Korean Nabe - Ultra Spice

February 8, 2006 on 12:32 am | In Food | | Email This Post

The station “Shin-Okubo” near Shinjuku in Tokyo has an unusually high number of Korean food and variety shops around. They even have a Shin-Okubo Korean Food shop map! If you want to get a taste of Korea in Japan, this is the place to go. The restaraunt name is ONDORU.
Possibly the most famous korean food is Kimchee, the most famous variety being the spicy, vegetable variety, I believe it’s cabbage based? In reality though, there are many many different types of Kimchee around.

Anyway… Kimchee is spicy.

But this Kimchee Nabe is so hot, Frodo could have melted the One Ring in it. I kid you not.

Could you imagine the pain if some of this splashed in your eye?!

This dish is called Chijimi, I think. I can’t cook, and know little about food… But I think that this is something like Japanese okonomiyaki, with a lot more green onions. It tastes yum.
If you’re in Tokyo and looking for some authentic Korean food, give Ondoru a try!

    Just don’t go alone…Shin-Okubo is not the kind of area you want to be walking around in at night without some backup.

    Fixed the typo thanks dolseni!

    joepet! As for ShinOkubo being dangerous, I’m still viewing Japan with rose colored glasses and am sure that I’ll never meet with theft or some other violent crime! I’ve got a related post coming up soon actually…

    I like Kimchee too Allison! I had some recently in Korea though that was so spicy it was painful. OUCH!
