On this day, everything I ate and saw was amazing. This is my first "5-star" review since I started posting! It's just a short walk from Nango-dori 7-chome Station. It's right behind "Morimoto" restaurant. The location and appearance of the restaurant are truly like a hidden gem. I almost wanted to keep it as my own secret... (laughs) But I also want others to know, so after thinking about it for 3 days, I decided to write this review. Now, let me tell you about it. [Food] First, I saw the unique shape of the cutlet they serve and thought, "Oh, they serve a different kind of cutlet here," so I ordered the "Three-Element Pork Fillet Cutlet Set" (¥1200). Surprisingly, the miso soup and cabbage are refillable! And you can choose the amount of rice as "regular" or "extra large" without any extra charge. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so nice that I waited eagerly. Looking around the place, I noticed that the menu includes recommendations and tips on how to enjoy the food. Although I usually prefer sauce, I decided to try their original "salt" as recommended. When the food arrived, I was thrilled. The pork cutlet, soaked in red wine and perfectly sweet, paired excellently with the "salt" (which also contains Japanese pepper)! I devoured it in no time. Next, I tried the cabbage with their special "Japanese-style dressing," and it was a perfect match! The dressing enhances the flavor of the cabbage beautifully. All this for only ¥1200 is too cheap! (They even have a stamp card!) [Interior and Service] There are about 6 counter seats and 4 tables. I went alone, so I sat at the counter. Normally, waiting at the counter can be boring until the food arrives, but not here! There are tastefully arranged items like a desktop calendar (see photo), tourist magazines, newspapers, dream interpretation dictionaries, etc. Even if you go alone, you can relax here. It's even better with two or more people. In fact, there were customers who arrived before me and were still lingering when I finished. The service was fantastic! Since it was my first visit, they explained the dressing and other things very politely. They even took care of the air conditioning as I was seated near the ventilation. I felt grateful for their calm and courteous service. I must have said "thank you" many times. [Others] I was surprised to see that the alcohol prices were cheap for this type of restaurant! There are also menu items that go well with alcohol. The quiet and lovely atmosphere makes it a great place for having a relaxed conversation with loved ones over drinks. However, I think it's best not to use it as a typical izakaya-style place. Mistakes I made: - Dressing: As I mentioned earlier, the dressing is surprisingly salty on its own, so be careful not to put too much (otherwise, the cabbage towards the end may get too salty). - Rice portion: I love rice, so I thought "extra large is fine," but the cutlet is so delicious that a regular size rice portion is enough (unlike other places where you would need the extra rice). After returning home, I felt so happy and content that I could sleep deeply. Thank you so much, really, thank you.

They say that a lot can change in 10 years... It has been 11 years since my last visit. I don't remember much from my previous visit, but this time I tried the luxurious set lunch at SanKa. It included tonkatsu and 3 pieces of pork fillet for 1,000 yen (tax included). I was amazed by the quality of the set at this price. The presentation was impressive, and the pink color added a nice touch. The tonkatsu was perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious sauce and flavorful blend of salt. The fresh cabbage with original onion dressing was a great match. The ginger rice was a bit firm, but still complemented the tonkatsu well. The miso soup was also well-prepared. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal, although I found the pork a bit lacking in depth of flavor. But considering the price, I couldn't complain. In Sapporo, where tonkatsu restaurants are relatively few, SanKa stands out for its overall quality. Other notable places include Tamafuji and Katsutoku for their excellent tonkatsu. For a light and crispy option, KuniKa and Tonkatsu Kazoku are also good choices. This meal at SanKa might just be the perfect recovery.

Great value, delicious, and exceptional! The timing of entering the restaurant was perfect, as customers kept coming in right after me. I was lucky to get a table easily! The pork was not too fatty, and the scallop fry I ordered was perfectly cooked and delicious. I had a great lunch. I will definitely come back here! Oh, one disappointing thing was that the dressing didn't suit my taste.

- Taste... The food was extremely delicious. - Price... The cost performance is good, making it easy to visit. - Atmosphere... The interior has a sense of cleanliness and is comfortable. - Service... The staff are kind, creating a pleasant dining experience. - Other... Please share your thoughts as well.

