Where to get high-end sushi in Korea?

You might think that you need to go to Japan to get amazing sushi, but if you are in Korea or are planning a trip, there are places to have a real sushi experience with a Japanese sushi chef!

We first met Chef Koji in Australia years ago. His wife is Korean and knew Hugh. We had been meaning to visit his sushi restaurant for ages but hadn’t had the chance. They invited us to come make a video though and we ended up having the best sushi experience of our lives.

We love sushi, and are happy to eat all kinda and quality of sushi. But experiencing this type of sushi was just a whole other level. Chef Koji taught us how quickly sushi needs to be eaten because the temperature of the rice is so important. He took us on an amazing sushi adventure and really opened out minds to all the amazing flavours there are- not just salmon!

Our son Yul really enjoyed the udon noodles but refused to eat the sushi. Can’t explain much to two-year-olds! Koji’s own daughters prefer the udon as well. One of his daughters, when asked what her father does, says he makes udon! She understands udon is delicious but not that her father is an amazing and famous sushi chef.

Sushi Koji is open for lunch and dinner and while pricey, as high quality sushi is, it’s well worth the experience.
