Kouji Omakase - Introduction
A high-end sushi omakase run by Chef Kouji from a Tokyo Michelin 3-star restaurant, famous for near-impossible reservations. Among the MZ generation, the term "Seu-gang-shin-cheong" (sushi + course registration) was coined due to fierce reservation battles. Reservations are only available by phone on the third Monday of each month at 10 AM, with same-day/next-day cancellation bookings possible via Instagram. Sushi completed with Chef Kouji's delicate touch shows perfect harmony of shari temperature, texture, and neta freshness. Premium ingredients like various tuna cuts, sea urchin, and abalone are used generously, boasting top quality rarely found even in Japan. Dining at the counter while watching the chef's performance is a cultural experience in itself. Despite the 230,000 won price, reservations remain difficult because it delivers unforgettable impressions. A must-visit for anniversaries or special occasions - Seoul's finest omakase.
