When I traveled to Hokkaido, I wanted to fully enjoy the experience! That's when I discovered Tsukko Meshi! The energetic and friendly staff put on a great performance and provided excellent service, leaving me feeling satisfied. The ikura and salmon parent-child rice bowl was delicious and filling! Other menu items were also outstanding. A must-visit in Sapporo!

When I came to Sapporo, I felt like eating Tsukko Meshi, so I visited for the third time. No matter how many times I come, I enjoy the lively performance of scooping up the ikura while shouting "Yoisa". I tried the half and half with hotate butter and nishin no kirikomi, as well as hokke-chan chan yaki, while waiting for the perfect timing to order the Tsukko Meshi. The sticky ikura was very delicious and enjoyable. I would like to visit again next time.

I wanted to eat the famous ikura donburi (rice bowl with salmon roe) so I made a reservation and arrived at the restaurant. By 5 o'clock, the restaurant was already full. When my order arrived, the bowl was filled with a mountain of ikura! Since I was also drinking, I opted for a smaller portion, but it still had a satisfying amount of ikura. It was incredibly delicious and enjoyable, so I highly recommend it!

On July 22, 2023 (Saturday) for dinner (2), I went to a restaurant with my partner during our 3rd day of traveling in Hokkaido. We had made a reservation for 8:00 pm and ordered a grilled Atka mackerel from Rausu, Hokkaido (2590 yen) along with the restaurant's specialty dish, the original Tsukko rice with salmon roe bowl (2690 yen). The Atka mackerel was large and delicious, with a good amount of fat. It was 1.4 times larger and 1.7 times tastier than the ones in Tokyo. The salmon roe in the bowl was slightly small but full of flavor, allowing us to enjoy it to the fullest. I had a second glass of draft beer, and the total bill came to 8380 yen. Despite being a touristy restaurant, we were very satisfied with the food. After dinner, we strolled through Odori Park, the Clock Tower, and Ramen Alley in Sapporo before returning to our hotel for the night.

I wanted to go to an izakaya with a Hokkaido vibe, so I made a reservation and went. This time, I tried the course menu. Putting salted squid on buttered potatoes is a common Hokkaido dish, right? The saltiness of the salted squid goes well with the large potatoes. The sashimi was delicious when eaten with chili soy sauce. And the snow crab, which I wanted to eat the most, was as delicious as I had hoped. It was cut into easy-to-eat pieces, which was much appreciated. The grilled Okhotsk atka mackerel and fried chicken were reliably tasty. And finally, the much-awaited tsukko-meshi. It was a bit underwhelming in the course size, but the "Oisaa!" cheer was fun. I decided how much to donate for this year's hometown tax payment.

In mid-June 2023, for dinner. I stayed in Sapporo today. I was looking for a seafood izakaya, so I decided to stop by this place. It's a popular restaurant known for its ikura rice bowl called "tsukko meshi". When I arrived at the original store around 5:10 p.m., it was already full, but the staff kindly made a reservation for me at this branch. It seems to be a trendy place. I ordered the "Hachiyomori (half)", "Grilled scallops with butter", "Grilled asparagus", and "Steamed clams in sake". I really wanted to try the alfonsino, but they didn't have it that day, so I had to give up. I started with beer, then switched to cold sake "Kokushi Muso" when the sashimi arrived, and ended with highball. The sashimi and scallops were delicious, and the asparagus was nicely grilled as it's in season. However, when I tried the steamed clams in sake, I felt that the broth had a strong salty taste and some roughness that made me wonder if they crushed the kelp while making the broth. It gave me the impression that they might not be very skilled in cooking. It feels like a popular restaurant that combines the overwhelming deliciousness of Hokkaido's ingredients with the performance of tsukko meshi. Also, the staff's service was excellent, making the drinking experience enjoyable and satisfying.

It's been a while since I visited Hachikyo, but the atmosphere in all the stores is consistent and has that Hachikyo feel. It's lively and feels like being inside a fisherman's hut. However, I noticed that the prices have gone up since my last visit. It's understandable given the current situation. The famous tsukko meshi dish is still delicious and entertaining, perfect for tourists. The customer service is as informative and polite as ever. I would recommend this place to tourists.

