Hannam-dong pub with whole grilled yellowtail head: Hannam Multeo

The weather is getting colder, so I started craving yellowtail sashimi. This weekend I went to Hannam Multeo (한남 물터), a Hannam-dong pub where they catch the fish right there and slice it up on the spot.

Hannam Multeo's entrance and atmosphere

Hannam Multeo is in the basement of a building. The softly glowing Multeo logo really catches your eye! There is also a Catch Table waiting machine at the entrance, so you can register for a wait there.

It reminded me a bit of the way pubs in Japan are built, so I was excited from the moment I headed down the stairs :)

The whole place has wood-tone interiors with soft lighting, so it feels warm and cozy. There are also bar-style seats toward the back.

Can you catch your own yellowtail from the tank at Hannam Multeo?

There is a big fish tank right in the middle of Hannam Multeo. Apparently, if you order yellowtail or striped beakfish (jul-dom), you can scoop the fish out of the tank yourself, like fishing...? I was too scared to try, but the table next to me did it, so I just watched, haha.

What complimentary side dishes does Hannam Multeo serve?

Here's the menu! This is the Hannam Multeo menu board.

First, an appetizer came out in a bowl made from a pen shell. It was crackers, monkfish liver and flatfish sashimi together, and this is just the free starter?! The quality was amazing...

How was Hannam Multeo's seasonal yellowtail sashimi (79,000 won)?

The seasonal yellowtail sashimi at Hannam Multeo is ₩79,000. And finally, Mr. Yellowtail makes his entrance... It came sorted by cut, and a staff member explained each cut one by one. I love sashimi sliced thick like this...

It was chewy, and the more I chewed the nuttier it got. The fatty cuts in particular spread softly in my mouth and were super rich and nutty. With wasabi and sauce it was the best, haha. One bite of yellowtail and a glass of soju made me so happy. I'd been wanting yellowtail for a while, and I was really, really satisfied!!

Spicy beef brisket hot pot (35,000 won) with the sashimi

The spicy beef brisket hot pot (우삼겹 얼큰전골) at Hannam Multeo is ₩35,000. Sashimi alone felt like not enough, so I ordered a soup dish too. The hot pot was packed with beef brisket, plus mushrooms, napa cabbage, tofu and lots of other ingredients.

You can't skip a hot soup when you're drinking soju... Simmering it bubbling away on a cold day was so good.

Best drinking-snack combo >_<

Order yellowtail and a whole grilled yellowtail head comes too

When I ordered yellowtail at Hannam Multeo, they served the head grilled like this? The whole fish head came out, haha. It was tender, soft, nutty and delicious.

I loved how varied the menu was. We were chatting away over good food and lost all track of time. In the end we finished two bottles of Chamisul (soju), haha.

They even picked out just the meat and put it on a plate for us, so it was easy to eat!!!

Watching the next table catch striped beakfish and a sea bass being netted

The guest at the next table caught a striped beakfish, haha. It looked so fresh. The owner also showed us how he catches a sea bass.

Is there a restroom inside Hannam Multeo?

Hannam Multeo has its restroom inside the restaurant.

It's a pub, but the restroom was so clean. Big plus!!!!

There was mouthwash and fabric spray (Pigeon) set out on one side too. Love it.

Hannam Multeo for winter yellowtail cravings

I visited Hannam Multeo, a Hannam-dong pub, because I wanted winter yellowtail! The sashimi was thick and chewy and I was really satisfied. It seems like a good place to go in Hannam-dong when you want sashimi and a drink in a nice atmosphere.

Winter means yellowtail sashimi, of course...🐟🤍 I'll have to eat lots of yellowtail again this winter, haha.