A restaurant located in Nango 7-chome. Today, I visited a tonkatsu restaurant recommended by a colleague for the first time. It's crowded during lunchtime, so it's better to visit early or in the early afternoon. The menu is extensive and I had a hard time choosing, but I went with the SanKa Lunch Deluxe set. You can choose between white rice and seasoned rice. Plus, you can get refills of rice, cabbage, and miso soup (up to 2 times). The tonkatsu was very tender and delicious. The cabbage was also crispy and tasty. This set is quite a deal at 1000 yen (including tax). I will definitely come back regularly. Thank you for the meal.

I had a mixed plate of sirloin and fillet for my set meal. You can choose between white rice and ginger rice. I had ginger rice for my first serving and white rice for my second serving. The fillet was so tender that it didn't require much chewing. The sirloin had a rich flavor with a firm texture. The set meal also came with cabbage, miso soup, and you can have a second helping of rice, making it a great choice for those with a big appetite. Thank you for the delicious meal.

This month's second stop on my foodie adventure was at "Tonkatsu Sanka" for lunch, two years since my last visit. The menu still offers great value, and I decided to go for the "Rosu Katsu Curry" in a large portion. You can't choose the spiciness level of the curry, but you can choose between white rice or the lunch-exclusive ginger rice, with the option for a large portion (free of charge). The rice served is the delicious Hokkaido representative "Oborozuki". After a 10-minute wait, I was served freshly fried tonkatsu, rice, and a generous amount of shredded cabbage. The curry arrived separately in a sauce pot. The curry is a standard roux made by simmering plenty of the onion variety known as "Sapporo Yellow", which is said to be a rare gem, resulting in a sweet and flavorful sauce. The katsu is made with brand pork aged in Otaru red wine, and the meat is incredibly tender and juicy. The breading is crispy. I recommend trying a piece of katsu with both tonkatsu sauce and salt, then enjoy it with the curry and rice. The katsu is so tender that you hardly need to chew. Truly a top-rated tonkatsu specialty restaurant!

I ordered the "Sanaka Lunch Deluxe Plate" (1,000 yen) which includes tonkatsu and hirekatsu, and added a shrimp fry side dish (+200 yen) for a total of 1,200 yen. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday and was lucky to find 2 out of 5 parking spaces in front of the restaurant empty. After some deliberation, I decided on the deluxe plate and the shrimp fry. The tonkatsu and hirekatsu were both thick and delicious, not thin and flimsy. The shrimp fry had a good amount of meat inside and the tartar sauce underneath was a nice touch. It was so tasty that I ended up getting extra ginger rice, miso soup, and cabbage. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for the meal!

I went to this restaurant for the first time and had a great experience! I happened to find this tonkatsu place with great value on Nanago Street. I got a set with three pieces of pork loin and pork fillet tonkatsu for only 1000 yen on a Sunday afternoon. You can choose between ginger rice and regular rice. The tonkatsu was super tender with a crispy coating. You can get free refills of rice, cabbage, and miso soup. The sesame seeds were freshly ground and added great flavor. They even gave my child a complimentary Calpis drink, which made us very happy! I will definitely go back again.

I visited on a Saturday night and was lucky to find parking available. It had been a while since I last came, but this is definitely one of the delicious restaurants. I ordered the Thick Cut Tonemae Spring Water Pork Loin Cutlet (200g) for 2000 yen. It may be hard to tell from the photo, but it was a very thick cutlet with a sweet flavor of fat and tender meat. You can get refills for rice, miso soup, and cabbage. The dressing is homemade and very tasty. It's a great deal for the quality at 2000 yen. Thank you for the meal!

The interior of the restaurant had a nice Japanese atmosphere with traditional decorations and soft ambient lighting, but it was disappointing that the background music playing was loud Japanese pop music. It would have been better if they played more calming, traditional Japanese songs. The tonkatsu itself was very authentic, tender, and juicy, but there was too much oil under the meat and it seemed like it wasn't properly drained. The rice was too soft and lacked a glossy texture. The tartar sauce and pickles would be better if they were homemade. The sauce itself was too salty, overpowering the delicate sesame flavor. Overall, I wish they paid more attention to detail not only in the tonkatsu but also in other aspects of the meal.

When walking down the street, it's not often that you think, "Let's go eat tonkatsu at a tonkatsu restaurant!" But when you come across a place with a unique and inviting atmosphere, you can't help but think, "Let's go there!" Excitedly entering the restaurant, you're greeted by a pleasant aroma. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. I ordered the pork cutlet, which was tender with a crispy coating that wasn't too heavy. I also tried the ginger rice, which was a refreshing complement to the meat. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!

