The "oden (Japanese stew)" is said to be outstanding, with refined dashi (soup stock) flavor soaked in all the way through.
It also comes with a wide variety of ingredients, and many reviews said the more unusual ones, such as broccoli, hamaguri (clam), and Honeycomb tripe, were especially good.

Another signature of the restaurant is its “kushiyaki (grilled skewers),” which gets great reviews for its perfect grilling and juicy, springy texture.
The photo shows the “namafu (wheat gluten) bacon roll.” The mild sweetness of the namafu and the saltiness of the bacon are said to be a perfect match.

The oden (Japanese hot pot dish) broth is delicious! They also have some unusual kinds of oden, so I was able to enjoy the meal while having fun. When you have both yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) and oden, the drinks go down really fast. I also quietly enjoyed it with shochu mixed with broth! It was a great meal

The main menu focuses on oden (Japanese hot pot dishes) and yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), with an especially wide variety to choose from. They also offer plenty of other à la carte dishes. Every dish is a solid choice. The oden is especially good. The well seasoned ingredients really made me feel warm and at ease. The yakitori is also grilled to perfection. The master is basically a true craftsman.

Celery. Odori Ten, about a 5-minute walk from Susukino Station, is the second branch of a popular izakaya near Sapporo Station. The restaurant features a Japanese modern interior with the feel of a hideaway for adults.

The "oden (Japanese one-pot stew)" is served on a tabletop stove, which means you can enjoy it piping hot. They say the broth soaks well into every ingredient, making it excellent.
daikon radish, ganmodoki (fried tofu fritter), and konnyaku (yam cake) all come in extra large portions, so the oden alone is enough to leave you full.

The super fresh “Serori. Meibutsu!! Sakana Assort” comes served in a wooden box, making it a dish you can enjoy not just with your tongue but with your eyes too.
You can enjoy it while checking the production region and variety of each item, so even people with strong preferences are likely to be satisfied with it.

The color is deeply soaked in, but it is not salty, and the gentle dashi broth has fully seeped in. Add an accent with tororo-kombu (shredded kombu kelp) and plenty of karashi (Japanese mustard), and the sharp kick still tastes great!

The sashimi was fresh and faultless. The oden (Japanese hot pot dish) was a warming dish in Sapporo as winter was setting in. The prices are reasonable, and there is a wide variety of dishes, so it seems like a good choice for a family trip as well.

The oden (Japanese stew) at this restaurant is known for its clear broth. The ingredients are said to be more deeply infused with flavor than they look, showing the care that goes into the prep.
The broth can be enjoyed in different ways, such as poured over rice for ochazuke (tea over rice) or mixed with alcohol.

The "teba Kara-age" is something you will want to share with friends. One nice touch is how the exposed bone works as a handle, making it easy to eat.
It is fried so the outside turns crisp while the inside stays juicy, and it is said to taste irresistible.

There are lots of menu options, and in this cold season you can especially enjoy oden and Japanese sake. To finish, I had dashi chazuke (rice in broth) and was very Manzoku!

Shinko-yaki (grilled young chicken), oden (Japanese hot pot dishes), and sashimi were all very good. I was also happy with the generous portions for the price! The tableware they use was stylish!! The atmosphere was nice too, and although the staff member seemed busy handling things alone, the food and drinks came out smoothly.

As the finishing dish of the dinner course, they serve an oil-based pasta: "kaki (oysters) and karasumi (dried mullet roe) aglio e olio."
The oysters are plump and satisfying, and the karasumi has a rich flavor that makes the dish outstanding.

It was a shop for oden (Japanese hot pot dish with ingredients simmered in broth) and wine, but they also had a wide selection of drinks other than wine, including a recommended craft beer for the day, so you can enjoy the drinks as well. The oden was delicious, with solid Japanese flavors matched very well by Western style accents.

You really can’t go wrong with the food here. Rather than when you specifically want oden (Japanese hot pot dishes simmered in broth), I’d recommend it when you’re in the mood for yoshoku (Japanese-style Western food). It was also a big help that they cut and served the dishes based on the size of our group. The staff were very friendly too, which made the whole experience comfortable. They also had a wide selection of drinks, from wine to Japanese sake.

