Get Your Winter Fix: Gyu-Kaku’s Korean Street Food Festival is Back!

Get Your Winter Fix: Gyu-Kaku’s Korean Street Food Festival is Back! Gyu-Kaku is bringing the vibrant flavors of a Korean street food market to Japan this winter! Starting November 6, 2025, Gyu-Kaku locations nationwide will host the limited-time “Korea Fair,” focusing on the deeply satisfying umakara (deliciously spicy) and cheesy delights we all crave during the colder months. This year, they have assembled an impressive lineup of popular Korean street food favorites.

🔥 Grilling the Classics: Samgyeopsal and Premium Meats

First of all, the star of this fair, Gyu-Kaku-Style Samgyeopsal (Grilled Pork Belly), offers a customizable feast. You choose between a savory Spicy Sauce or classic Salt and Pepper for your richly grilled, juicy pork short ribs. Furthermore, you can wrap them up and enjoy them with a trio of sauces: Ssamjang (lettuce miso), Kochumayo (spicy mayo), and creamy Cheese Sauce, creating a new delicious bite every time. You absolutely need to discover your own “ultimate set”!

🥩 Must-Try Meats and Live-Action Grilling

Additionally, Gyu-Kaku enhances the Korean BBQ experience with specialty cuts. Moreover, they feature the irresistible Rolling Beef Offal (Marucho), whose burst of rich, sweet fat you savor with every chew. Experience the fun of Dancing Chukumi with Iidako (Grilled Small Octopus), which seems to dance as you grill it over the shichirin (mini charcoal grill). The bouncy texture and the restaurant’s special dipping sauce deliver a deep, unforgettable flavor.

🌶️ Umami Meets Spice: Savory Korean Side Dishes

Consequently, Gyu-Kaku offers a range of perfect snacks for the umakara (spicy) fans. The Spicy Stir-fry of Small Octopus and Pork delivers intense heat and a perfect pairing of chewy octopus and juicy pork, forming an addictive flavor profile. Next, try the Spicy Mandoo (Korean Dumplings). The spicy kick gradually builds, providing a pleasant warmth, and the chewy wrapper holds a burst of flavorful meat juices. The Spicy Mandoo offers a wonderful contrast to their standard menu’s Negi-Shio Mandoo.

🧀 Creamy and Comforting: Cheese-Loaded Delights

In addition, don’t miss out on the winter favorites featuring rich cheese. The Cheese Spicy Chicken achieves an unbeatable combination: spicy sauce coats the chicken pieces, and then hot, melting cheese completely wraps them up in a blanket of creamy, profound flavor. Alternatively, the Carbonara Tteokbokki delivers pure comfort. Rich, creamy sauce and gooey cheese coat the chewy tteokbokki (rice cakes), offering a gentle flavor that will satisfy your soul.

🍦 A Sweet Korean Street Finale

Finally, a Korean street food experience requires a sweet finish. The Chocolate Churro Cookie Vanilla dessert provides a fun, textural contrast. You roast the warm chocolate churro cookie over the shichirin before topping it with cold vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, creating a delightful hot-and-cold sensation. This dessert ensures you maintain that “Korean trip feeling” until your very last bite.

📅 Plan Your Visit

The Gyu-Kaku Korea Fair—Winter Korean Street Food Festival runs from November 6 to December 25, 2025. You can find these special menu items at Gyu-Kaku restaurants nationwide (excluding Gyu-Kaku All-You-Can-Eat Specialty Stores, Gyu-Kaku Yakiniku Shokudo, and Gyu-Kaku Seijo Gakuenmae).

Even better, you can enjoy all these featured Korean dishes as part of the all-you-can-eat option when you choose the Gyu-Kaku Course, Beef Tongue and Premium Yakiniku Course, or Kuroge Wagyu Course!
