Seasonal vegetable curry at Shiba Shiba Soup is often topped with whole tomatoes for free. The soup is chicken-based, light and enjoyable for chicken lovers. The soup has a smooth texture, making it a bit difficult for the vegetables to blend in, giving the feeling of eating them separately. Among the toppings, the whole tomato paired best with the soup and was delicious. Even a small portion of rice is quite filling when paired with the soup curry, so it's recommended to visit when you're hungry. The rice medium portion was surprisingly large, and the hamburger was also quite filling. The service was friendly and excellent.

There was no wait and there was an empty parking space right in front, so today I had the Soft Chicken Curry at Okushiba Shoten. I chose level 6 spiciness. The soup is famous, but I'm not a big fan of shrimp, so I often go for the soup with lots of ingredients. The rice came in a small tea cup and the curry bowl was also small, making it a bit difficult to eat. I wish they had a plate for the bones.

The deep-fried vegetables were very delicious, and I had the shrimp soup with medium spiciness. The portion was generous, even though I asked for a small serving of rice. It was nice to be able to choose the level of spiciness and type of soup. I was impressed that I could also choose the amount of rice. Overall, it was incredibly tasty.

Today at lunch, I was driving while debating between getting a Chinese rice bowl or a dish with a thick starchy sauce. However, as I got close to the desired restaurant, I noticed that it was unexpectedly closed. Feeling a bit disappointed, I decided to park my car in the closed restaurant's parking lot and searched on my phone for another nearby option. I remembered a soup curry restaurant nearby that I wanted to try, so I drove there. It was only a 3-minute drive, but when I arrived, I saw that the parking lot was full. I managed to find one empty spot after circling around the building. The restaurant seemed quite busy, with only one other customer inside. I ordered the "Tender Chicken and Seasonal Vegetable Curry" which was a bit pricey at ¥1390. The portion of rice was average, and I chose a medium level of spiciness. I also added a lassi drink for ¥150 to reach the ¥1500 minimum for a PayPay coupon. The food arrived quickly, and I noticed that the rice was served in a bowl, which was a first for me. The curry was packed with various ingredients, making it seem like a good value for the price. The chicken was slightly tough, but the overall flavor was good. The curry had a nice level of spiciness, and the abundance of vegetables made up for the smaller portion of rice. I enjoyed the meal, and the lassi drink was refreshing. I used a coupon to get 107 points back, which made the overall experience slightly more affordable.

Vegetable sommelier Hasegawa's Seven-Color Curry. The spiciness level is 6 (+50 yen). The rice is regular. I chose the free topping of broccoli. The okra soup was delicious and packed with vegetables. It was quite filling. Unfortunately, they didn't ask if I wanted lemon this time. I usually have it, but they must have forgotten this time. I would be happy if they had a stamp card service.

Traveling to Hokkaido for both leisure and business, my partner and the company president and I went out together. It's been a while since the three of us went on a business trip together, so we decided to try a nostalgic soup curry restaurant, "Okushiba Shouten Maesou Branch". It was convenient for both lunchtime and traveling, so we decided to visit. I was looking forward to trying soup curry after a long time. I ordered the Soft Chicken and Seasonal Vegetable Curry, where you can choose various toppings even for just one curry. First, the soup. While the original Ebisu soup is recommended, I'm not a big fan of shrimp, so I opted for the chicken broth. I chose the level 4 spiciness, which I can handle, but it was my first time at this restaurant. The president surprised me by choosing level 8 spiciness! Can you handle it all, President?! Haha. I ordered a small portion of rice with normal white rice. The level 4 spiciness had a good balance of spiciness and umami, making my body feel warm. The vegetables were soft and plentiful, so personally, I felt like I didn't need rice and wanted to eat more vegetables. The chicken was tender and soaked in the soup, and the umami of the chicken also blended well with the soup. It was spicy but the spiciness was manageable. The president let me taste the Okuoku soup, which was very shrimpy! I'm glad I chose the chicken broth. For shrimp lovers, I recommend the Okuoku soup. Even at level 8 spiciness, it wasn't too spicy, more like a spiciness that complements the spiciness of the soup, making it easy to eat with a slight spiciness that comes later. The mango lassi was a bit disappointing. I mixed the light-colored syrup-like substance at the bottom thoroughly, but it was a bit off... powdery, not really mango-like. It would have been better plain. But the curry was simply delicious. You can get plenty of vegetables and drink the soup.

