The mentsikatsu was steaming,, like it had just come out of the fryer, and I loved how thick and satisfyingly huge each bite was. ![Thick mentsikatsu from the Bunko Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-18-e2xsg-966.webp) There were six pieces of sushi. The wasabi level was perfect,, and the slices of fish totally passed the test •• 💯 ![Sushi and raw fish in the Bunko Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-19-2osls-966.webp) And finally, the sashimi! Can you see how fresh it is, even in the photo?.? The moment I took a bite, that bouncy, chewy texture was just ahh ✨ ![Sashimi from the Bunko Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-20-ybxvb-966.webp) And cheers with beer •• 🍻 ![Bunko Set and beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-21-12vdx-966.webp) Just as we were finishing the first round of food,,, the remaining two dishes came out!!

It might not sound familiar ㅠ!!! But I really recommend trying it ✨💕 It was rich and clean-tasting without being heavy, and I especially want to recommend it to anyone bored of standard tomato or rosé pasta! ![Rich yet light crab tomalley pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-23-zc7zx-966.webp) Lastly, jjamppong!!!!! Ahh, isn’t this basically the hangover-cure stage,,,, Sipping that spicy jjamppong broth near the end made the day absolutely perfect 👏🏻 How about it as a Suyu Station date bar that has both value + atmosphere,, or as a great spot for a blind date,, ➰ ![Jjamppong at Bunko Suyu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date-24-kjpkb-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Bunko Suyu (분코 수유점) (분코 수유점) - 2F Bunko, 34-4 Dobong-ro 87-gil, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강북구 도봉로87길 34-4 2층 분코 - 37.6392, 127.0241251 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%84%EC%BD%94%20%EC%88%98%EC%9C%A0%EC%A0%90/@37.6392,127.0241251,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@midnight-coaster/suyu-bunko-sashimi-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
