About

A Michelin-listed Japanese seafood spot on the Dongbaek and Haeundae side. It is better for a planned sashimi meal than for a casual market-style dinner.

The strength is clean fish, sake-friendly pacing, and a quieter table. It suits a date, a small group, or visitors who want Japanese seafood in Busan.

Parking is part of the visit plan, but peak seafood hours can still make the lot tight. For course meals, natural fish, or group tables, booking ahead is the smarter move. Easy to fold into a walk around the neighbourhood, so it need not be a trip across the city.

The menu to know: Lunch KRW 80,000 · Dinner KRW 120,000 · Corkage KRW 30,000. Items and prices shift through the year, so read the board on the day.
