Kimbap is Korean-style sushi. I've been seeing it more and more around here.
The other night I picked this one up from Saraban which has a counter in the Daimaru Umeda department store...630 yen (about US$6.30 for about 1 roll).
A little pricey, some pieces were really thin.
This one was filled with bulgogi and veggies. It went nicely with a salad.
There is one at a convenience store I want to try too, hopefully I can get to it before they change their menu.
Have you tried kimbap before? What is your favorite fillings for it?

I don't think that I've tried Kimbap before. It does look a lot like a sushi roll.

Sorry for my ignorance...how is kimbap different from the more traditional sushi? It looks kinda like some of the sushi rolls I see at the convenience stores here in Hawaii.
It is derived from Japanese rolled sushi J-A & thirtyseven. The variation I've tasted in Hawaii used sesame oil on the nori :)
Take care you two.

There's a tiny, tiny house on Keeaumoku called Family Sushi House that sells four varieties for only $3 a roll - beef, vegetable, kim chee or tuna/cheese.
We have plenty of these rolls over here as Korean as well as Japanese restaurants are found in almost every corner.
Its not my fav as I prefer sashimi and tempura and once a while, the rolls.
Not sure if my comment went through earlier..wonky internet again. Interesting about the Hawaii version though!
tuna sounds interesting Jalna!
glad you can get sashimi and tempura often Nava Krishnan!
nope no other comments Rowena, though I did find yours once in the SPAM section and moved it back :)
Take care everyone.
