The order here was a single gyukatsu with a 200ml Kirin one-bite draft beer, grilled piece by piece on the tabletop brazier to taste and topped with wasabi, which kept every bite from feeling heavy. For gyukatsu with one light draft beer on the side, Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch is a good match. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 19 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **How to order**: Check the menu via the QR code on the table, then order - **Waiting**: Available through Catch Table - **Ordered on this visit**: Gyukatsu, Kirin one-bite draft beer 200ml *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ## How to reach Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch from Sinnonhyeon Station I wanted something delicious in Sinnonhyeon, so I headed to Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch!!!

After some thought, we decided to focus purely on gyukatsu that day haha. And of course, beer is a must when eating gyukatsu, so we ordered that too🍺 - Gyukatsu - Kirin draft beer 200ml The Kirin draft beer came in a 200ml size, so it was nice to pair lightly with the gyukatsu. ![Table setting at Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-06-10ic1-900.webp) ![Wood-tone interior inside Ichigyu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-07-worv5-900.webp) ![A corner of the restaurant with Japanese-style decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-08-1exup-900.webp) ![Overview of the seating at Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-09-13sl3-900.webp) ## Inside Ichigyu Sinnonhyeon: atmosphere and QR code ordering Walking inside, the place had a strong Japanese vibe. With wood-tone interiors and cute little props scattered around, it felt like stepping into a restaurant in Japan. The overall mood was warm and cozy, so it seemed like a good spot for a date too. Each table had a QR code for checking the menu and ordering. ![Table with QR code ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-10-o39js-1200.webp) ![Cute decorative props displayed inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-11-1lxj6-900.webp) ## Grilling Ichigyu's gyukatsu yourself on the tabletop brazier Finally, the gyukatsu I'd been waiting for arrived~! It comes pre-sliced into easy-to-eat pieces, all set up so you can grill it right in front of you to your liking. The moment the small brazier lit up right after the gyukatsu arrived, I got weirdly excited lol. ![Ichigyu gyukatsu served with a tabletop brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-12-jrqvc-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu sliced into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-13-1ey4h-900.webp) ![A piece of gyukatsu being grilled on the small brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-14-71sd3-900.webp) ![A table of gyukatsu with the brazier lit](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-15-gruzy-900.webp) The outside is fried crisp while the meat inside stays juicy, so you can grill each piece a little at a time to your taste. Personally I found it tastier lightly grilled rather than fully cooked through. The meat itself was tender, and the more I chewed, the more savory it got. The breading wasn't too thick either, which let the meat's flavor come through :) ![Close-up of a juicy gyukatsu cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-16-10mku-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu served with sauce and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-17-ij9x7-900.webp) ### Wasabi over sauce: how to cut the richness of gyukatsu It was tasty dipped in sauce, and also went well with a little wasabi on top. Personally, gyukatsu can get a bit heavy the more you eat, but topping it with wasabi kept it clean and I just kept eating haha. ![Kirin draft beer 200ml ordered alongside the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer-18-1jvdv-900.webp) ## Does a 200ml Kirin draft beer go with gyukatsu? And then there was the Kirin draft beer🍺 we ordered alongside the gyukatsu. At 200ml, the amount wasn't overwhelming — just right for a light single glass. Taking a bite of gyukatsu and a sip of beer made for a pretty great combo. Especially with the gyukatsu grilled warm and the beer served cold, it somehow tasted even better. ## Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch: final verdict Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch was a solid choice when craving gyukatsu near Sinnonhyeon. There's fun in grilling it yourself, and the meat is tender, so anyone who loves gyukatsu should enjoy it here. That day we paired gyukatsu with Kirin draft beer and it was just the right match🍺 If you're in Sinnonhyeon looking for something with a Japanese feel, or just craving gyukatsu, this place is worth a visit~! Grilling the gyukatsu bit by bit right in front of you is oddly fun, so it could make for a good date spot too haha. ## Where it is - Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch (이치규 강남신논현점) - 19 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2nd floor - 서울특별시 강남구 봉은사로4길 19 2층 - 37.5035097, 127.0266393 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B9%98%EA%B7%9C%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%8B%A0%EB%85%BC%ED%98%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5035097,127.0266393,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@suyu-small-mirror/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-gyukatsu-kirin-beer/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
