Sangsu Japanese restaurant: eel ochazuke after a nail session, Ochaya

Ochaya is an ochazuke (rice with poured broth) restaurant on the second floor near Sangsu Station in Mapo, Seoul. After a 4-hour nail appointment, the writer came for a first meal at 5 p.m. and ordered the unagi chazuke topped with a whole eel, eating it as a rice bowl first and pouring in the broth halfway through. Ochaya's unagi chazuke was so good it was gone in 10 minutes, and the big eel and neatly arranged tray stand out.
