Beauty, Nourishment, and Wellness: Healing from the Inside Out
CLASSIC Samgyetang has relocated to Shibuya, Tokyo, reopening on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The restaurant combines the Korean traditional dish of samgyetang with the wisdom of herbal medicine and Japanese seasonal sensibility, offering a dining experience that nurtures the body from the inside out. In the midst of busy daily life, the restaurant proposes a "yakuzen (medicinal food)" approach tailored to the day's physical condition and mood, centered on the themes of beauty, nourishment, and wellness.
