Hinotsuki

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Japanese Table in the Heart of Seoul

Hinotsuki occupies a distinctive address on Teheran-ro, the broad boulevard that runs through Seoul's Gangnam business district. The restaurant's name — evoking fire and sky — sets the tone for a Japanese dining experience that takes both food and drink seriously.

Wine Spectator Recognition

For 2025, Wine Spectator granted Hinotsuki its Award of Excellence, a mark reserved for restaurants whose wine lists demonstrate careful curation, balance, and genuine compatibility with the kitchen's output. In a city where Korean and international dining compete fiercely for attention, earning this recognition places Hinotsuki among a select group of Seoul restaurants where the glass is considered as deliberately as the plate.

Japanese Cuisine, Thoughtfully Served

Hinotsuki's focus on Japanese cuisine means a commitment to precision — in sourcing, in technique, and in presentation. The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, making it a viable destination whether the occasion is a midday business meal or a longer evening at the table. The Teheran-ro location, central to Gangnam's professional and cultural life, ensures a clientele that expects and receives attentive, knowledgeable service.

For those seeking Japanese cuisine in Seoul with a wine program that has drawn international notice, Hinotsuki offers a considered and credible choice.
