## Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch: aged sashimi by Jongak Station

Suksseong Susan is an aged-sashimi restaurant on Jongak Station's Jeongmulgeori (Youth Street). Jongak has so many good restaurants — aged sashimi places, meat places, you name it — so today I went to Suksseong Susan, known for its delicious aged sashimi platter... haha

It's on the 3rd floor, so I walked up the stairs, and the entrance already felt private — a separated space.

## Why the partitioned 3rd-floor terrace-style seats suit group dinners

Inside Suksseong Susan Jongno Main Branch, the tables are set in separated sections so you feel a sense of privacy. And because it's on the 3rd floor, it feels like a terrace overlooking the Jongak street, with a breeze drifting in — just the vibe for drinking! No wonder this place is famous for group dinners and gatherings; the interior definitely plays a part.

![Complimentary side dishes: boiled beans, tofu salad, and mustard-leaf kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-04-119q0-899.webp)

### The tofu salad served as a complimentary starter

The complimentary side dishes were boiled beans, a tofu salad, and mustard-leaf kimchi. The tofu salad in particular was a great combo — soft tofu with shredded cabbage, sesame dressing, and bonito flakes +_+ It's the kind of thing I'd want to make at home!

## Suksseong Susan menu prices, lunch sets and sides worth adding

For Jongak lunch, from 11am to 2pm, they also sell a kaisendon set / hanwoo yukhoe bibimbap / chicken nanban set..^^

There are lots of tasty menu items with aged sashimi, but even better — the sides to pair with them are perfect!

- Ginger ale set
- Tonic set
- Singha set
- Chodairi rice (vinegared sushi rice)..^^

*Since it's free corkage, you can bring your own drinks and order these sides to enjoy the meal even more. **Chodairi rice, eaten with the aged sashimi, turns into a kaisendon or sushi-like experience — the best~

![Complimentary side dishes arranged on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-07-y7edr-900.webp)

The complimentary side dishes were solid too..^^* Traditional liquors and more // free corkage.

![Drink menu including traditional liquors](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-08-1ia0b-900.webp)

It's a free-corkage bar near Jongak that also stocks traditional liquors, and the prices are reasonable, so I think you can just walk in and order without worrying haha

![A glass of the ordered Kelly beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-09-i72uk-900.webp)

I thought about grabbing sake at the convenience store, but ended up just ordering a Kelly beer at the restaurant — it must have been stored well, because it tasted great!!!

## Aged sashimi set 69,000 won with salt-grilled shrimp and crab cream croquette

We ordered generously: aged sashimi, salt-grilled shrimp, and crab-innard cream croquette. The recommended aged sashimi set was for two!

![Table spread with aged sashimi and salt-grilled shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-10-1wsh2-1200.webp)

The dishes came out one by one, and I tried the aged sashimi first.

![Platter of assorted small aged sashimi with various types](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-11-1l6t6-900.webp)
*Small aged sashimi set ₩69,000*

A wide variety of sashimi arranged evenly on the platter. Since it's aged, the umami of the fish is amazing~ Being able to try many different kinds made it even better, I loved it..ㅎ

*Crab-innard cream croquette ₩19,000*

The warm fried items go perfectly with beer!

*Salt-grilled shrimp ₩35,000*

There seem to be more and more salt-grilled shrimp places these days, and the salt and butter worked so well together here that the salt-grilled shrimp came out great....... ate it up happily haha

![Chodairi rice served alongside the aged sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-16-1jmkb-900.webp)

## Eating the sashimi sushi-style over seasoned vinegar rice

Suksseong Susan's chodairi rice is a side that lets you enjoy the aged sashimi sushi-style. I made salmon sushi with the sashimi and chodairi rice.

Then made sushi with monkfish liver too haha — the fun of picking and choosing +_+ that's the charm of a sashimi platter.

The tuna melts in your mouth too, and it's even better with the wasabi that comes alongside.ㅎㅎ Friendly service, a wide variety, and enjoying a Jongak bar in a private 3rd-floor space — a great aged sashimi spot near Jongak.

There's a fish tank inside the restaurant too, and apparently if you write a receipt review, there's an event where you get a free seafood dish.

## After dinner: weekend events around Gwanghwamun and Cheonggyecheon

This weekend, quite a lot of events were happening around Gwanghwamun and Jongak Station. At Cheonggyecheon, there was a reading event run by a library. Flowing water, calm music, and all kinds of books! Everyone sitting and reading created such a great atmosphere~

![A library-run reading event held along Cheonggyecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-22-i6jpj-900.webp)

At Sejong Center, there was a Samsung Card event going on, and I even got a chair through the Monimo app haha

![Event and performance scene in front of Sejong Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice/jonggak-aged-sashimi-terrace-sushi-rice-23-yu19t-900.webp)

Watched a performance, checked out the event at Gwanghwamun Square... enjoyed aged sashimi and beer at this great Jongak aged sashimi spot, then soaked in the culture nearby in Jongno~ Such a fun time! And delicious too!!
