It's not that I haven't been to good restaurants lately, but I'm not great at describing flavors, nor do I take fancy photos that make your mouth water. Sometimes I wasn't even sure if the food was actually good, so I just ate. But I found such a great place recently that it sparked my motivation to write again.

First of all, the thickness of the salmon sashimi is satisfying, and secondly, the price is great. The only downside is that it's hard to get to. There's no subway station nearby, and it's not on a main road either.
If you search on Naver Maps, two locations pop up. The first one points inside the Samho Mulsan building. That's not it, so just gently ignore it and keep walking south.When you see a restaurant called 'Sohojeong', turn right, and then take a left at the very first alley you see.Then you'll see a sign that says 'Win Win Center' on a building that makes you tilt your head and wonder, "Is this really a famous restaurant?" It's on the second floor of this building.The table setting looks roughly like this. It doesn't look like much, but it actually has everything you need. You can get unlimited refills, but every time I come, the servers are always so frantic with group customers that I just end up doing self-service. It would be fine if the table setting was free, but since it's 3,000 KRW per person, it feels a bit iffy.The whiteboard with the menu. The halibut seems averagely priced, and I don't even know the price for the abalone.This is 1kg. The price is 38,000 KRW.The grilled salmon head we ordered when we were almost done with the 1kg. It's 3,000 KRW. It doesn't look like there's much to eat, but it's surprisingly a delicacy and there's actually quite a bit to pick at.We ordered 500g for someone who arrived late. It's not relatively more expensive just because it's 500g. It's exactly half the price at 19,000 KRW.
I just snapped these roughly with my iPhone and jotted this down, but the price is truly the best. Aside from buying salmon at Costco and slicing it myself, this is the first time I've been moved by the price of salmon. I'm not sure if it's cheap because running a sashimi restaurant on the second floor isn't their main business and they're actually a company that supplies goods to other retailers, but it's the best place to eat salmon to relieve stress.
They do sell wine, but corkage isn't allowed. It's probably best to call and check before bringing your own alcohol.
