Korean Foods - Tomato


Restaurant Review by S.K.

There is a Korean boom in Japan, so Korean food is popular with many people. The shop I went to with my friend is called Tomato. It's in Shin-Okubo. The shop's atmosphere is like a yakiniku restaurant in Korea. Most of the clerks are Korean, and some customers are Korean, so we can hear the Korean language. People who are interested in Korea enjoy this shop. The clerks can speak Japanese, too. Moreover, I think that you can enjoy seeing Korean music programs here.

We ordered Samgyeopsal and Chige. Most people order Samgyeopsal. This is pork yakiniku like in the picture. We wrap the ingredients in Korean lettuce. The ingredients are pork, kimchi, Korean miso, long green onions and garlic. The kimchi isn't hot when it's grilled.

The clerks grill the pork and kimchi for us, so we just wrap it and eat it. This is very delicious and healthy. Chige means “one pot dish.” The ingredients are tofu, short-neck clams, onions and egg. This is very hot, so I couldn't eat it without rice. But it is very delicious.

We ate these dishes and had one drink. It cost about ¥2500 in all. It was very delicious. This shop has many kinds of chige and topokki, and it's all you can eat for ¥1500. Please try to go to Tomato.
