Hiyori-dang (Japanese Restaurant)

This is Hiyori-dang, a Japanese restaurant I used to frequent during my university days. As it's quite well-known by word-of-mouth, it tends to be pretty crowded during lunchtime. It seems like a place that many people consistently return to. Personally, I felt good just from the moment I entered, as the atmosphere right from the entrance was great. The dishes I ordered were Kimchi Katsu Nabe and Tendon. The Kimchi Katsu Nabe was a bit salty for my taste, but the spicy flavor of the kimchi and the crispy pork cutlet blended well, making it delicious. Eating it with the warm soup made for a satisfying meal. And the Tendon was personally impressive. The crispiness of the tempura was truly exceptional. The crunchy texture was perfectly felt with every bite, so I think anyone who loves fried food would enjoy it haha. Since I visited often during university, coming back after a long time brought back not only the taste of the food but also memories from that time, making it feel a bit more special. If you have a reason to visit the area, it's worth stopping by at least once.
