It's a bit cliché, but Sapporo Beer Garden has that "I've arrived in Hokkaido!" vibe that I love. It's one of my favorite places. I wanted my daughter, who is visiting Hokkaido for the first time, to experience it, so we came here to eat Genghis Khan. I was surprised by how many tourists were in the park. Genghis Khan was fully booked throughout the venue. Reservation is definitely necessary! This time, we chose the King Viking Lamb All-You-Can-Eat Buffet with all-you-can-drink option. Lamb chops, lamb spare ribs, lamb sausages, all-you-can-eat, both loin and traditional, all lamb! The conversation was also a treat since I wasn't alone (^O^) We ate plenty and had a great time. We also had a slightly delayed birthday celebration as a surprise. We had pre-ordered a dessert plate with a message and fireworks included. The staff thought about the timing and it was very much appreciated. My daughter was delighted, and thanks to the staff, it was a great success! The evening atmosphere at Sapporo Beer Garden is also nice. This is a must-visit tourist spot that never disappoints! I want to come back again. #Sapporo #SapporoBeerGarden #GenghisKhan #AllYouCanEat #SapporoClassicBeer #Tourism #Travel #Hokkaido

On the evening I arrived in Sapporo, I headed to the Sapporo Beer Garden. The Kessel Hall that I had reserved was fully booked, as were the other Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) venues on that day. This is a popular spot where reservations are a must. As dusk approached and the lights began to illuminate, I was guided to the Kessel Hall, which was spacious with high ceilings. The smell of smoke and grilling meat filled the air. I was already excited at this point. The all-you-can-eat course was 4000 yen with all-you-can-drink option. The staff were efficient, swiftly bringing out the basic lamb meat, grilled vegetable platter, kimchi, edamame, cabbage with salt dressing, zangi (fried chicken), sausage, and potatoes, pouring sauce as they went. The first drink was the Hokkaido limited edition Sapporo Classic! It was truly delicious, I was genuinely impressed. It was my first time trying Genghis Khan, and I actually used to dislike lamb meat. But it was surprisingly tasty. The combination of the sauce flavor and the unique smell of lamb won me over. Additional orders were made through a tablet. As you can see in the photos, the Genghis Khan pot is shaped like Hokkaido. It was a fun touristy experience. Despite other options like chicken and pork, I ended up repeating the lamb meat. If you visit Sapporo for sightseeing, this is a must-visit spot. I was completely satisfied. I definitely want to come back. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

When it comes to recommendations, I always feel like trying it out. For a Five Star beer, head to Kessel Hall Beer Garden. The open and spacious hall is symbolized by the giant beer brewing kettle (Kessel) that dates back to the Taisho era. The rum here has a slightly musty taste in a really good way. That's what makes it good. Eating rum that has no distinct smell at all doesn't feel like you're really eating rum (personal opinions may vary). Overall, I was very satisfied with the atmosphere and everything.

When you come to Sapporo, this place is a must-visit. It's quite spacious. I can't really grill Genghis Khan at home, so I can grill it to my heart's content here. I drank quite a few of the 5-star beers that were said to only be available here. Beer definitely goes well with grilled meat.

You can have up to 2 onigiri per person, and vegetables and Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) are all-you-can-eat, as well as all-you-can-drink beverages. Even though I'm a Hokkaido native and not a big fan of Genghis Khan, it was delicious here. The meat was tasty, but the sauce was especially delicious. We had a meal with a large group in the spacious hall. It had been about 10 years since I last visited, but now they have touch panels for ordering, which makes it easy. It has evolved.

I made a reservation for our company team gathering at this restaurant. It is often fully booked even on weekdays, so I recommend making a reservation in advance through their website if you are considering using it. They serve fresh draft beer and raw lamb barbecue. The restaurant is lively with lots of people, creating a great atmosphere. The raw lamb has no gamey taste and is delicious, and I ended up eating too much because the dipping sauce for the barbecue is also tasty. They also have a special outdoor garden where you can enjoy barbecue lamb, so I would love to visit again on a hot day.

I ordered the Lamb 5 types platter @3,780 because I don't eat enough to do all-you-can-eat and I want to try various delicious cuts. I started with a Five Star glass @750, which can only be drunk here. It has a strong bitterness and is quite flavorful, similar to Ebisu beer. It's the type of beer you want to savor calmly rather than drink in a lively beer hall. The lamb platter includes Shoulder, Leg, Loin, Shoulder Loin, and Spare Ribs. Each has its own unique taste, but my favorite was the Shoulder Loin for its tenderness and depth of flavor. The Daikon and Haskap Pickles @440, and the Sour Craft @440 were perfect for a palate cleanser. Overall, it was delicious. It's better to enjoy the flavors slowly rather than doing all-you-can-eat. Next time, I want to try the thick-cut Shoulder Loin and Lamb prosciutto! It's also fun to drink the retro Lager at the neighboring Beer Museum.

