About

Japanese-style izakaya near Kyung Hee University, known for homemade seafood okonomiyaki decorated with character faces and a varied yakitori menu.

At 하마루 회기점, the evening seems to gather around the grill: skewers to share, a bubbling pot at the table, and a drink close at hand. The Japanese-style izakaya has both counter seats and tables, giving it room for a date or a meal with friends. Décor details include Japanese-themed pictures and anime figures, while the menu ranges from yakitori and teppan dishes to nabe, yakisoba, and okonomiyaki. The house-made seafood okonomiyaki is the dish that asks for a pause before the first bite. It arrives decorated with a cartoon face—Shin-chan in one account—and layers of sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. The handmade batter is described as soft; the topping brings a savory, lightly salty richness, with crisp and tender textures together. It takes a little time to arrive, but the presentation makes the wait part of the occasion. For something warming, Kansai oden hot pot comes with assorted fish cakes and mushrooms. One visitor added udon and rice, then let the noodles simmer in the broth; the soup was pleasantly seasoned, and the fish cake was notably tender. The five-skewer yakitori omakase makes a good counterpoint: reports describe a gentle charcoal-like aroma, browned exteriors, and enough bite left in the ingredients. It is an easy match for a highball. Drinks extend beyond beer to Japanese spirits, sake by the glass or bottle, and highballs. Yuzu is described as bright and sweet, Earl Grey as fragrant and sweet; one account notes that the Earl Grey highball can be ordered non-alcoholic. Cabbage arrives as a simple starter, with shichimi on the table. The mood is convivial rather than hushed: a place to photograph the playful okonomiyaki, pass skewers around, and settle in over a hot pot. For a table that wants both a little theatre and substantial food, 하마루 회기점 offers several ways to make an evening of it.
