â–²Testimonial (Shikigin Tongni-chan): I ate squid gimbap and spicy anchovy gimbap because squid gimbap is famous. I heard that it's spicy, but it was really spicy. I like spicy things, so even though I like to eat it, it was really spicy! Compared to that, spicy anchovy gimbap is more spicy than spicy. Compared to the expensive price of premium gimbap these days, the price was cheap and taste~ But it was more normal than I expected, and I don't think it's enough to stand in line to eat it.
