Stopping in for a second round after work, the writer ordered a tokkuri of sake for 9,000 won and the Japanese oden moriawase (assorted oden platter) for 24,000 won, and the well-simmered radish, the yubu (fried tofu) pouch and the spicy broth refill stood out. For warm sake with warm broth, Odeng Osaek is a solid pick for round two. ## Good to know - **Tokkuri (sake flask)**: 9,000 won - **Japanese oden moriawase (assorted platter)**: 24,000 won - **Complimentary snack**: Crackers and tuna - **Broth refill**: Spicy version available - **Seating**: Fairly spacious interior, plus outdoor tent seating - **Address**: 1st floor, 42 Seochodae-ro 73-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch: a Japanese-style oden bar from the storefront in Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch is a Japanese-style oden bar tucked in an alley between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station. The exterior leans into wood-textured signage and lighting, nailing that izakaya feel right from the entrance. ![Japanese-style exterior of Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-01-kmrvz-1200.webp) ![Izakaya entrance with wood signage and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-02-1exmq-m-900.webp) This place is dripping with Japanese atmosphere~! The exterior is so pretty and Japanese-looking. The wood-textured sign and lighting give it exactly that izakaya feel. ![Sign and lighting at Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-03-18s6y-900.webp) ![Full view of the oden bar exterior with Japanese atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-04-wr8te-900.webp) I've been completely obsessed with tokkuri lately. So when a friend and I were looking for a bar near Sinnonhyeon Station for round two after work, we ended up at Odeng Osaek Gangnam. It was one of those days when I really wanted the full Japanese oden bar vibe. After a light first round, heading to a place with this izakaya feel for round two really shifts the mood. Address: 1st floor, 42 Seochodae-ro 73-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul ![The shop's location in the alley between Gangnam and Sinnonhyeon Stations](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-05-afega-900.webp) ## Where is Odeng Osaek? Between Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam Station, with outdoor seating Odeng Osaek Gangnam is roughly in the alley between Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station. It's not a bad walk after work, so I'd guess plenty of people find it searching for bars near Sinnonhyeon Station. ![Spacious interior seating at Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-06-ipf1v-900.webp) The interior is on the spacious side, so it never feels cramped — good for settling in and drinking at ease. If you're looking for a roomy bar near Sinnonhyeon Station, this one's worth considering. Even a bigger group coming for round two wouldn't feel squeezed. And there's outdoor tent seating too, which is a nice bonus, haha. The second we sat down, I ordered the tokkuri first, lol. ![Tokkuri and cup set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-07-tjuk5-900.webp) ![Basic side snacks: crackers and tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-08-rznj2-900.webp) The basic side snacks were crackers and tuna!! Surprisingly tasty too. ![Plate of crackers and tuna side snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-09-16wqx-900.webp) ## What we ordered: tokkuri sake for 9,000 won and oden moriawase for 24,000 won At Odeng Osaek Gangnam, we ordered the tokkuri for 9,000 won and the Japanese oden moriawase for 24,000 won. Since I've been so into tokkuri lately, there was no hesitation on that order. ![The ordered tokkuri flask](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-10-1h1ni-900.webp) ![Tokkuri poured into a small cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-11-eal7q-900.webp) The tokkuri had a subtle aroma that spread gently as it went down. A different kind of charm from cold beer — the kind of drink you sip slowly and savor. The cup is cute too, lol. The moriawase brings together all sorts of different oden on one plate, so it's the best choice when you want to try a bit of everything. Next up, the moriawase platter arrives. ![Plate of Japanese oden moriawase](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-12-2hwv9-900.webp) ### The best bite on the oden moriawase platter was the simmered radish All the different oden pieces were delicious, but the radish was the best of all. It was simmered so thoroughly that it broke apart softly with just a light press of the chopsticks. The warm broth aroma had soaked deep into the radish, so one bite and the broth's scent bursts out. I thought about ordering another one à la carte, but I was too full — pass! ![Well-simmered oden radish in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-13-1hcpe-900.webp) Eating it alongside the tokkuri, the warm broth oden and warm sake combo paired really well together. ![Warm oden paired with tokkuri](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-14-1vz7n-900.webp) ![Close-up of the oden fried tofu pouch](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-15-ecmsd-900.webp) The fried tofu pouch, lol — this one's tasty too. It's fun dipping it into the broth. ![Fried tofu pouch dipped in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-16-1p63e-900.webp) All the other oden pieces had different textures too, so you never get tired of it and keep reaching for more. That one looks kind of like rice cake...? ![A piece of oden that looks like rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-17-1vqyt-900.webp) In between, we kept snacking on the crackers and tuna too!! ![Going back for more crackers and tuna](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-18-1iyhg-900.webp) Some of the oden had a chewy texture, others were soft, so it was fun picking through a variety. There was even egg — a nice little surprise point. Chomp chomp. Dipped in the broth, it's got a bit of sweetness and tastes great. ![Plate with chewy oden and egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-19-idaeh-900.webp) ![Oden and bean sprouts dipped in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-20-18v7v-900.webp) ![Spicy refilled oden broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-21-1hc80-900.webp) ### Broth refills at Odeng Osaek come in a spicy version too The bean sprouts cut through the richness nicely. Dipping each piece one by one is quietly addictive. The broth in particular is really good — and when you refill it, you can choose the spicy version! I went spicy, and it turned out to be surprisingly hot. This is really the perfect spot for a second round. Sure, you're full, but there's the fun of taking your time and picking at things one by one, haha. It kind of brought back memories of being in Japan, haha. ![Table of oden and sake enjoyed for round two](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-22-1ky0o-900.webp) ![Table at Odeng Osaek Gangnam Station Branch near the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase/odeng-osaek-gangnam-tokkuri-morawase-23-1wu6e-900.webp) ## Is Odeng Osaek worth it for an after-work second round?
