Sushi Omakase

3.5

at Tairyo

-Jayang, Gwangjin, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with MtG and KIT

Tairyo is a Japanese restaurant.  Offers only nigirizushi omakase.  2 services at lunch, 2 services at dinner, by reservation only.

Located in East Pole Mall, level 2.
Max seating capacity of 13 pax per service.
7 types of fish.
For starters…
Nago Pineapple Winery Pineapple Sparkling Wine – Summer Snow (3.5): exceptional, especially as paired with sushi.

The food was excellent.  Thoughtfully conceived (albeit nothing particularly mind-blowing), expertly crafted, pristinely fresh, delicious.  The featured dish of this post comprised aburi scallop + aburi uni + rice, wrapped in seaweed – superbly balanced in taste and texture.  Lost count of how many courses, forgot to photograph them all.  50,000 per person (both lunch/dinner) seems absurdly cheap in light of the quality, though it wasn’t a fully rounded a meal (see for comparison 16.191 A True Omakase), leaving me kinda hungry by the end of it.

Hyeongjae Ae (Brotherly) is a Korean-Chinese restaurant.  Sorta modernized versions of classic dishes.

Located 287 m from East Pole Mall.

Apparently, we were all still kinda hungry.

The food was fine.
