Hyonbu Shokudo / 兄夫食堂 （ひょうんぶしょくどう）

 When my friend, the American Tourist was visiting Japan, we decided to take him out for some Korean cuisine (after all, he would be heading to Korea next).  Instead of going to Shin Okubo, Tokyo's Korea Town, we went to a place called [Hyonbu Shokudo] in Shibuya.  Mikako and one of her friends had dined here on a previous occasion.  It appears that this is the sister store, the main shop being located in Akasaka.

アメリカから友達が日本に遊びに来た時、夕飯は渋谷にある韓国料理店「兄夫食堂」に連れてあげた。彼が次の旅先が韓国なので、ここに決定しました。新大久保も良いんですが、嫁が以前友達と一緒この店が来たことがあり、僕も気になってた。本店が赤坂にあるらしい。

My half-Korean friend informed me that the assortment of kimchi and salad served before the main meal is called bahn chahn.

韓国人のハフの友達がこの最初に出るキムチとサラダなどは韓国語で“バンチャン” というそうです。

The kimchi here was delicious!

この店のキムチはめちゃ美味しかった！


And now for some of the main dishes:

そして今夜のメイン：

Bulgogi of course!!

もちろんブルゴギ！！

And seafood chijimi  (often described as Korean-style pancakes, similar to the Japanese okonomiyaki).

そして海鮮チヂミ。

And toppoki!  (I was later informed by the American Tourist's Korean friend that since this dish includes ramen noodles in it, the correct name would be rappoki).

あとは定番のトッポキ。（韓国人の方に教えてもらいましたが、このトッポキに麺も入ってるから正しくはラッポキだそうです。）


Bon Appetit!

いただきます！