"Sanka" was my first visit. I heard it was a popular tonkatsu restaurant and I've been wanting to visit for a while, so I finally made it! Arriving 10 minutes before opening, I was worried that the parking lot might be full, especially on a Sunday! Luckily, there was only one car parked when I arrived at the restaurant. At opening time, there were only three of us including me, but more customers started to arrive gradually, creating a situation where there were some waiting customers but not a full-on line. The lunch menu featured reasonably priced aged tonkatsu and hirekatsu, as well as unique options like plum katsu and garlic katsu. I couldn't decide between Sanka A or B, and I was curious about the ginger pork. I wanted to try a variety of tonkatsu, so when I saw the "Sanka's Lunch Deluxe Set (¥1000)" on the menu, I was shocked! Three pieces of tonkatsu and hirekatsu for ¥1000!? And you can also get two refills of rice and cabbage! Even during lunch hours, you can also order from the regular menu. The jumbo chicken katsu on the menu looked impressive, almost making me faint when I saw it (lol). The Deluxe Set arrived in less than 10 minutes! I apologize for my poor cutting skills, but the breading was thin and crispy, not falling off at all! The fine breadcrumbs and light texture made it crispy without being too crunchy, and the meat had a hint of pink but wasn't raw at all! The thick cuts of pork provided a satisfying chew, with the hirekatsu being tender and easy to cut through. When you chew, the meat juices gently flow out, and there's a subtle sweetness and umami from the fat, making it easy to eat without feeling greasy! The hirekatsu is light, while the pork loin is juicy without being too fatty, allowing you to enjoy different flavors. They use wine for aging, resulting in a light taste that's not too heavy, making it suitable even for older customers. Even customers over 60 were ordering the same set. While fatty meat is good, it can sometimes overpower the natural flavor of the meat, so a moderate amount of fat might be better to fully enjoy the meat's flavor. You can also try different sauces like sesame or salt, or dip in mustard for variety. Personally, I prefer salt. Since both tonkatsu and hirekatsu are on the lighter side, adding salt enhances the flavor while bringing out the meat's umami even more! The sharp aroma of the ginger rice, with a hint of spiciness and a refreshing aftertaste, is also a highlight! The small amount of fat accumulates slowly, so resetting the accumulated fat in your mouth is like a reset button (lol). The homemade dressing is tangy and pairs well with the cabbage, making it a great palate cleanser! The free refills of rice and cabbage are also great, showing that this famous restaurant is generous! Next time, I want to try the bowl or curry, but I'm also drawn to other menu items (laughs). The staff's friendly service also made the experience enjoyable, so I would love to visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I went to lunch for the first time. The young male and female staff members provided very polite service, which was wonderful. It feels like the manager's training is well done. It's a very pleasant place where you can feel their kindness! I highly recommend it. The portion size is also satisfactory. The taste is also amazing for this price! I will definitely go back to eat there again! Thank you for the meal!

★★Tonkatsu with sesame sauce★★ I had the fillet set meal! You can get free refills of rice and miso soup. The tonkatsu with sesame sauce was delicious! Overall, the tonkatsu was light and I personally wished for a bit more depth in flavor. I chose the 160-gram set meal, but maybe the mixed platter would have been better? It's convenient to have a restaurant near Nango station. It gets crowded suddenly after 6 pm, so it's a popular place. I would like to try their lunch menu next time!

Luxurious lunch set for 1000 yen. Very reasonable. Plus, rice, miso soup, and cabbage are all-you-can-eat. The tonkatsu is aged in wine, giving it a unique texture. It's tender in a different way from the usual soft pork. The rice is delicious, but slightly on the softer side for me. While I wouldn't say it's exceptionally better than others, it's great value for money.

Located near Nango 7-chome Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Tozai Line, on a small alley one block west of Mizuyuji Street. There is a parking lot in front of the store. Arriving around 11:20 on Sunday, about 10 minutes before opening, there was already one car waiting. As I parked next to it and waited, the staff kindly said, "We'll open a little early for you..." Thank you! Inside the store, there are table seats on the right and counter seats on the left. Although not very spacious, the store has a bright and warm atmosphere. This time, I ordered the "Luxury Assorted Lunch" for ¥1,000 with a companion. You can choose between white rice made with Hokkaido-grown oborodzuki or ginger rice, and I chose the ginger rice. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the plate arrived with three pieces of aged tonkatsu and fillet katsu. First, I tried the tonkatsu with the blend salt on the table, and it was delicious! This blend salt enhances the flavor of the meat! Next, I ground the sesame and added the sauce to dip the katsu in. The sauce was richer than I expected, but the sesame flavor made it mellow in my mouth. The meat used in this restaurant is aged with red wine, and it was tender and had a great texture! Personally, I preferred eating the aged tonkatsu with salt over the fillet katsu. The ginger rice and miso soup were also delicious. Furthermore, you can have seconds of rice, miso soup, and cabbage up to two times, which is very generous! All this for ¥1,000 is a fantastic cost performance. I'm likely to become a regular here! #SapporoGourmet #Shiroishi-kuSapporo #Nango7-chome #Tonkatsu #CheapAndDelicious #LocalFavorite