If you're going to Sapporo, you can't miss this place!! Hachikyo has many branches, but I heard the menu is the same, so when I managed to get a reservation, I went to the Goten branch! Firstly, it was quite difficult to get through when making a phone reservation... I wondered if the place was even open. That was the only downside, I guess? The Tsukko-meshi, with a generous amount of salmon roe, was spectacular!! The other dishes were also delicious and top-notch!! I feel like I've eaten all of Hokkaido. When the Tsukko-meshi arrives, everyone is excitedly taking photos! The energetic "Oisaa!" chant just comes out naturally! It's like a restaurant filled with a spirit of hospitality, and I definitely want to make another reservation to go back!!

I really wanted to go on a trip to Hokkaido, so I made a reservation! It was difficult to get through on the phone for the reservation, which made me realize how popular it is. The food at Zuttoko Meshi was incredibly delicious (о´∀`о) My friends were also satisfied!! I will definitely visit again when I go to Hokkaido!

Visited at 9pm during Golden Week. Although some items were sold out, we were able to order most of the menu. Everything we tried was delicious and we were impressed. The specialty Tsukko-meshi is a must-try. I recommend ordering a medium size if there are two of you. The staff at the restaurant were also very friendly.

The overflowing ikura donburi was a satisfying service. I enjoyed a set of miso-grilled hokke, crab, butter-grilled scallops, and salmon ikura donburi with miso soup. The crab was full of meat, the hokke had a strong sweetness and spicy miso, and the ikura donburi was like a jewel box! Everything was truly delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the seafood donburi of Hokkaido. This was the third stop on my Sapporo bar crawl, and even though I ate too much and felt like my stomach was going to burst, I was very satisfied.

I had a strong craving for ikura donburi, so I decided to visit Hachikyo, a place I had never been to before. The main store was full, so I went to a nearby location. I was seated at a table for two even though I was alone. The place was full of tourists. I ordered the following: Tsukko rice (medium size), hotaruika changja, tarezangi, and a glass of sake from the northernmost brewery. The appetizer was masu ikura. When ordering the tsukko rice, they warned me to make sure I could finish it all. They then cheerfully served the ikura in front of me, exclaiming "Yoisho! Yoisho!". The ikura was salmon roe, served with miso soup and pickles. The rice was filled up to about 90% of the bowl, so the amount of ikura was decent. The lightly salted ikura allowed me to eat it eagerly and enjoyably. Normally, I have ikura with ginger soy sauce at home, so this different flavor was quite enjoyable. The freshness of the ikura was a bit disappointing. I managed to satisfy my craving without overeating, which was good. I finished by pouring dashi soy sauce over the rice. The tarezangi was unexpectedly delicious, and I highly recommend ordering it even if you just want one piece. The sake from the northernmost brewery was a bit pricey but very tasty. The hotaruika changja paired well with the ikura donburi. Despite the trend of spicier foods, the price of around 2500 yen for the ikura donburi was not too high, making it a recommended choice for those looking to eat ikura donburi near Susukino. They also had daily specials and a variety of Hokkaido dishes, such as true hokke (not striped hokke like in Honshu). The menu included options like Rausu and Hokkaido hokke. The restaurant also offered a wide selection of drinks, including shochu, beer, wine, cocktails, and sours. It was a popular spot, so reservations are a must. I will definitely come back when I crave ikura donburi again. Thank you for the meal!

During my trip to Sapporo, I really wanted to try the ikura donburi at the popular restaurant Hachikyo. After calling multiple times, I finally managed to make a reservation for 10:30 PM. The food was all delicious and generous in portion size, and the staff were lively and made the atmosphere enjoyable. The ikura donburi was amazing, with large, bouncy salmon roe that was incredibly tasty. I ended up ordering too much and had to struggle to finish towards the end, feeling so full that I couldn't even drink any more water. However, the soft serve ice cream I ordered for dessert was rich but not too heavy, providing a perfect palate cleanser.

I used it for dinner on a business trip. When it comes to tsukko-meshi, it was my second time at Hatchikyo, but I definitely wanted to eat ikura don. I ordered a small ikura don. In the past, I had the image of overflowing ikura, but maybe because of the current situation, it stopped at just the right amount, which was a shame. However, compared to other restaurants, the portion was definitely generous, so if you're interested, please give it a try!

