Ochazuke solo dining near Hongdae Sangsu Station: Ochaya
Ochaya is a Japanese ochazuke restaurant near Sangsu Station in the Hongdae area of Mapo, Seoul, close to the Red Road by Sangsangmadang. The writer ordered sakechazuke (salmon), butanogakuni (pork belly), and fried shiitake, pouring warm broth over nutrient rice — a familiar soy-based broth unlike the strong green-tea flavor found elsewhere. With solo seats that even have phone holders, it's a great spot for a gentle, satisfying meal.
