Seolleung sushi bar explaining China-origin uni, half fry order: Sakai
Sakai is an okonomi-style sushi sakaba in a quiet alley a 6-minute walk from Seolleung Station Exit 1 in Gangnam, Seoul. Sitting alone at Sakai's counter at 6pm on a weekday, the writer ordered on Post-its and had benjari, filefish, mottled squid and mackerel nigiri, uni the chef introduced as China-origin, a 2-piece half order of horse mackerel fry instead of 4, and a Suntory draft beer. Picking from the neta that came in that day is the fun of Sakai, making it an easy recommendation for solo drinking near Seolleung.
