When our ordered '2-person Set A' was set down, the visuals were seriously dramatic. Tonkatsu, karaage, fried udon, and mianbaoxia (shrimp toast) filled the table — my eyes feasted first.

### Upgraded to the mega karaage set (+₩7,000)

We added ₩7,000 to switch to the 'mega karaage set,' and the fried chicken came out piled up like a mountain — the portion size was on another level.

### Rice swapped for nekomamma (+₩1,500)

Instead of regular rice, we paid an extra ₩1,500 to swap it for nekomamma, Japanese-style butter soy-sauce egg rice. It arrived in an adorable little bowl that matched the restaurant's interior so well I ended up taking a ton of photos. The whole table full of fried dishes had such an authentic Japanese feel, blending perfectly with the cute Japanese props filling the shop, that I honestly got confused about whether I was in Gwangalli or Dotonbori.

It was more than enough as a lunch spot near Geumnyeonsan Station to step outside ordinary life and experience Japanese food culture in an unusual atmosphere.

## Q&A

A lot of nearby government office workers and tourists come by, giving it a lively local-diner feel. Everyone seems to unwind amid the cute props while eating.

### Any tips for ordering the set menu?

The 2-person set has such a varied lineup that it's fun to customize it! Bump the karaage up to mega size or swap the rice for nekomamma, and you'll end up with a much more photogenic, atmospheric spread.
