📖 Place Overview & Story
Kotetsu is a cozy Japanese-style izakaya near Hongdae. From the counter you can watch yakisoba and okonomiyaki sizzle on the griddle.
The signature motsunabe has a milky, rich broth with chives and cabbage and tender beef intestines. Put the motsunabe on first, then enjoy the griddle dishes while it simmers.
