicken together with the scrambled egg and raw onion and a bit of sauce is pure heaven💕 There's a reason it comes served that way👍🏻👍🏻 The chicken is boneless so it's easy to eat, super crispy, and with the crunch of the raw onion added in, it's absolutely delicious, ㅠㅡㅠ. ![A bite of whole-cut fried chicken with sauce and raw onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-15-1mx96-900.webp) ## Grilling the steki set medium for 30 seconds on the mini charcoal grill Coated the personal grill plate with butter and started grilling the meat!! ![Mini grill plate coated with butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-16-10ac1-900.webp) Let's go medium first — 30 seconds!🥩🥩🥩 ![Steki meat grilled medium for 30 seconds](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-17-1s3b2-900.webp) Stacking the freshly grilled meat three layers high with white rice and wasabi was 💯💯💯 The meat wasn't tough at all — it was so tender it melted together with the rice, and I felt bad eating each bite, it was that good, ㅠㅠㅠ. Grilled yakiniku-style and eaten right away, the meat's savory juices were still alive, truly delicious, ㅠㅠ🫶🏻🫶🏻. If the meat starts to feel heavy, the miso soup, salad, and side dishes reset your palate right away! ![Grilled steki meat piled onto white rice with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-18-mso4t-900.webp) ![Glass of draft beer enjoyed alongside the steki set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer-19-16urq-900.webp) ## Why you should order the Kirin draft beer You have to order the draft beer at Furato Shokudo…🍻💯 I fell for it on the first sip, took two sips, and it was already gone that much, hahahaha. It tastes exactly like the Kirin draft I drank at izakayas in Japan!! No need to go to Japan anymore. I was so moved that I could get that refreshing Japanese Kirin draft taste right here in Korea, ㅠㅠㅠ. Among all the countless restaurants around Seoul Station, if you're looking for a great Japanese spot, I recommend Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store! The steki set with draft beer combo — total win!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ## Where it is - Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store (후라토식당 서울스퀘어 직영점) - B1F-4, 416 Hangang-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 한강대로 416 지하1층 B1F-4 - 37.5557982, 126.9738345 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%9B%84%EB%9D%BC%ED%86%A0%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EC%8A%A4%ED%80%98%EC%96%B4%20%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5557982,126.9738345,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-place-settings/seoul-station-hurato-steki-beer/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
