About
Casual raw fish spot near Guui Station known for tender aged sashimi sets served with sides like shrimp tempura and spicy fish stew.
A short walk from Guui Station along Achasan-ro, Park Gwajang’s Joeun Hoesa (박과장의조은회사) operates in a quiet, modern arcade setting, catering to locals who prefer patiently aged fish over the snappy chew of live sashimi. The space is clean and unpretentious, lined with long tables adaptable for group dinners and gatherings centered around soju or BYO sake, for which the kitchen readily provides ice buckets and decanters. The kitchen builds its reputation on seasonal *sukseonghoe* (aged raw fish). Slices of flounder, sea bream, salmon, and seasonal cuts like rockfish or winter yellowtail spend time curing to break down muscle fibers, yielding a supple, buttery bite with dense umami. The rich fat of aged flounder fin requires nothing more than a dot of wasabi, while cuts of white fish marry naturally with the house-provided rinsed *mukeunji* (aged kimchi), perilla leaves, and savory *makjang* (seasoned soybean paste). Alongside the seafood, diners receive sushi rice, water parsley salad, and bowls of warm vegetable porridge or sea mustard soup to coat the stomach before drinks begin. Ordering the assorted sashimi sets turns the meal into a paced procession. Plump, crisp-battered fried shrimp arrive hot from the fryer, followed by plates of nigiri. For the finish, tables choose between a deeply comforting seafood ramyeon or a clean, fiery *maeuntang* (spicy fish stew) simmered without heavy prickly ash powder, relying instead on clean broth and chili heat to cut through the richness of the fish. During the colder months, the restaurant draws lines specifically for thick-cut platters of aged *daebangeo* (winter yellowtail). With its focus on precise aging and a structured set menu rather than unnecessary side-dish clutter, this Gwangjin-gu hub remains a dependable sanctuary for those who value depth of flavor in their sashimi.
