Free-corkage izakaya near Konkuk University Station, Seoul: Ito
Ito is an aged seasonal sashimi izakaya on the basement level in Gwangjin, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Konkuk University Station Exit 2. Five diners ordered the mixed sashimi platter with one extra portion (15,000 won) plus mille-feuille nabe, and the sashimi ran from red seabream and salmon to abalone and monkfish liver, with a rich hot pot broth. Corkage at Ito is free as long as you order a drink from the menu, and small to medium dogs are welcome, so it suits groups who bring their own bottles.
