Yakitori and red miso nabe by the Express Bus Terminal 🍢 Tanju
Visited 13 Oct 2026 · Tanju (탄주) Yakitori, Express Bus Terminal branch 2
🍢 Yakitori off the grill and a red miso nabe bubbling beside it at Tanju, near Seoul's Express Bus Terminal in Seocho, on 13 October 2026. A place that takes its food seriously — the yakitori and the nabe both tasted properly Japanese.
