How do you eat kaisendon at Makise Hapjeong?

This day I ordered kaisendon and cheese fry. The charm of Makise Hapjeong is that you can pick the seafood you like and turn it into sushi yourself.

You choose the sashimi you want to eat one piece at a time and put it on the rice, so it feels like making your own personal sushi. Deciding which piece to eat first is half the fun, too!

Best of all, the sashimi came in many different kinds. Instead of eating just one type, you can alternate between several, so I never got tired of it until the very last bite. The fish felt fresh, I was happy with it, and it went really well with the rice.

Kaisendon served on koshihikari rice

Makise Hapjeong says it uses koshihikari rice for a soft texture. Taking that much care over the rice made me feel the effort they put into their kaisendon.

If you're hunting for a sushi spot in Hapjeong, this make-it-yourself style could be a different kind of experience. They say it feels special when you assemble it like this, so shall we give it a try? Haha~~~

What to order with kaisendon: honey-dipped cheese fry

The cheese fry I ordered with the kaisendon at Makise Hapjeong is a must too. It's similar to a fried shrimp stuffed full of cheese. Savory cheese inside a crispy coating made it a treat. Honestly, this cheese fry is just like real fried shrimp.

Dipping it in sweet honey made the sweet and savory flavors come together even better. Between bites of the clean-tasting kaisendon, taking a bite of cheese fry makes a great combination.

The mildness of fresh seafood, the savoriness of cheese, and the sweetness of honey! Each has its own charm, so alternating between them was fun. If you're wondering what to have alongside kaisendon, I'd recommend the cheese fry.
