[Yabacho] A Must-try Kimchi Jjigae at the Popular Korean Bulgogi Restaurant "Semaul Shokudo Nagoya Sakae Branch"! 

Semaul Shokudo is a Korean restaurant chain located in Yabacho, Nagoya. It is a very popular Korean restaurant since it arrived in Nagoya in 2022, as it is reasonably priced and serves authentic Korean food.

So this time, we will introduce the popular menu items at Semaul Shokudo.

What is Semaul Shokudo?

Semaul Shokudo was founded in 2002 by popular food expert Baek Jong-won and is an extremely popular restaurant that has become a huge hit in Korea.

Baek Jong-won is loved as the father of Korean cuisine, and it is said that anything he says is delicious always goes viral.

The brand has over 200 stores in its home country and is popular with many people.

Semaul Shokudo is located a one-minute walk from Yabacho Station Exit 4. It is located in an alley south of Parco.

The pink frog is the landmark.

The restaurant is open nonstop from 11:00 to 22:00, so even if you miss lunch, you can still get a meal.

Fast food-like atmosphere makes you easy to enter.

The signature menu items are "Yoltang Bulgogi" and "7-Minute Pork Kimchi Jjigae," made with authentic aged kimchi.

Even if it's your first time, you can't go wrong by ordering these two items.

When you take your seat, you will find a red apron on your chair to protect you from getting dirty.

"Saemaul Restaurant"'s signature dish "Yoltang Bulgogi"

Of course, Editorial Team staff also ordered the "Yeoltan Bulgogi" and the "7-Minute Pork Kimchi Jjigae." All meat dishes are available for two or more people.

Orders are placed via QR code, and after a while a waiter will bring you a set of soup, sauce, pajoli (green onion salad), and sunny lettuce.

This is "Yeoltan Bulgogi." Pork is thinly sliced so it's easy to eat, and is served with a special sweet and spicy sauce.

This is Semaul Shokudo's signature dish, grilled over charcoal for a fragrant and spicy flavor.

The staff will carefully grill all the meat for you.

It's sliced thinly so it cooks up in no time.

It is brought to you immediately after ordering, so you can eat quickly even during busy lunch hours.

Another nice thing about this restaurant is that they offer set meals until 3pm.

The grilled meat is delicious as is, but it tastes even better when wrapped in vegetables.

Wrap the bulgogi and green onion salad on a bed of sunny lettuce and chew it all up at once. The combination of this green onion salad and bulgogi is irresistible.

You can't help but smile and say, "It's delicious!"

Ready in 7 minutes! "7-Minute Pork Kimchi Jjigae"

Another signature dish is the 7-minute pork kimchi jjigae, which is made by simmering finely chopped, thickly sliced pork and aged kimchi in a pot.

Back when Saemaul Shokudo didn't exist in Japan, eating kimchi jjigae was one of the joys of traveling to Korea.

Once the pork kimchi jjigae is ready, serve it with a generous amount of Korean seaweed on rice.

The key to enjoying this dish is to add plenty of pork kimchi and seaweed. After that, just mix it! The more you mix it, the tastier it becomes.

It is the most blissful moment when you have bulgogi with pork kimchi jjigae in one hand. This kimchi jjigae is only available at Semaul Shokudo, so sometimes I go there alone because I have an irresistible craving for it.

This time we introduced Semaul Shokudo!

Please come and enjoy authentic Korean cuisine.
