About this place
Some evenings call for dropping into a casual spot for a bubbling stew, a few savory small plates, and an unhurried drink. Located in Arakawa 6-chome, Angure Shokudo offers classic Korean home-style cooking in an unpretentious setting. Open from 17:00 in the evening until late into the night, the dining room features both counter and table seating suitable for an effortless evening meal.
A signature order is the "bomb" steamed egg (*gyeran-jjim*), loved for its airy, fluffy texture and ideally suited as a starter. When seeking a heartier soup, diners can choose individual portions of *daegu-tang* (cod hot pot) with its clear broth carrying both gentle spice and rich umami, alongside kimchi hot pot and *budae jjigae* (army stew). Because many soups are prepared as single-serving pots, even solo visitors can enjoy hot soup without hesitation.
The array of drinking snacks is equally generous, including sweet-spicy yangnyeom chicken, savory bulgogi, and crisp chive or kimchi pancakes. Straightforward grilled and stir-fried options—such as Angure grilled gizzards, skewered red shrimp, and sauteed squid—pair naturally with draft beer, highballs, or makgeolli. Depending on appetite, finishing the meal with samgyeopsal or a bowl of Shin Ramyun is another popular move.
With modest, welcoming hospitality from the owner and an unadorned ambiance, it provides a cozy neighborhood venue to settle in over comforting Korean dishes.
