There are many universities around Anam Rotary. Korea University is the closest and there are many others nearby. For college students, Japanese food seems a bit expensive for a meal. near the university district, there are a lot of cheap restaurants and they serve big amount of food because they care about students' pockets. The place I visited this time is sushi restaurant 'Sushi Jin'.

Maybe because the sign is a little old, it's on the side of the road, but it's not noticeable right away. And I couldn't tell if it's opened or closed because I couldn't see the light from outside.

It's narrow and long inside the store. Most sushi restaurants are like this.

When I order, they give me steamed egg first.

Steamed eggs from Japanese restaurants are soft like pudding. It melts in your mouth in an instant.

Unlike other sushi restaurants that serve sushi at once, Sushi Jin serves empty dishes first. They put the fresh sushi on it each time they make it. I felt like I was being treated properly only for 10,000.

Rakkyo and pickled ginger are indispensable.

Grilled eel over rice comes out first. Well seasoned and glossy eel is piled up on a generous bowl of rice.

Put pickled ginger and radish sprouts on the eel and take a bite! The luxurious taste of the eel spreads in my mouth. I feel like it fills my energy. The ginger reduces the greasy taste, so I did enjoy it until I finish it. It was quite a lot, just as it's near the university. Especially, the rice.

Sushi is starting to serve. A total of 10 assorted sushi dishes are served. At first, white fish comes out. One seems like flatfish and the other seems to be a seasonal fish. Basically they put less wasabi in it, so if you like wasabi, I recommend you to put more wasabi.

Fourth, cuttlefish and octopus. Cuttlefish's chewy texture is perfect for sushi.

Lastly, clams and eggs. Sweet Japanese egg roll sushi is a cheap and satisfying menu. Overall, the fish was pretty good. However, I was careful when I ate it because the rice breaks easily. It's a sushi restaurant with good cost-effectiveness overall.