We visited this restaurant for lunch at the request of our family to eat tonkatsu. The parking lot in front of the store seems to be able to accommodate about 5 cars. The menu is extensive and it was difficult to choose, but we decided on a set menu where we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The breading was crispy, and the tonkatsu was quite thick but tender. The croquette was on the lighter side for a cream croquette, making it easy to eat. You can have free refills of rice, miso soup, and cabbage up to two times. The ginger rice, which is only available for lunch, was also delicious. I would like to visit again to try other menu items. Thank you for the meal.

2022/09/03 Revisited. Today I went out to Nango 7-chome. I was thinking about what to have for lunch, and then I decided to revisit Tonkatsu SanKa, where I had delicious tonkatsu before. I ordered the SanKa Lunch Deluxe Set for 1,000 yen, which includes three pieces of loin tonkatsu and fillet katsu. For the lunch set, you can have unlimited rice, miso soup, and cabbage. The loin katsu is a bit small but thick and juicy. It's delicious. The fillet katsu is tender and tasty. I had seconds of rice and miso soup, and my stomach was full. Shortly after opening, the restaurant quickly filled up with families and other customers. It's a popular place. Both the loin and fillet were delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will come again.

Tonkatsu with natural spring pork loin 200g for ¥2,000. Mini crab cream croquette as a service. It's been a while since I visited Sanka ❤️ My dad treated me today ❤️ We used to live in Nango 7-chome before moving to our current home ❤️ Nana was a great place to live with many bars, but Susukino was so far away ❤️ Ah~ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It's incredibly tender ❤️ It's been a while since I last had it, but it's still super delicious ❤️ Eat it with sauce ❤️ Eat it with lemon and salt ❤️ Full and satisfied ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the meal ❤️ My companion had the cheese cutlet, but the cheese didn't melt, which was disappointing.

I finally visited this restaurant that I've always wanted to go to. There are about 3 parking spaces in front of the store. Inside, there are table seats and counter seats, making it easy for even one person to enter. I went during lunchtime and was able to sit without waiting. They have a luxurious set menu. I ordered both fillet katsu and loin katsu. You can choose between white rice and a limited-time ginger rice. I chose the limited-time ginger rice. You can have refills of rice, cabbage, and miso soup up to 2 servings. The tonkatsu arrived. This restaurant uses black sesame, so you mix the sauce yourself. They also provide mustard and salt, so you can enjoy different flavors while eating. The tonkatsu is very tender, and the pork loin is well-prepared with no gristle. The sauce is delicious, and eating it with salt is also tasty! All of this for only 1000 yen! Such great value for money. I want to go again!

For lunch, I visited "Tonkatsu Senka" located in Minamigo, 7-chome, Nango-dori, Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo for the first time. I ordered the "Sanka B" set for 950 yen, while my two companions ordered the "hirekatsu curry" for 1,030 yen along with the "Sanka B" set. We all chose "white rice" as our rice option. The "Sanka B" set includes tonkatsu, crab cream croquette, ebi fry, plenty of cabbage, rice, miso soup, and pickles. They provide a mortar and pestle for grinding sesame seeds and mixing with tonkatsu sauce. The tonkatsu was thick, tender, and very delicious. Personally, I found that the tonkatsu sauce was tastier without mixing it with sesame seeds, and salt was even better than tonkatsu sauce. The crab cream croquette with sauce and the ebi fry with tartar sauce were both crispy and tasty. This lunch set offers a great variety and value for money. The "hirekatsu curry" came with curry roux in a gravy boat, rice, and five pieces of hirekatsu on the plate, along with a side of cabbage. The hirekatsu was tender and light. The curry had a delicious vegetable flavor and sweetness, which paired perfectly with the cutlet. The "Sanka B" set, in particular, is highly recommended as a lunch special with great cost-performance.
