Euljiro second-round pub with creamy-foam Cass draft: Eulsam Hof

Eulsam Hof in Euljiro 3-ga: draft beer that rivals Japan's

Eulsam Hof is a hof (Korean-style beer pub) in Euljiro 3-ga's Hipjiro area. I stumbled in during the Hangul Day holiday and it turned into one of those gem-like spots I'll remember. Lately so many people around me go to Japan and come back raving about the cold, smooth draft beer.

Every time I saw that soft foam on my screen, I swallowed hard thinking, "Ugh, I want to book a flight right now..." But thanks to this trip to Eulsam Hof, all that envy got washed away in one go. So where is it exactly?

It's Eulsam Hof in Euljiro 3-ga, where the Hipjiro vibe is alive and well! ✨

Is the Cass draft beer at Eulsam Hof really different?

The Cass draft at Eulsam Hof was so smooth I wondered if it was really the Cass I knew. We grabbed a seat and ordered Cass draft just to wet our throats.

Honestly, we all think of Cass as the popular, refreshingly crisp beer, right? I took my first sip without expecting much. But no joke, the moment it hit my mouth my eyes went wide! 😲

How can a beer be this smooth? I couldn't believe it was the same Cass. It was so much better than I expected, way beyond what I imagined.

The foam filling the glass was so dense and creamy that I couldn't help exclaiming with every smooth swallow. In that moment it hit me: there's no need to buy an expensive plane ticket to Japan just for draft beer.

If you're a beer fan, come to Eulsam Hof and feel that first swallow for yourself.

Are Eulsam Hof's snacks light enough for a second round?

The anju (food eaten with drinks) at Eulsam Hof is mostly light, easy-to-pick-at dishes rather than heavy meals, so it's perfect for a second round. With beer this good, of course your eyes drift to the snacks too, right?

Eulsam Hof isn't full of heavy, belly-filling dishes; the menu is made up of light snacks that are easy to pick at.

I was already full from meat and a hearty dinner at the first stop, but these light snacks brought out even more of the beer's flavor, so my chopsticks kept going. They're easy to eat without any pressure, which made it a perfect second-round course.
