You can see many exotic places in Songdo, Incheon, since it is known as the international city. NC Cube Canalwalk resembles with Fukuoka or Osaka and you can enjoy relaxing time there as it has outlets for fashion items, nice restaurants and cafes. It consists of four buildings, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter buildings, and watching the unique structures along the artificial waterway in the middle of the buildings is fun enough.
NC Canalwalk is Shopping Mall building but the buildings themselves and neighboring scenery is beautiful enough to receive Architectural Culture Excellence Award. What I’m going to introduce you is a Japanese restaurant called Akino Kitchen where you can have a nice meal at romantic Canalwalk that is often used as a filming site of movies or dramas.
Canalwalk is a beautiful shopping culture complex where the water flows all the time except in winter. 
Beautiful waterway is blocked now but the Christmas trees attracted people. 
Canalwalk has four buildings called Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Buildings, and Akino Kitchen is on the second floor of Autumn Building. This restaurant got famous as it was aired on ‘Tasty Road’ currently and as I checked it out, the interior was in general neat and fancy that women would love it. 
There was raw fish, skewered food, sushi and noodles but we had to eat a meal so we ordered one Nagasaki Jjamppong(Nagasaki spicy seafood noodle soup) and Chickendong. 
As soon as we ordered, salads, Tteok-bokki(stir-fried rice cake), hand-made pickled radish and salted radish, and warm Japanese-style deonjang(bean paste) soup are served. 
The salads stimulated the appetite with sweet and sour fruit sauce on crunchy vegetables. 
We were glad to see Tteok-bokki but sadly, they were cold. 
Hand-made pickled radish and salted radish were not so strong. Especially white salted radish tasted quite unusual as it had skin of citron.
Nagasaki Jjamppong with seafood in white meat broth was served.
It had so many big shrimps, small shrimps and clams so that we had fun eating them and the soup was meat broth but still had seafood taste. 
Basically the soup made with pork bones and it tasted so good with fresh seafood fried in strong fire with vegetables.
The noodles must be Japanese noodles. They were properly thick and chewy. It was so good that we finished soup, noodles and every ingredient inside it.
Secondly served dish was Chickendong. This was strongly suggested by the chef so I ordered it. I thought it’s going to be fried chicken but it was stir-fried and served with vegetables on it. 
Slightly crisply fried drumsticks, crunchy onions and bean sprouts were seasoned with a little bit salty and sweet teriyaki sauce(soy sauce). It tasted better because they used soft drumsticks instead of tough chicken breast.
Teriyaki sauce was properly salted and sweet that I could finish it all. Everything was not strong but neat.
The meal was nice and everything but if I come here again, I would love to drink cool Asahi beer and snacks for drinks at night.
There are many nice restaurants in Seoul but it turns out that there are reasons to film shoot here in Songdo, Incheon because it has Akino Kitchen. Thanks to that, we had a nice meal in a romantic restaurant.