Reservation is required!! I happened to make a phone reservation the day before and was able to get a spot at 10 pm! Try the original overflowing ikura bowl! The way it's served is interesting, and the taste is amazing ✨ Also, try the simmered kinki fish. It seems like there is a limited quantity, but I miraculously got to try it. Enjoying the taste of the ingredients while intensifying the flavor... it was the best!!

During my previous trip to Hokkaido, I couldn't visit this place, but this time I made a reservation a month in advance and entered the shop feeling excited. The energetic greeting from the staff was wonderful. I was surprised by the size of the portions and the cost performance was great. Above all, I thought the amount of ikura (salmon roe) on the rice bowl was amazing for the price. It had been a while since I indulged in eating ikura, so I felt very happy and satisfied!

I made a reservation a month ago and was really looking forward to it! I wanted to eat Daruma-style Genghis Khan and late-night miso ramen. I knew I couldn't eat everything in one day, so we decided to just share these dishes among three of us. We thought we'd be satisfied after eating the ikura don, but ended up wanting to try the corn butter, crab cream croquette, and zangi as well. In Hokkaido, you have to expand your stomach before going!

To Hachikyo: When I visited the main store, all the seats were full, so I made a reservation at Hachikyo Ikura Goten and headed there. Finally, I got to try the Tsukko Meshi I've been wanting to eat for so long!!! It took about 20 minutes after ordering for the staff to bring out a plate overflowing with salmon roe while shouting "Oisaa! Oisaa! Oisaa!" The Zangi was bigger and tastier than I imagined, surpassing even the specialty Zangi shops. The whole grilled Atka mackerel was so large that it made all the mackerel I've had before seem mini-sized, and it was amazing!!! The flesh was firm and the skin was edible, as the staff kindly informed me. The Hokkaido Yubari Melon Sour tasted like melon juice, easy to drink, and a flavor I really enjoyed. There are still more dishes I want to try, so I will definitely come back again ☺︎︎︎︎

Sapporo is a tourist destination, so when it comes to Hokkaido, seafood is also a form of entertainment. Representing this is Hachikyo, a popular restaurant that often appears in the media. With 6 locations in the Susukino area, this restaurant is always crowded with reservation guests on weekends. I used to visit this restaurant regularly when I came to Hokkaido a few years ago. This time, I made a reservation for two people with a friend who lives in Sapporo for 5:00 pm on a Sunday. Hachikyo is the only restaurant that accepts online reservations, which is why we chose it. When we arrived at the restaurant before 5:00 pm, we saw others waiting as well. As soon as the restaurant opened at 5:00 pm, everyone entered at once and many seats were quickly filled. The staff explained the menu and recommended dishes to us when we were seated, so we decided to go with their recommendations since it had been a while since our last visit. We ordered a sashimi platter, shirako with ponzu sauce, grilled Tasmanian salmon collar, and chicken zangi, along with some drinks for me. My companion doesn't drink, so I ended up drinking all the alcohol. The sashimi was fresh, and the shirako, a winter delicacy in Hokkaido, was delicious as expected. The Tasmanian salmon was surprisingly tasty, despite the initial high price. However, the highlight of the meal was the "tsukko meshi," where a large amount of salmon roe is piled on top of rice. This dish is a must-try, and the staff will advise you to order an amount that you can finish. When the tsukko meshi arrives, there is a performance where the salmon roe is generously piled on top of the rice, accompanied by the staff chanting "delicious!" This entertaining presentation adds to the popularity of the dish. The tsukko meshi was delicious, especially for salmon roe lovers. If you love salmon roe, visiting this restaurant in Sapporo is highly recommended.

I visited this restaurant during my trip to Sapporo, where a cold wave had hit the city with heavy snowfall. Last time I was here on a business trip in October, and this time it was for leisure. The restaurant was fully booked when I arrived at 6:00 pm, so I quickly ordered the Marutoku course with all-you-can-drink option. We started with a salad and a toast with draft beer. The dishes kept coming one after another, including a sashimi platter, buttered potatoes, grilled hokke fish, and a special dish that paired perfectly with the drinks. The highlight was the "tsukko meshi" with a dramatic serving of salmon roe on rice. It was a fun experience to enjoy this dish together. The meal ended with a refreshing sherbet. Overall, the food was delicious and satisfying. Now, we are off to explore the freezing cold Odori Park. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
