I stopped by for a second round and had the ₩15,000 five-skewer set, ₩11,000 grilled mentaiko, and ₩4,500 eggplant tsukune. Visit before it fills up for solo drinks or a group night out. ## Good to know - **Five-skewer set**: ₩15,000 - **Grilled mentaiko**: ₩11,000 - **Eggplant tsukune**: ₩4,500 - **Seating**: Counter and tables - **Seats during visit**: Full around 8 PM; counter and table seats available around 10 PM *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## A bar-style izakaya near Oncheonjang Station Today, I’m sharing my visit to Oneul-ui Tokyo (오늘의도쿄), a bar-style izakaya near Oncheonjang Station where you can enjoy a solo drink. ![Bar-style izakaya near Oncheonjang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-01-daeiz-900.webp) ![Visiting Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-02-1pvcr-900.webp) ![Interior of an Oncheonjang izakaya for solo drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-03-1daxv-900.webp) I’d kept my eye on this place while going back and forth to my sibling’s house. After having a drink with a friend, I still wanted a little more before heading home, so we stopped in. The atmosphere is just perfect for drinking alone in Oncheonjang—it’s crazy good~ ![Exterior of Oneul-ui Tokyo Oncheonjang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-04-4vemr-900.webp) It’s close to Oncheonjang Station, so it’s easy to find. It’s already well known, so it tends to be full around 8 PM. I visited at 10 PM, though, and there were seats at both the counter and tables. ![Izakaya counter and table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-05-1tp6l-900.webp) ![Oncheonjang izakaya menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-06-vyrb7-900.webp) ## Skewers and sake at the counter The prices are reasonable, so it’s great for ordering lots of different things. It would also be nice for a light second stop. We settled in, ordered skewers, and got ready to enjoy ourselves. They drizzled sauce over crisp cabbage, and the cabbage’s own sweetness really got my appetite going. ![Crisp cabbage with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-07-1uedm-900.webp) I sat at the counter and watched them grill the skewers. I was keeping an eye on whether they were grilling them deliciously or not 👀 ![Skewers grilling at the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-08-15fl9-900.webp) Even looking at the ingredients before grilling, they seemed fresh. I’ve often seen notices saying ingredients had sold out, so I trusted the freshness of the skewers. ![Skewer ingredients before grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-09-11h5s-900.webp) Ahh, all of that is what I ordered. I got a glass of sake before the skewers came out! I’ve quietly become addicted to sake, one of Japan’s signature liquors, lately. I’m even going to buy loads of sake when I travel to Tsushima next week. > Five-skewer set (₩15,000) They were called negima, hatsu, nankotsu, and seseri… I don’t really know, haha. Chicken skin, breast, gingko nuts, hearts… hehe. Anyway, it’s four kinds of chicken plus grilled garlic or gingko nuts. Ahh, charcoal-grilled skewers over an open flame that go down one after another without getting tiresome. There’s nothing better for a solo drink. They’re good to share, but I like eating them alone even more 😁 ![Sake and a five-skewer charcoal-grilled set](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-10-1v3ja-900.webp) ![Open-flame charcoal-grilled chicken skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-11-1huzc-900.webp) ![Charcoal skewers ordered as snacks for a solo drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-12-zkrtf-900.webp) The chicken was grilled without any off smell and, as I mentioned earlier, was fresh. I highly recommend it as an Oncheonjang izakaya for solo drinks. ![Chicken skewers grilled without any off smell](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-13-1yk0h-900.webp) ![Chicken breast and chicken heart skewers](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-14-i1emj-900.webp) The chicken breast had a soft, cartilage-like bit of bone to chew on, and I loved that texture. They were out of chicken neck that day, so this was substituted instead, and it was a genius move. I’d happily order it on its own next time 🤣 Chicken hearts—not gizzards—were really delicious too. ![Chewy chicken heart skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-15-1jxhk-900.webp) ![Chicken skewers enjoyed with a solo drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-16-15x8b-900.webp) The chewy, nutty chicken hearts were such a perfect drinking snack too. Since these are seriously tasty bar bites, I recommend visiting before it fills up if you’re looking for an izakaya nearby for a solo drink or a gathering. ![Chewy, nutty skewers as drinking snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-17-vhpws-900.webp) The salty, pleasantly bitter grilled gingko nuts were good good, too. ![Salty, pleasantly bitter grilled gingko nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-18-1mmnw-900.webp) Every skewer was cooked just right, so yes, this really is a great izakaya near Oncheonjang Station. Highly recommend it as a bar near Heosimcheong. ## Plump grilled mentaiko with cucumber > Grilled mentaiko (₩11,000) I was craving something salty too, so I ordered grilled mentaiko (seasoned pollock roe). I was surprised when they served such plump roe. If you love mentaiko, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the portion. Mayonnaise, wasabi, mentaiko, and cucumber—one plate full of things that work beautifully together. Is it just me, or could you easily finish a bottle of soju with this alone? ![Grilled mentaiko served with cucumber](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-19-oxo4a-900.webp) Eating the crisp, cool cucumber with the salty mentaiko is ridiculously delicious. A sophisticated grown-up drinking snack 😋 ## Eggplant tsukune worth returning for > Eggplant tsukune (₩4,500) Between the tsukune and eggplant tsukune, I chose the eggplant. When I first saw it being grilled, the cut surface of the eggplant was so neat that I wondered whether there was actually no meat inside. ![Eggplant tsukune skewer grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-20-1a3od-900.webp) But… wow! It was an incredibly delicious, satisfying skewer. They served a raw egg alongside it, and dipping it in for that nutty richness was such a treat—I think I need to come back just for this. They hollow out a round piece of eggplant and fill it with minced meat, so you get the nuttiness and the eggplant’s softness all at once. ![Eggplant tsukune with raw egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-21-niaxn-900.webp) It was pure luxury. I absolutely recommend ordering it. ![Eggplant tsukune filled with minced meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-22-qmfen-900.webp) The tender chicken bursts with juices. And just like that, I ate it all. ![Juicy chicken skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-23-e0mzd-900.webp) I definitely cleaned up every last skewer. It felt wasteful to leave the egg yolk, so I considered ordering more tsukune, but I was already completely full for only around ₩40,000, so I’ll retreat here hahaha. I’ll be back 🤣 ![Skewer plate after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo-24-1rlsk-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Oneul-ui Tokyo (오늘의도쿄) Oncheonjang Branch (오늘의도쿄 온천장점) - 106-1 Oncheonjang-ro, Dongnae-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 동래구 온천장로 106-1 1층) - 부산광역시 동래구 온천장로 106-1 1층 - 35.2199835, 129.0848359 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EC%9D%98%EB%8F%84%EC%BF%84%20%EC%98%A8%EC%B2%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@35.2199835,129.0848359,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seaside-dining-room/oncheonjang-izakaya-skewers-tokyo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
