Momoyama Seoul

Momoyama sits on the upper floors of the hotel directly beside the Lotte Department Store. It holds the no. 15 ranking on La Liste, distinguishing it as a serious venue for Japanese sushi in Seoul’s Jung District.

While most of the city’s sushi counters thrive on hidden, intimate basement footprints, Momoyama leans into its height above Eulji-ro. The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the floor-to-ceiling perspective over the city that you do not get in the tighter, famous sushi dens of the northern districts. It is a choice: you trade the insular, quiet intensity of a traditional bar for a wider view and the kind of scale that makes this the most imposing house for Japanese cuisine in the city.
