Aged raw fish and soju at street tables in Magok

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A retro-style raw fish bar three minutes from Balsan Station, with indoor seats and red plastic tables out on the street. The aged sashimi set for two comes with seven kinds of fish, clam soup, and Korean sides for wrapping in perilla leaves.
