Obongzip Brings Korean Flavors to Japan

Obongzip, the popular dining chain from South Korea, has made a splash in Japan with the opening of its first location in Kanda. Known for its home-style dishes that evoke the warmth of a mother's cooking, Obongzip has gained popularity since its launch in Korea in 2020. With 300 outlets already operational in Korea, the brand has seen a significant rise in social media buzz and media attention. The new Kanda outlet is now introducing its first Japan-exclusive menu options.

Exclusive Courses That Delight

At the Kanda location, diners can explore two specially crafted courses, the Obongzip Premium Course and the Obongzip Enjoyment Course, featuring fan-favorites that highlight the essence of Korean cuisine. Each course comes loaded with the restaurant's signature Obong Special, which includes several delectable dishes:

• - Obong Special (Grilled Nakji Stir-fry, Pork Belly, and Makkuksu)
• - Seafood Chijimi
• - Japchae
• - Natte-se
• - Sanchu
• - Rice
• - Vanilla Ice Cream

The Premium Course includes a full nine items, while the Enjoyment Course features seven, both offering a hearty dining experience complete with a refreshing Somaek Tower (a bomb shot set) to toast to an enjoyable meal. This setup ensures that guests receive exceptional value along with the unique flavors of Obongzip.

New Dishes and Seasonal Offerings

In addition to the courses, the Kanda store is also unveiling new items—including the Kochujang Jjigae, a Korean stew rich with the deep flavors of gochujang, pork, fresh vegetables, and tofu. This comforting dish balances spiciness with a hint of sweetness, making it a fantastic choice for any time of year. The depth of flavor is sure to satisfy the palate, inviting diners to relish every bite.

Expanding its offerings further, Obongzip Kanda is elevating its lunch menu with a diverse array of choices, perfect for those on a lunch break or seeking quality meals with generous servings. The introduction of newly varied options means diners can select meals that suit their moods or preferences.

Dishes like the Korean-style Clam Hot Pot and the Clam Kalguksu (a hand-made noodle soup) are also set to debut soon. Featuring a hearty and flavorful broth with plenty of clams, the hot pot promises to warm patrons from the inside out. Meanwhile, the Kalguksu provides an excellent complement to the clam's flavor, enveloping the noodles in a luscious broth.

Commitment to Excellence

Obongzip continues to focus on developing appealing dishes that allow customers to enjoy traditional Korean home-cooked flavors conveniently. With every dish crafted to celebrate warmth and taste, the Kanda location promises to deliver an authentic experience reminiscent of Korean culinary traditions.
