Yeonnam-dong ochazuke restaurant for pork belly lunch: Ochaya Yeonnam
Ochaya Yeonnam is an ochazuke (rice in tea broth) restaurant in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul, about a five-minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station on the Gyeongui Line. The writer met her husband for a 12:30 lunch after salsa class and ordered pork belly ochazuke and eel ochazuke at the kiosk, then poured the broth over the rice halfway through, which lifted the umami sharply. Ochaya Yeonnam is a place she would return to for a solo meal, a hangover cure or a quick lunch near Hongdae.
