I had preordered the kegani (horsehair crab). This kegani from the Okhotsk region of Hokkaido was packed tightly with meat, and it was sweet and delicious‼︎The crab tomalley was incredibly rich. They seared the katsuo (bonito) over straw right in the restaurant, so the live cooking adds to the fun‼︎The katsuo was cut into thick slices, making it satisfying to eat and very tasty.

First, the quality of the otoshi (small appetizer) is surprisingly high. The sashimi assortment is outstandingly fresh across the board, and really lets you feel the bounty of Hokkaido. The specialty, “toro-taku without shari (sushi rice),” is a must-try dish with rich flavor and texture that come through directly because it has no shari. From live ika (squid) when available and kani-shabu (crab hot pot) to the To finish Clay Pot rice, everything is deeply satisfying.

The wide variety of yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), carefully grilled by the owner who trained at a noted restaurant, is very popular. Another draw is the carefully made tare (savory dipping sauce), which they keep adding chicken flavor to over time.

Every yakitori (grilled chicken skewer) was amazingly good‼️The liver was tender and large, and the sauce paired perfectly with Japanese sake, making it outstanding!

Once inside, the place was surprisingly spacious, and I enjoyed my meal at the counter while watching the cooking process at a relaxed pace. The saba sando (mackerel sandwich) is a house specialty for good reason, with a great balance between the bread and shimesaba (vinegared mackerel), and it was delicious! The boiled dumplings were also quite authentic, and the chewy wrappers were very tasty. There were also many creative dishes, and the atmosphere was calm rather than noisy, which was nice.

Tongue Japan
What I especially recommend is their wide selection of Japanese sake, with fine labels from the local area and all around Japan. They also take pride in dishes made with seasonal ingredients such as sansai (mountain vegetables) and sashimi (raw fish slices). The sansai is a dish that lets you fully enjoy the flavors of the season, and you can really appreciate the appeal of local ingredients. The sashimi is fresh and beautifully presented, and when you take a bite, a light sweetness and rich flavor spread across your palate.

You can order the fish skewers from just 1 skewer, and they are an easy-to-eat size, which is great for solo drinking. I had the salmon salt, octopus green onion salt, yellowtail sansho pepper, and cured mackerel with grated daikon and ponzu sauce, and each was seasoned just right to let the fish's flavor shine. The gari (pickled ginger), with a generous assortment and a direct kick of ginger heat, and the hon-maguro (Pacific bluefin tuna) skin with ponzu sauce, a rare delicacy, were also great dishes that went well with alcohol.

The restaurant had a calm atmosphere that made it feel like a nice place to enjoy drinks quietly. The counter seats were a bit narrow, but there were lots of local sake lined up right in front of us, which looked stylish. More than the sashimi, the skewers were by far better! In particular, the grilled buri (yellowtail) with salt and grilled octopus with salt were so good they practically melted in my mouth... Maybe it was the season and they were rich with fat, but they were amazing✨

Everything was so good! I could have kept drinking the first appetizer’s dashi broth with shinjo (fish paste dumpling) in it forever. And after all, this is Hokkaido (northern Japan), so every ingredient tastes great, which makes even the simply prepared dishes really delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant and the vibe of the other customers were both so nice, and I found a lovely place that I’d want to visit all the time if it were nearby.

It sounds like you can enjoy the differences in each one, from tenderness to a pleasant firm bite. They also have a good selection of drinks that pair well with the meat dishes, and there is an All you can drink menu as well.

I was impressed right from the otoshi (small appetizer), which was meat sushi. I ordered a 3-item assortment of basashi (raw horse meat), lightly seared lamb, Beef Tongue sashimi, and Chinchiro octopus sausage✨✨It was my first time trying the futaego and tategami cuts of basashi in particular. I am not sure exactly where those cuts come from, but they had rich fat that melted in my mouth and tasted incredibly good! You can enjoy them with garlic, ginger, and green onion as yakumi (condiments)✨✨

This is an izakaya (Japanese pub) in the downtown area of Sapporo. It is in a very convenient location, with a station, bus stop, and parking lot nearby. This time, I ordered an assorted sashimi platter and beer, and the sashimi was thick cut and nicely springy. They also had a wide selection of drinks besides beer, which was great. This is one of my recommendations.

There are many kinds of yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), and each skewer is carefully prepared by hand, making them beautiful to look at too. The prices are reasonable, and they also offer All you can drink, so this place is a good pick for those who like to drink a lot! They also serve reimen (cold noodles), which is rare for a yakitori restaurant, so you can enjoy a refreshing finish to the meal. Definitely make a reservation and check it out!

The dishes served by the master, who is from Rishiri-to (Rishiri Island), Hokkaido, use fresh seafood taken straight from the fish tank in the restaurant.
A nice point is that you can enjoy everything from classic picks to rare seasonal seafood depending on the time of year. The recommended choice is the sashimi assortment, which brings together the day's best picks.

Oyster dishes made with carefully selected dounaisan (locally produced in Hokkaido) oysters, such as “Baked Oysters with Cheese” and “Grilled Oysters,” are also popular.
The oysters are packed with umami, and delicious juices spill out with every bite. It is one of those snacks that people who enjoy alcohol will find hard to resist.
かんみ♪
In particular, they offer everything from classic Hokkaido favorites like crab and oysters to slightly rarer seafood such as hattakaku (sailfin poacher) and ankou (monkfish), making it hard to resist for anyone who loves seafood. They also use exceptionally fresh ingredients taken straight from the live tank, so the rich flavor that spreads across your palate is on another level.

I had been curious about this place for a while, and this was my first visit. I regret not coming sooner! I ordered the course menu. I told them my budget and what I wanted to eat, and it was beyond Manzoku, full marks! The atmosphere felt homey and relaxing. I heard the maguro (tuna) was caught by the chef himself, and the wara-yaki (straw-seared preparation) was very good.

They use ingredients from Hokkaido, especially from the eastern part of the region, and their robatayaki (fireside grill) menu is especially extensive.
In addition to seafood robatayaki such as "hon-shishamo (true shishamo smelt)" from Mukawa and off the coast of Hidaka, and "kinki (channel rockfish)," a premium fish from Hokkaido, grilled meat items like chicken thigh and Beef Tongue are also popular.

A local introduced us to this place, and we stopped by. The restaurant had a calm atmosphere, and we were able to spend a relaxed and luxurious time there. Each dish was prepared with great care, and it made for a really special time. The food was so good that I forgot to take photos of it (lol).

The asparagus tempura was really the best. The way it was fried, and when you dipped it in salt and ate it, it was light, crisp, juicy, and sweet. It was amazing! The Inca no Mezame (a variety of potato) fries were sweet too, and they went perfectly with butter. The hokke (Atka mackerel) was also delicious. It really made the Japanese sake go down easy.

It is praised not just for how good it looks, but also for the freshness of the sashimi and its satisfying portions. If you are not sure what to order, this is a popular dish you will definitely want to try.

You will also want to enjoy crab dishes unique to Hokkaido, such as kegani (horsehair crab) and hanasaki-gani (Hanasaki crab). It seems you can enjoy delicious crab packed tightly with meat.
If you want to enjoy crab casually, the wholesaler-direct "Iki-jime Hon Tarabagani (live-killed red king crab) Leg Extra Large 1 Grilled" is also recommended.
