## Why I picked Eosa Chulto Hongdae Branch to end our Hongdae date

To wrap up a Hongdae date with my husband, we headed to Eosa Chulto Hongdae Branch (어사출또 홍대점), a sashimi restaurant near Hongik Univ. Station. I was really craving raw fish, and Eosa Chulto is a chain full of memories from my twenties, so I didn't hesitate.

Date day with my hubby~ We went from Mapo to Gongdeok to Hongdae, browsed autumn clothes at a shopping mall, poked around prop shops and accessory shops~ and after a stroll along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, we were getting hungry! We wondered what to eat, but I wanted sashimi so badly that we decided to visit this chain, which is full of memories from my twenties!

The result: a generous seasonal sashimi spread, so delicious 😋 plus a spicy, piping-hot fish stew to settle the stomach~ Such a good dinner!!

No drinking for me since we're trying for a baby~ zero cola is enough 🫶 (though of course soju is the truth with sashimi... haha)

## Eosa Chulto's spicy fish stew: packed with fish bones and fiery

The spicy fish stew (maeuntang) included with the medium sashimi platter came out before the sashimi. It was packed with fish bones and trimmings and nice and spicy. Ahh... Eosa Chulto's stew is famous for being good... haha

Back in the day, sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) and ramen noodles were free, and I drank so much soju with this broth haha. Young and reckless with a light wallet, and still insisting on more soju 🤣

Just look at the color of these thick-cut slices..! One piece fills your whole mouth 🎶 While I was happily eating, my husband teased me, "You really love eating things raw." Haha ? "Raw is the best, whatever it is, yep. Eat up." Half-joking banter made it taste even better 🤩
