“Gappo cuisine” satisfies all five senses with creative cuisine. Kappo cuisine is a genre of Japanese dining that falls between the finest “kaiseki” and the casual “izakaya.” If you interpret the name kappo in kanji, it means “to cut” and “to boil,” meaning “cooking using a knife and fire,” which means “cooking using a knife and fire,” which means “kappo cuisine.” In other words, dishes using recipes with excellent techniques are called kappo cuisine.

In Japan, kappo cuisine refers to high-class cuisine made by a chef with specialized cooking skills, or high-class cuisine where the chef instantly creates food that suits the customer's taste.

A high-end izakaya that specializes in Japanese cuisine. You can enjoy seasonal Japanese cuisine and reasonably priced wine and Japanese sake in a casual and modern Japanese-style atmosphere. The bar table seat close to the kitchen table is popular because you can watch the chef's delicate touch. Other than that, they are divided into table seats, rooms, etc., so it's easy to choose and sit according to the nature of the group. The signature is “Korean beef sukiyaki,” where the tip of a Korean beef is grilled on a sukiyaki iron plate and simmered with a special sauce and vegetables. The “Korean beef unimaki,” which is made by wrapping a sea urchin on the tip of the thigh and finishing it with caviar, is also popular.

A private Japanese style dining sake specialty store. Thanks to the popularity of its head office in Hannam-dong, it established a new location in Cheongdam. The spacious and modern atmosphere is more casual than you might think, so it's a great place to visit comfortably. They offer a variety of Japanese cuisines, such as sashimi, tataki, ready-to-cook yakitori, steak, stewed food, tempura, and hot pot. Dishes made with fresh ingredients are good, but one of the reasons for this place's popularity is the plating, which strikes at a woman's heart like drawing a picture on drawing paper. By cleverly combining configurations and colors, it makes it possible to take a certified shot on its own. A clean meal and a cup of highball will melt away the tiredness of the day.

It is a place where you can find a new Japanese omakase with the concept of “modern Japanese food” by taking advantage of the advantages of kappo cuisine and kaiseki cuisine. As the name of the restaurant “High Seat” suggests, the chef's desire to serve food to “Sang-seok” was captured. Following the hotson, the pastry dish served as an appetizer is the signature of this place. Putting green soybean cheese cream on top of the pastry and putting tomato, basil pesto, and jamon on top, the visual as if you were looking at eclairs is amazing. The pastry captures the salty flavor of the garnish and finishes with a sweet and savory flavor. A hearty course with fresh sashimi, barley miso, soup dishes, grilled food, tempura, and kamameshi is also good.

The plating is so beautiful that it's a waste to dig it up and eat it. Surprisingly, I was surprised that the barley miso was delicious. Again, it is said that there are many people who buy it.

It transforms from traditional casual Japanese dining and presents original Japanese dining using charcoal as the main theme. As the name of the store “Night Sky” suggests, the star-shaped decorations placed all over the store will blow your heart away. The course has a stable composition of otsumami, sashimi, grilled food, tempura, hot pot, sherbet, meal, and dessert, but dinner is a good value for money because alcoholic beverages are essential. The feature is that they didn't miss the performances, such as charcoal grilling in front of their eyes. The signature electric grilled chicken is made by putting a soy sauce-based sauce on top of the chicken, putting brown rice on it, and smoking it on charcoal, and the rich, oily flavor fills the filling.

A Japanese restaurant with easy access located close to Idae Station. When you step into the compact interior, you can see at a glance the kitchen where cooking is done, such as a smoke pot and charcoal grill, making you wonder what kind of dishes will be prepared. The generous composition, which generously uses high-quality ingredients such as hotson, beef tongue, and fried sirloin, is also good. The highlight of the course is “Kansai style grilled eel.” It's a dish that stands out for its crispy skin texture by applying sardine sauce to eel slowly grilled over charcoal right in front of your eyes. It's also a good idea to finish it warm and filling with sukiyaki, which has a rich broth.

I was very excited from the time the hotson came out, but when the smoke and burning were done right in front of my eyes, I was amazed by the flavors of the ingredients that contained the flavor. Sukiyaki and kamameshi were served, and when I finished, I was really full… Thankfully, I'm eating well.
