Oji Friendly Dining

Oji Pyeonhan Sikdang is a bar-table izakaya in a back alley of Syaarosugil in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, serving Japanese-style anju made with seasonal ingredients alongside sake and liqueurs. Dishes such as yellowtail hoe with sesame sauce and mackerel sushi change slightly with the seasons. The space holds around 10 people at bar seating only, which suits parties of one or two, while groups of three or more must ask in advance. Lines form on weekends and before opening, and seats toward the back sit close to the kitchen passage, making movement awkward.