They serve nidaki oden (simmered oden) that you can keep warm on a tabletop stove while you eat. It is especially nice in the colder months.

The "saba no misoni (mackerel simmered in miso)," which has drawn reviews calling it outstanding.

The "[Kansai-style] oden (Japanese one-pot dish)" is said to have a light seasoning that gives you a warm, gentle feeling.
Every ingredient soaked with the carefully made dashi broth is tasty, but the "fuwa-ten" is said to be especially great, with the faint aroma of edamame matching the broth perfectly.

A yakitori restaurant with a stylish atmosphere and an upscale feel. The yakitori is light and tender, with just the right amount of salt. The oden (Japanese hot pot dish) has a good dashi flavor and is Kansai style. It’s great. The wine goes down easy too.

They have gentle flavored oden (Japanese stew), as well as kushiyaki (grilled skewers), small plates, and udon. The kushiyaki was grilled just right, and the oden was nicely seasoned and very tasty. The tofu? that came as the otoshi (small appetizer) was also good. Rather than a place to drink in a loud group, it felt like a spot for a quiet drink with a few people.

Hakata Yatai Meshi Takao-chan, about a 5-minute walk from Susukino Station, is an izakaya where you can enjoy Hakata cuisine right in Sapporo. The many dishes made with plenty of ingredients from Kyushu are said to pair perfectly with drinks.

The oden (Japanese stew) is said to have a comforting flavor with the broth soaked in well.
Along with classic ingredients like daikon radish and chikuwa (tube-shaped fish cake), you can also enjoy unusual items such as roll cabbage and nama-wakame (fresh wakame seaweed), so each visit seems to bring a new discovery.

A popular item to enjoy with drinks is the "Hakata hitokuchi gyoza (bite-sized dumplings from Hakata)." They are easy to eat thanks to their bite-sized shape, and the crisp texture of the lacy wing makes them especially pleasant.
They are said to taste even better with Kyushu's "daidai kake ponzu (ponzu sauce with bitter orange)," which adds a nice citrus note.

We had gyoza, jidori (local chicken), and oden, and every one of them was really good. The ponzu sauce for the gyoza was a Kyushu-style one, and that kind of attention to detail was nice too. The jidori was nice and fragrant, and it went great with beer.

Shusai Biyori Namarayoshi is an izakaya in a convenient location near Sapporo Station, where you can enjoy oden (Japanese hot pot dishes) and robatayaki (fireside grilling). Another draw is the selection of local sake from Hokkaido as well as from all over Japan.
The calm space, filled with the warmth of wood, mainly has counter seating. It seems like an easy place to visit even when dining alone.

The "oden (Japanese stew)" made with their carefully prepared dashi stock is especially popular.
The dashi soaks well into every ingredient, but the "hanjuku tamago (soft-boiled egg)" is a standout in particular, with its perfectly runny texture making it irresistibly good.

The "ate assortment" comes served in individual small bowls, making it a visually fun dish as well.
It includes a wide range of flavors such as ika no shiokara (salted squid), asari (short-neck clams) marinated in Shaoxing wine, and potato salad, making it perfect with a drink.

Though lightly seasoned, the flavor soaks well into every ingredient, and it is said to pair perfectly with Japanese sake. Above all, the daikon radish is said to be large and satisfyingly filling.

Another signature menu item, the aji fry (fried horse mackerel), is very popular for its new texture, with a lightly rare center and a crispy outside.
It has a rich aroma and full flavor, and is said to be plenty delicious even without any sauce.

The restaurant’s top recommendation, aji fry (fried horse mackerel), is served with wasabi and soy sauce. It has a nice plump texture and tastes really good! I also love that they have su-motsu (ponzu dressed offal), one of my favorites! They also have other menu items that caught my eye, like oden (Japanese stew) and abura soba (soupless ramen). It seems the menu changes daily, too. The owner and staff were very pleasant, and I found a place that makes me want to come back.

The famous aji fry (fried horse mackerel) is rare inside and crispy outside! It has a new kind of texture and tastes great! Everything at this restaurant is good, but the dashi tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet with broth) made with oden broth is especially outstanding, so you should definitely try it! They have a wide selection of both food and drinks, and everything was tasty, so I was completely Manzoku✨It’s a really lovely place, so definitely give it a tryー‼️
