Congdu, Neo-Korean food restaurant (콩두 大韓民国), Seoul, South Korea
The restaurant is located in the very quiet area next to the Embassy of United State of America in Seoul. This was built in the small forest and faced to the pond. The building was used by the King's grandmother of last Choson king.
I visited here on the mid-summer evening. The cool and dry winds after getting dark passed through the building. The dry wind with remaining afternoon hot sunshine reminded me I was in the continent. I went through the corridor with white wall and focused righted. It was the mid-summer night though the roof was moved and it was made the outdoor atmosphere. The hot out air came into the dinning room, but was much cooler than that of the noon.
The building has white wall and beautiful dark brown floor. The dining room has view of some sky sclaper in Seoul city centre.
Each course was very nice and well portion. The course was arranged traditional Korean palace food like Japanese full course style. I have never heard like this Koeran food course. A lot of Korean restaurant will serve all course on one table on one time.
It was started with the yukhoe (Korean tar tare).
The warm Chepziae was also nice, very tasty, not so spicy, I suspected the dishes were arranged for the Western persons.
The Karasumi was Okay. If you want this fish eggs, you must taste it in Nagasaki or Tokyo, Japan. Kiyokawa in Nagasaki or Sasaki in Tokyo serve very lovely, golden and tasteful Karasumi.
I have no idea that the traditional Korean food is the course style. The movie or the old books show a lot of dishes on one table poshly desplayed. I sometime disappointed that the first beautiful looks of the dishes in Korean foods were changed to the Bibimpa like tasty but dirty looking. But you will enjoy the very nice views of the dishes like my photo as shown.
I will go again when I am nervous in the Korean Bibimpa-ed(shaken and steered) food.
When I left from the restaurant, the beautriful lady owner who was small stature with white hair had greeted and seen me off at the entrance.

The shrimp was come from the sea near Takeshima, but the staff only said "Shrimp." This was nice beyond the border problem between Japan and Korea, baked on the burned stone in the wood pot. The smell was like the sea.

Bistro Seoul, modern Korean food, Gangnam, Seoul
The Korean bistro
This bistro was located in the hotel near COEX airport bus centre. The atmosphere is modern northeastern Asia. The stelves separate the tables. A lot of porcelains are displayed on the stelves.
The client will choose from the course or a la carte. I chose the course. They served low chili dishes. Each dishes are very tasty with seashell or something DASHI like Japanese WASHOKU but added little bit spicy and hot chili on that. Very tiny chili and other herbal plants, NATSUME OUGI or Annis, were make the dishes deeply UMAMI on the natural tastes. This taste was complicated for Japanese, they have very simple but deep tongue.
All dishes are very nice but there are nothing memorable.
The water Kimchi was very delicious for Japanese.
