Thick-cut flatfish and sea bass sashimi, 25,000 won

The flatfish/sea bass sashimi (₩25,000) truly lives up to its name — the slices were unusually thick! Thick through and through! The moment one piece hit my mouth, that distinctive chewy bounce and thick texture filled my mouth completely!

Thanks to the fresh, savory flavor that came out more and more with each chew, I got to properly enjoy real Dongmun Market sashimi takeout! Paired with the wrap vegetables, my chopsticks kept going back without ever getting tired of it.

Futomaki, 13,000 won: a full-mouth roll

Futomaki (thick sushi roll, ₩13,000) — the futomaki grabs your attention with its size alone, and it really showed its worth when I took a big bite! It filled my mouth completely, and the flavors of the various fillings blended perfectly. It was a great side dish to pair with the clean-tasting sashimi, and also a satisfying meal on its own!

Coconut fried shrimp, 8 pieces for 10,000 won

Coconut fried shrimp, 8pcs (₩10,000) — besides the sashimi and futomaki, the coconut fried shrimp I added as a special extra was also an excellent choice! The crispy outside and springy, bouncy shrimp inside brought back memories of the coconut shrimp I ate in Guam!

Thanks to the subtle coconut aroma combined with the savory fried coating, I finished it all with delight!
