Make sure you wear your best socks when you come to this Korean restaurant, because all customers must leave their shoes at the door. But as long as you are prepared, the experience of dining at Hangawi will be ethereal. Sitting on a cushion at a low table, you can fully appreciate the uncluttered elegance of the quiet dining space. The unusual and sophisticated cuisine is full of interesting tastes. Roots, tofu and even flowers appear amongst the delightful vegetarian fare; soups are particularly spectacular. Complement these dishes with a selection from their sake or plum wine list.
