Tunatori (츠나토리) is a small yakitori and tuna izakaya a short walk north of Konkuk University Station in Seoul. On a Wednesday in May, a coworker and I both worked late, and afterward he suggested a beer at a place he already knew. It was just the two of us. Of everything we ordered, the maguro yukhoe was my favorite, with the tsukune dipped in raw egg yolk a close second.
Getting there after work
Tunatori sits on a side street near Konkuk University Station. Folding doors line the front, and on our visit they were open to the street. From our table we could see everyone walking past outside, and people-watching turned into part of the evening. The sign above the entrance reads つなとり in Japanese and 츠나토리 in Korean.
Inside there is a bar counter facing the kitchen and a row of tables. One wall is covered in handwritten notes left by customers, and it was fun to look through them. We sat at one of the tables. Most of the other customers that night looked like they were in their twenties.
The menu and prices
The main menu is a laminated sheet in Korean with a sumo wrestler drawing in the corner. Skewers run from 1,600 won to 4,700 won each. A separate photo menu shows the skewers, so you can point at what you want.
What we ordered, with the Korean names on the menu:
- 마구로육회 maguro yukhoe (chopped raw tuna): 15,000 won
- 부채살 busaesal (beef flat iron skewer): 4,300 won
- 쯔쿠네 tsukune (chicken meatball skewer with egg yolk): 4,700 won
- 명란 알탕 myeongran altang (spicy pollock roe stew): 14,000 won
- 테라 생맥주 Terra draft beer: 5,000 won
The full menu, translated section by section, is further down this post.
We started with Terra draft beer, and a plate of shredded cabbage came to the table as a basic side. Because every skewer has its own price, it is easy to add one or two more without thinking much about the bill.
Maguro yukhoe (15,000 won)
The maguro yukhoe is chopped raw tuna with plenty of green onion and sesame on top. It was my favorite dish of the night.
Busaesal and tsukune skewers
Every skewer we ordered was good. The busaesal skewer (4,300 won) arrived as four glazed cubes of beef on a black plate.
The tsukune (4,700 won) is a long chicken meatball skewer served with a raw egg yolk. We dipped it straight into the yolk first, then cut the rest into pieces and mixed them into the yolk. Dipping it whole was the better way to eat it.
Myeongran altang to finish (14,000 won)
Around 10 p.m. we ordered the myeongran altang, a spicy pollock roe stew with tofu, radish and green chili. It came to the table still bubbling, and after the beer the hot, spicy broth was exactly what I wanted. The menu also lists a 2,800-won pollock roe egg soup (명란계란탕), which is a different dish.
