Samgakji izakaya with steamed clams and Seoul-eui-bam: Hatpiendo
Hatpiendo is an izakaya with floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the E-mart24 building on Yongridan-gil, 3 minutes from Exit 3 of Samgakji Station in Yongsan, Seoul. On a spur-of-the-moment after-work meetup, the writer and a colleague ordered aged kimchi sashimi with salt gimbap (33,000 won), steamed clams in liquor (24,000 won) and seafood jjamppong ramyeon (17,000 won) with a Seoul-eui-bam set (27,000 won), then added a second bottle. At Hatpiendo the food keeps calling for another round, which made it an ideal last-minute drinking spot.
