I had always gone just for the chicken, so I’d quietly wondered what the other snacks were like. This time, though, I was surprised to find the menu packed with dishes that pair perfectly with beer. With a full lineup of snacks that go wonderfully with crisp draft beer, it’s great for a first round—or as a Balsan Station bar for a light second stop. 🍻✨ ## Daily Beer Balsan Station Branch: Store Information ![Daily Beer Balsan Station Branch store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-01-1ypa0-900.webp) Daily Beer (Saenghwal Maekju) Balsan Station Branch is at Unit 106 on the first floor of New Golden Tower, 89 Magokjungang 6-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

The whole interior was decorated in Daily Beer’s signature style, so it was fun just looking around, too~. ## A Wide Selection of Snacks for a Second Stop ![Bar snack menu at Daily Beer Balsan Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-04-1tqc0-900.webp) ![Light snacks considered during a second-stop visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-05-qrdxh-900.webp) ![Variety of bar snacks besides chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-06-1qstq-966.webp) Since we came for a second stop this time, I took a closer look at some new, lighter dishes instead of the chicken I usually order. ![Menu with fries, tteokbokki, and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-07-1p9c5-966.webp) Opening the menu, I found not only chicken but also fries, sausage, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), salads, nachos, cheese sticks, sherbet, and so many other snacks that work brilliantly for both a first and second round. It’s a great place to fill up with a hearty meal on your first stop, but it also has lots of dishes like the ones I chose—perfect for casually nibbling with a cold beer on a second stop. It really felt like a Balsan Station bar that would be satisfying whenever you visit. As it happened, I was chatting with the person I was with about a trip to Japan, and one very special set menu immediately caught my eye. Naturally, we ordered it without hesitation! ## Matsuda Manager Osaka Set and Crunchy Cheese Balls ![Matsuda Manager Osaka Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-08-1dxy7-900.webp) ![Set of takoyaki and two draft beers](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-09-1hbde-900.webp) The menu we picked that day was the Matsuda Manager Osaka Set: a satisfying combination of takoyaki (octopus balls) and two draft beers! At ₩24,000, it felt reasonably priced and just right for enjoying something light. ![₩24,000 Matsuda Manager Osaka Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-10-1iql3-900.webp) ![Takoyaki set for enjoying something light](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-11-jd4sx-900.webp) Once we’d ordered, a staff member brought everything out nicely arranged and easy to eat. The takoyaki, which I hadn’t had in ages, was seriously so delicious. ![Takoyaki arranged for easy eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-12-1fmcc-900.webp) It came not only with a generous sprinkle of katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), but also a fresh vegetable salad, making it ideal for picking at without feeling too full on a second stop. ![Takoyaki served with katsuobushi and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-13-1u37l-900.webp) After eating away happily for a while, I wasn’t hungry exactly, but felt like my mouth wanted a little something more—so I added Crunchy Cheese Balls as a side (₩6,500 for five pieces). ![Five-piece Crunchy Cheese Balls side](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-14-1uop1-900.webp) ![Crunchy Cheese Balls dusted with house seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki-15-1x36m-900.webp) I expected ordinary cheese balls, but they were dusted with a house seasoning that was spicy, sweet, and savory all at once. I couldn’t help but exclaim the moment I took a bite. Since this is a place that specializes in beer, I could really tell that the side dishes were made to bring out the flavor of the beer, too. ## Final Thoughts on a Second Stop Beyond Chicken It had been a while since my last visit, so I tried a new set and side instead of my usual chicken. There were so many dishes suited to a second stop that I came away having had such a lovely weekend. Delicious takoyaki, addictive cheese balls, and cold beer are an unbeatable combination—reliable happiness every time. If you’re looking for a light drink on the way home from work or somewhere for a second stop, I definitely recommend dropping by at least once. Now that the weather has warmed up, lots of people were enjoying the outdoor patio, too!! 💛✨ ## Where it is - Daily Beer (Saenghwal Maekju) Balsan Station Branch (생활맥주 발산역점) - 89 Magokjungang 6-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 강서구 마곡중앙6로 89 뉴골든타워 1층 106호) - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙6로 89 뉴골든타워 1층 106호 - 37.5601717, 126.8372931 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%83%9D%ED%99%9C%EB%A7%A5%EC%A3%BC%20%EB%B0%9C%EC%82%B0%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5601717,126.8372931,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@evening-plate-glass/balsan-station-beer-takoyaki/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
