After a baseball date, the writer reserved counter seats, received a welcome glass of red wine, and ordered nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) sushi at 2 pieces for 12,000 won, sake-steamed clams and scallops for 35,000 won, a Sauvignon Blanc house wine and matcha ice cream crumble. Ichigo's clean, upscale atmosphere makes it a good Jamsil izakaya for a drink after a baseball game. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 6-7 Baekjegobun-ro 11-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul (near Jamsil Sports Complex) - **Sake-steamed clams and scallops**: ₩35,000 - **Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) sushi, 2 pieces**: ₩12,000 - **Matcha ice cream crumble**: ₩4,000 - **House wine**: ₩11,000 (white is a Sauvignon Blanc) - **Seating**: Counter seats set up with a reservation - **Complimentary**: A glass of red wine as an aperitif after being seated - **Price reference**: ₩35,000 ≈ $26 · ₩12,000 ≈ $9 · ₩4,000 ≈ $3 (2026-11-14) *as written by the visitor on Apr 21, 2026 · not checked with the business* I recently found an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) in Jamsil with a really great atmosphere and had to share it right away!! I came across it by chance while looking for somewhere with a nice mood in Jamsil, and after going I understood right away why it's popular >< The location is especially good for after a Sports Complex date or a baseball date, which made me even happier with it. The place I'm introducing today is Ichigo, which I'd recommend as a great izakaya in Jamsil. ![Exterior of Ichigo, an izakaya in Jamsil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-01-15v0u-m-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Ichigo in Jamsil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-02-du3fj-900.webp) ![Ichigo's clean, upscale interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-03-2kd2n-900.webp) ![Overview of the interior of Ichigo, a Jamsil izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-04-ctkpv-900.webp) ## What are the atmosphere and seating like at Ichigo in Jamsil? Ichigo is a clean, upscale izakaya in Jamsil. If you reserve, they set you up at the dacchi-seok (chef's counter seats), and as soon as we sat down we were given a glass of red wine as a welcome drink. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean and upscale the interior is. The mood is much more put-together than a typical izakaya, so I thought it would work well as a date spot too. We reserved in advance, and thanks to that they set up the counter seats nicely for us. The counter has its own atmosphere, you can watch the chef cook, and waiting for the food never felt boring. ![Ichigo's counter seats set up after reservation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-05-42fdu-900.webp) Right after we sat down they served a glass of red wine as a welcome drink, and even a small touch like that made the place feel even nicer. If you're looking for a good izakaya in Jamsil, I think details like this will feel quite satisfying. ![Red wine served as a welcome drink at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-06-s9j5b-900.webp) ## Is it a good stop after a baseball date at the Sports Complex? Ichigo is near the Sports Complex, so it's a perfect place to stop by after watching a baseball game. The mood is great for having a light drink and chatting after a baseball date, so it looked really good for couples too. It's a quiet space with atmosphere, so I think it would be very satisfying as part of a Sports Complex date course. ![Space inside Ichigo, an izakaya near the Sports Complex](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-07-76msf-900.webp) ![Inside Ichigo in Jamsil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-08-1nfcm-900.webp) ![Photo of Ichigo's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-09-1wepf-900.webp) ![Menu selection at Ichigo, a Jamsil izakaya](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-10-1pxrp-900.webp) ![Photo of Ichigo's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-11-1z00v-900.webp) ![Menu guide at Ichigo in Jamsil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-12-qwgo3-900.webp) ![Photo of the menu items ordered at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-13-qh4hu-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Ichigo, and the prices We ordered four things at Ichigo that day. Overall the menu felt simple but high in quality. - Clam and scallop sake steam ₩35,000 - Golden tilefish sushi, 2 pieces ₩12,000 - Matcha ice cream crumble ₩4,000 - House wine ₩11,000 ![The table spread of dishes ordered at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-14-1lenn-900.webp) ### Golden tilefish sushi (2 pieces): luxurious and melts in your mouth The first dish that impressed me was the golden tilefish sushi, 2 pieces (₩12,000). It looked luxurious from the first glance. The golden tilefish comes with just the surface lightly torched, so the top is gently grilled and the aroma is really good. One bite and the nutty flavor of golden tilefish fills your mouth while the flesh melts so softly. ![Two pieces of golden tilefish sushi with a torched surface](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-15-14lf6-900.webp) No exaggeration, "melts in your mouth" is exactly the right description. The portion isn't big, but the quality is so good that it was plenty satisfying. If you're looking for a good izakaya in Jamsil, I'd really recommend trying the golden tilefish sushi at least once. ![Golden tilefish sushi at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-16-6coev-900.webp) ### House wine with a clean taste For drinks we ordered the house wine (₩11,000). We asked for white, and they served a Sauvignon Blanc. ![A glass of Sauvignon Blanc house wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-17-17d42-900.webp) ![White house wine at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-18-12tkk-900.webp) At the first sip, the fresh, clean taste stood out. It isn't heavy and is easy to drink, so it went well with the food. It especially pairs well with seafood, so it felt just right alongside the sake steam. ### Clam and scallop sake steam, loaded with scallops The main dish of the day was the clam and scallop sake steam (₩35,000). The first thing I noticed when it arrived was how many scallops there were. With this kind of dish the shellfish portion can sometimes be disappointing, but Ichigo's sake steam had generous scallops, which I was happy about. ![Clam and scallop sake steam with generous scallops](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-19-14tgm-900.webp) ![Clam and scallop sake steam at Ichigo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-20-1jgwm-900.webp) I took a spoonful of the broth and a strong butter aroma came up along with a rush of savory depth. The broth was so cool and deep that it felt like a hangover cure while drinking. The scallops were plump and not chewy, with a great texture, and so addictive I kept eating. I thought that having a warm broth dish like this after a baseball date would be really satisfying. ![Scallop sake steam in butter-scented broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-21-trv1r-900.webp) ![Sake steam with plump scallop meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-22-1n8qh-900.webp) ![Broth of Ichigo's clam and scallop sake steam](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-23-2a8fg-900.webp) ### A perfect dessert too: matcha ice cream crumble To finish we ordered the matcha ice cream crumble (₩4,000). This dessert was far more satisfying than I expected. The matcha flavor is strong, so I think matcha lovers will really like it. The crumble stays crisp, and the texture combination with the ice cream was really good. It's sweet but clean, a great way to end the meal, so we finished on a happy note. ![Dessert: matcha ice cream crumble](https://img.superchart.com/images/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo-24-dp9fk-1200.webp) ## Is Ichigo, the Jamsil izakaya, worth recommending? To sum up, Ichigo was satisfying in atmosphere, food quality and service alike. The interior is clean and upscale, so I felt it suits a date really well. If you want a drink somewhere with a nice mood after a Sports Complex date or a baseball date, I think you'll be quite happy here. If you're looking for a good izakaya in Jamsil, it's worth a visit at least once. ## Where it is - Ichigo (이치고) - 6-7 Baekjegobun-ro 11-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 백제고분로11길 6-7 1층 - 37.5074824, 127.0800748 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B9%98%EA%B3%A0/@37.5074824,127.0800748,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-kitchen-window/jamsil-izakaya-baseball-date-ichigo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
