One owner. Handmade dishes. An evening in Hallim.

One owner.
Every dish.

Akarenga takes its name from the Japanese word for red brick.

We opened in October 2018, on the second floor of a red-brick building on Hallimjungang-ro in Jeju. The owner runs the place on his own.

Grilling, frying and simmering begin when you order. Salmon is cured with kombu and sake; croquettes are shaped by hand from freshly boiled potatoes.
