Taste a scrumptious sushi fare decently priced at the sizeable Sushi&Sushi, opposite the Lotte Mall recently open in Seongbok dong, at a discount by the end of 2021. Throughout the 3 or 4 times I visited this place, I always seemed to pick dishes that were taste galore and refreshing without exception, all priced at 2 euro a dish.

This is happening to a New Year drinking spree with friends with various arrival patterns. Hours are spent this way and there comes a swift, timely adaptation of the babble by the latecomer and everybody accepts this ..