I learned about the history of Sapporo Beer and remembered the hardships of our ancestors. The Genghis Khan was tender and delicious. When I ordered using a tablet device, the food was brought to me quickly, so I could enjoy it to the fullest within the time limit. I should have waited until I was more hungry though.

When you come to Hokkaido, it's a must-visit place. Lately, even on weekdays during the day, you can't get in without a reservation in advance. It's risky to drop in without a reservation. There are buses available, but it's easier to take a taxi and head straight there. The taste is outstanding, of course, but I opted for premium meat and beer. It left quite an impression as it was quite pricey, around 10,000 yen. It seemed expensive to me since I couldn't drink much, especially during the long drinking hours on a weekday afternoon.

I visited Sapporo Beer Garden for a tour and tasting, and ended the day enjoying Genghis Khan at the beer garden. Everything was delicious! The beer was great, but the Genghis Khan was especially tasty. The thinly sliced lamb meat on top of frozen vegetables was amazing, and the raw lamb was delicious too.

I visited on a Tuesday evening and ordered the "Standard All-You-Can-Drink" with the "Lamb Jingisukan Set", "Lamb Roast", "Grilled Asparagus", and "Daikon Radish with Haskap Berry Pickles". I started with beer but switched to red wine. I also added the "Traditional Jingisukan" and "Bean Sprouts" with "Asparagus Butter Soy Sauce". The tangy sauce on the Jingisukan was delicious, but unfortunately, the beer was not as good as expected. I felt that some improvement is needed in the way the beer is served.

Today's lunch was a buffet. Since it was a weekday, I joined in with all-you-can-drink at Kessel Hall. I thought I wouldn't be able to drink as much as all-you-can-drink, but the lamb meat was unexpectedly delicious, and I kept going back for more vegetables, especially the bell peppers, while finishing four glasses of Sapporo Classic beer. A friend told me that Sapporo Beer Garden is not good for Genghis Khan, but I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't help but wonder what their criteria are. I also visited a free museum and bought some souvenirs, making my last day in Sapporo very satisfying. The three days in Hokkaido had great weather and turned out to be a wonderful trip.

I visited before 6:00 p.m. on a weekday. When I went to the reception, I was told there was a one-hour wait due to full seating, but I was able to get in after about a 10-minute wait. The long wait can be spent killing time at the appealingly open hall with a Kessell from the Taisho era. The atmosphere is great, and you can enjoy Genghis Khan barbecue. You can place your order using a tablet on the table. There is an all-you-can-eat option, but ordering individual dishes was just the right amount. You can choose from Classic, Black Label, and Ebisu beer. Be careful as the medium-sized jug is 800mL. The thickness of the Genghis Khan meat was just right, not too thin or too thick, and had a satisfying texture. There was little smell, and it paired very well with beer. I felt full after one serving due to the fat content. Overall, I was satisfied with being able to eat a solid Genghis Khan in a charming hall. I think it's a place where tourists can enjoy themselves. I believe the cost performance is reasonable.

Sapporo Beer Garden, the largest beer hall in Sapporo! There are various venues such as Kessel Hall and Poplar Hall, not just one beer hall. This time, I visited the most popular Kessel Hall. Inside the brick building, I drank plenty of Ebisu Beer and Ebisu Black Beer! Even though the Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) wasn't particularly delicious, it was great to enjoy it with beer. The lamb meat had no unpleasant smell, and I realized that it was easy to eat even for people from mainland Japan because it was properly prepared. Despite the many tourists on the premises, Kessel Hall is a spacious place where you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. I will definitely come back!

Since getting infected with COVID, I hadn't been to the beer garden in a while. I decided to go back, and they had introduced a new high-priced course where you can try various cuts of fresh lamb! It's a different experience from before, being able to savor lamb meat as a roast. Adding the all-you-can-drink option increases the price a bit, but since the meat is delicious, I think the highest course is the best choice.

I visited during my trip to Sapporo. I made a reservation in advance through the official website and on the day of, I presented my reservation number at the reception before entering. It was a bit early, but there were already customers inside. Drinking classic cocktails in the atmospheric hall was amazing! I couldn't stop eating the Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) and ended up overeating!

I had delicious Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) without any unpleasant smell! Although it was difficult to make a reservation and we booked a late time slot, when we arrived one hour early, they accommodated us and seated us promptly. The Kessel Hall was quite smoky from the Genghis Khan, so our clothes ended up smelling, but the food was really tasty!

