"As the menus outside are not the Korean dishes you are used to, I stepped inside this restaurant." said a Chinese customer who lives in Japan. When you see the menu, you may be confused. You may wonder, "Is this Korean food?" Yes, it is a Korean restaurant. Based on traditional Korean cuisine, with new ideas, new Korean dishes were created, which are actually tastier than traditional Korean dishes. For example, take the traditional Korean dish "Korean stewed chicken", where the traditional approach to the chicken stew where the meat can separate with bones easily, but with the creativity, taking it with tomatoes or home-made yuzu pepper, makes it more delicious. Taking it with kimchi is also quite delicious, but the combination with Yuzu pepper is even better

Dishes here are all made with Japanese ingredients. Every morning, the chef goes to the local vegetable shop and carefully selects the ingredients. The essential ingredients for Korean dishes such as kimchi or sauce are homemade. Even with ready-made sauces, the chef improve it with his own ideas, so that the sauce is more in line with Korean food. Creativity is not just for dip sauce, but also for dish itself. For example, the Osaka dish "Takoyaki" is fried after the standard baking process, so that you can enjoy the texture which is soft inside and crispy outside. This dish also goes well as snacks with drinks.

This creative chef is a Korean who lives in Japan and loves football. Often he is in charge of a local junior team coach or going to a senior game. As a younger age, before the Japan J League was established, he played against the Nissan Motor Football Club as a member of the Japan Koreans team. Speaking of the Nissan Motor Soccer Club, it is known to the Japanese as the predecessor of Yokohama F · Marinos, and it is a very famous football team. In a sense, it could be said that the chef had been playing at a professional level at that time. Because of such strong affection for football, the name of the restaurant is taken from "Shoukyuu" which is the expression of football in Japanese and Korean. Thus many football enthusiasts who live in the area often talk about soccer story while drinking and eating here.

Since the pot dishes here are large in quantity, if you can not finish them, please do not hesitate to tell the owner and take it home. You can also put noodles or rice into the soup at home and create other dishes.
