Hannam-dong's Soyanggang Hoemacha: Fresh Raw Shrimp Sashimi for 30,000 Won with Complimentary Fried Shrimp and Head Fritters

'Soyanggang Hoemacha', located in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, is a place that offers a cost-effective menu composition despite the regional characteristic of being an affluent area. According to a Kim Sawon Sekki video released in September 2026, this place was introduced as a practical raw fish restaurant that is hard to find within Hannam-dong.

The Harmony of Autumn Seasonal Gizzard Shad and Sweet Raw Shrimp

Among the menus here, the gizzard shad sashimi, a representative raw fish of the autumn season, is offered for 30,000 won. The participant in the video explained that the gizzard shad has gained fat, giving it a strong, savory taste, and the texture of it being sliced with the bones intact pairs well with makjang (seasoned soybean paste). The raw shrimp sashimi ordered together is also offered at a price of 30,000 won. In the video, you can see the shrimp in such a fresh state that the tails are moving, characterized by a bouncy texture and a sweet taste.

Abundant Complimentary Side Dishes Provided When Ordering Raw Shrimp

A characteristic of Soyanggang Hoemacha is the composition of complimentary side dishes that come when ordering raw shrimp sashimi. According to the video, if you order raw shrimp, fried shrimp heads with a rising butter aroma are provided as a service. Thanks to the innards inside the heads, this produces a deep and savory taste, making it a perfect combination for a beer snack.

Additionally, fluffy steamed eggs and shrimp tempura, which have a crispy texture from being freshly fried, are served together like basic side dishes. The participant mentioned that the texture of these fried items is at a level that can be tasted at high-end Japanese restaurants, noting that the quantity and quality of the complimentary side dishes provided along with the raw shrimp sashimi are very rare.
