You can enjoy Korean gourmet trends in Harajuku!

The biggest attraction of OKUDO DINNING&CAFE is that you can enjoy unique Korean-style menus that are rarely seen in Japan. Of particular note are the following points.

• The fun of being able to cook Korean instant noodles lined up on the wall by yourself on the spot.
• Authentic Korean dishes such as hearty kimpas
• Colorful, crunchy cookies that look just like ice cream

The bright, pop-colored atmosphere inside the restaurant and the Instagram-worthy menu items will make you feel excited just by visiting.

I actually ate! Instant noodles and kimbap set

On this day, I chose the Instant Noodles and Kimbap Set.

Korean instant noodles are available for purchase at the cashier after selecting your favorite product from a wall of products. You receive a special cup and cook it yourself.

The cooking method is a simple and enjoyable process!

Put the noodles in the special cup and set it in the cooker.

Press the button and hot water is automatically poured and a timer is activated.

When the time is up, remove the cup, add liquid soup and toppings, and you are done!

The appeal of this product is that you can enjoy the unique taste of Korea, the home of bagged ramen, customized to your own taste.

Kimbap is filled with plenty of ingredients and is very satisfying. You can enjoy the color and flavor typical of Korean cuisine. The satisfaction is even greater when served as a set!
