Waga

Waga is a dodgy-style izakaya in Gangdong-gu that also draws solo drinkers, serving Japanese snacks and aged sashimi. It offers chicken karaage, sweet shrimp, dokkuri, and a range of shochu and sake, and the owner speaks with customers in Japanese. Last order is at 10 p.m., it is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and it does not sell soju; the amount of whiskey in each highball varied by order. It is busy even at 10 p.m., so it does not match expectations of a quiet solo-drinking bar.
