And hamburgers are just as popular in Tokyo as in the US, but they call it 'hanbaaga'... But it's still not Japanese and I wouldn't expect to a hamburger at a Japanese restaurant!
True, true, but I would argue that kimchi is a bit different, because at least it's from the neighboring area and has been known and made and eaten in Japan for centuries... Well, I'm not Japanese and so I can't really argue.

Just went there for lunch today and it was actually not bad. The lunch price starts from 8-12€.

karo: yeah that's because japanese letters come as a set with a vowel, like ra ri ru re ro, ma mi mu me mo, etc, so only the n comes by itself, and the vowels themselves ;p.
Are there any cheap restaurants in helsinki actually? like 6-7euro lunches? of decent food? in New Zealand I could get a good lunch for half of that actually

BTW Vii Voan has started importing other kinds of kimchi (although
some of the bags look downright scary). I bought some
kaktugifrom
them since I never seem to get it right when I make it myself.

What didn't you like about Korea House's version? BTW, did the owner
ever let you have some of his own stash that he keeps for Koreans?
