Kitchen Urawa 키친우라와

Down a flight of stairs to basement level 1 on Nangye-ro, a small room decorated with Japanese ornaments, warm lights and quiet music serves Japanese home-style set meals. Chicken nanban, the signature, pairs a crackly coating and moist meat with sweet-and-sour nanban sauce and tartar sauce, and pieces soaked in the sauce taste different from those under a thick layer of tartar. Each set comes with rice, soup and several small side dishes. Sake-don, salmon laid over rice, is the lighter alternative to frying, and a thick-cut tonkatsu set is also on the menu. Seasoning leans slightly sweet rather than spicy, and families who moved away still come back for it.