A trip to Sapporo. If you're heading to Sapporo, you can't miss this place. We went straight there after arriving at New Chitose Airport. It was lunchtime, so it was quite busy. I love the atmosphere of Kessel Hall with its big pot. It's smoky, but that adds to the charm. We were seated at a table for four. Orders are placed through a tablet, with the first order taken by the staff. Of course, we started with the classic. It's so delicious! Why is the beer at the Beer Garden so tasty? Let's try the raw lamb. It's tender and delicious, easy to eat. The vegetables are also great. The onions are sweet! The cabbage, bean sprouts, and bell peppers are all tasty. We kept ordering the classic beer. We also enjoyed the salted hormone and traditional Jingisukan. We had a great time at the Sapporo Beer Garden. The cherry blossoms in Sapporo were in full bloom. I was lucky to see the cherry blossoms twice this year.

I ordered the Lamb Genghis Khan Grilled Vegetable Set for 1,730 yen and the Traditional Genghis Khan Meat-Only for 1,300 yen. I came here to eat Genghis Khan and it is located inside the Sapporo Beer Garden. One of the highlights of this trip is eating authentic Genghis Khan. The iron plate shaped like Hokkaido enhances the travel mood. The meat was surprisingly not gamey at all, with no distinct smell. It was very easy to eat. You dip it in a sauce that is addictive and delicious. The fat from the meat drips onto the surrounding vegetables on the iron plate, making them tasty. Personally, I preferred the Traditional version as it was lighter and easier to eat. The combination with Sapporo beer is perfect. I was very satisfied with my first Genghis Khan experience.

I went. Genghis Khan. I wanted to eat, but couldn't go for various reasons. I made a reservation for 3:00 PM... starting in the daylight (^^)/ When I entered the restaurant, there was smoke everywhere! People who dislike it must really hate it. For me, the smell of cooking and the smoke already put me in the red zone before starting (sweat). All-you-can-drink beer, including Ebisu! Of course, you can also have the Hokkaido limited edition classic beer! The meat arrived. Of course, it's fresh lamb! I immediately started grilling it! Can't wait... I already finished a whole beer before it was cooked. Let's eat together! Delicious!!! It's a real luxury for us common folks. So delicious! No typical Genghis Khan smell at all. I could keep going. We kept ordering more and more! At some point, I started to be interested in the lamb chops outside the all-you-can-eat menu (sweat). I want to eat them... Let's go for it! I ordered 4 for 850 yen each. Everyone, if you can eat them, I highly recommend it! It was really delicious! Oh, what a luxury experience. Thank you for the meal (^^)/

On the second day of my trip to Hokkaido, I visited the same restaurant again, this time with a friend who loves beer and was trying Genghis Khan for the first time! I hoped that the previous experience was not just a fluke. Last time, I was able to enter smoothly with a reservation made 30 minutes in advance, so I was a bit careless this time. However, it was a holiday this time, and as expected, when I called, it was already too late, so I wasted about an hour before heading there. When I arrived about 30 minutes early, I browsed through some souvenirs. Although I was clearly told on the phone that I couldn't enter before the reservation time, I had a feeling that I might be able to get in somehow. I tried asking at the reception, and luckily they said they could accommodate us. I made a reservation and first went to the building with the reception. You need to tell them your reservation number and then you will receive a card to take to the hall where you made the reservation. Make sure not to make any mistakes. First, go to the reception building. Then, I sat down and, just like last time, ordered all-you-can-drink beer with à la carte dishes. Most likely, unless you are a pair of sports girls who eat a lot, it's better to go with à la carte. Last time, I ate without thinking and don't remember the total bill, but this time, I chose the standard all-you-can-drink. If you want to try various parts of lamb with all-you-can-eat, you have to choose the lamb all-you-can-eat, but women definitely can't eat enough to make it worth the price. Sorry for being stingy... My friends and even men often say that I eat a lot, but I couldn't handle the all-you-can-eat because I ate properly for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day while traveling (I only had a seafood bowl 4 hours before this day, but the leftovers from the previous night were still in my stomach, making me feel bloated...). So, we decided to order whatever we liked without worrying about the price! We ate and drank without worrying about the cost, and the total bill for two people was just over 10,000 yen. We were completely satisfied! Personally, I love the normal Genghis Khan and lamb loin because they are juicy and delicious! The traditional one lacks a bit of juiciness but is thin and light, making it easy to eat. And the long-awaited beer, I tried all of them except the black beer in order. Hmm, maybe I like the black label the best (back to the classic, haha) and I drank a lot of CLASSIC. The atmosphere is also great, with the iron pot shaped like Hokkaido being very cute. It gets crowded during meal times on holidays, so reservations are a must!