There was a visitor from outside the area, so I thought if I were to have lunch in Sapporo now, it would be soup curry, so I decided to visit this place in Honcho, Makomanai. It's a convenient location with a few parking spaces behind the building, so you can feel at ease even if you come by car. Due to the visitor's flight schedule, we arrived at the restaurant early, and after we entered, several other customers arrived one after another, showing that it is indeed a popular place. Looking at the menu, I chose the "Tender Chicken Curry." The soup seemed to be the basic one here, called the "Okukoku Soup." I requested a spice level of 5. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be served, so we didn't have to wait long. The large chunks of vegetables looked very appetizing. When I tasted the soup, I could feel a unique sweetness. Of course, I could also taste the spiciness and the seafood flavor promised by the Okukoku Soup, but the sweetness seemed to dominate, making it a bit difficult for me to fully appreciate the taste. I wonder if it would have been different if I had ordered a higher spice level? The soup was certainly delicious, but it didn't quite match my idea of delicious soup. This is probably a matter of personal preference, so this is just my own impression. The chicken leg was tender and flavorful, and the other vegetables, being large in size, brought out their natural umami flavor. Recently, due to various reasons, I have been consciously trying to eat more vegetables, and when I think about eating vegetables deliciously and in sufficient quantities, hot pot dishes and soup curry seem to be the perfect choices. I think the soup probably contains a fair amount of fat, but when you eat this much vegetables, the guilt somehow fades away (laughs). The interior of the restaurant seems to be in an old building that has been renovated, but the age adds to the charm of the place. The service was attentive and we had a pleasant time there. However, it may not be my first choice for soup curry. Thank you for the meal.

I went with a family who came to play from the mainland to Sapporo. Soup curry is a specialty of Hokkaido, so there are often long lines at famous restaurants. This restaurant is located in the suburbs, so the waiting time is not too long. We were able to enter without waiting in line. The taste is at the same level as the famous restaurants, so we are very satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

I always visit this shop during events at Makomanai Ice Arena! You can relax in the tatami room. Each shop seems to have its own original menu. There is also a Sekoma nearby, so you can fully enjoy Sapporo! The photos are... the first one was taken at another shop, and the second one is from Shin-eiso.

Went sightseeing at Lake Shikotsu. Discovered a restaurant on the way back to Sapporo. The vegetables were chunky and the flavor was intense. The soup had a strong shrimp broth. It paired perfectly with the vegetables and croquette. As the name suggests, slurping the soup and nibbling on the vegetables left me feeling full. Even with less rice, the substantial ingredients filled me up. Paid with PayPay. The staff at the restaurant were very kind and helpful.

I have been to other stores of Aochi Shouten before, but this store was my first time. It is located in the suburbs, so even during Golden Week, there was no line and I was able to sit down right away. I ordered the classic Chicken Leg Vegetable Soup Curry. I chose the spice level 2, which was slightly spicy and just right for me. I think it was spicier than I expected, so it might be better to choose a milder spice level.

I hesitated because it was crowded, but I finally went to Okushiba Shoten. It seems they want to liven up Makomanai Honcho with the nearby ice cream shop and liquor store. In the past, there used to be a supermarket, a bowling alley, and a bar district that thrived here. There is a parking lot behind the building, but there is no direct entrance from there, so you have to walk around the building. There were 4 customers including 2 men I entered with. I ordered the popular menu item, "Tender Chicken Curry" for 1,150 yen, with a side of Okoku soup, spiciness level 4, and regular portion of rice (200g) with a free topping of okra. The dish was served quickly. The presentation was quite colorful. The egg was cold, the eggplant was surprisingly good, and the pumpkin was sweet. The chicken wasn't as tender as I expected, but the flavor was good. The shrimp flavor in the soup was a bit strong at times, and I felt it could be toned down a bit. Level 4 spiciness was not very spicy, so even spicier options could be enjoyable. The rice should not have been served like that, maybe it depends on how it is cooked. Overall, it was a decent meal.

The soup curry here is very delicious and satisfying. Highly recommended for tourists. The curry itself has a flavorful taste, and the combination of ingredients in each dish is also very tasty. I ordered the vegetable curry, and it was definitely filling. The staff at the restaurant are friendly, making it a comfortable dining experience. While there are many delicious soup curry restaurants in Hokkaido, this is one that I highly recommend.

I can't stop loving shrimp soup curry. This time, I went to Okushiba Masae-so for the second time. It's not crowded, probably due to its location, so the service is fast and the taste is consistently delicious. It's not easy to get to this place, but if I have the chance, I will definitely go again.

This was my first visit to this store. There is a parking lot at the back of the store, so I parked there, circled around, and entered. When I went to the main store before, there was a long line, but this time it was empty, maybe because of the timing. The Bottom Zangi Curry with Shibashiba Soup and 5 levels of spiciness topping was delicious as always. It's great that it's packed with vegetables, but even if you order a small portion of rice, it's still a lot overall, so it would be nice if they had options for those who eat less.笑

This was my first visit to this restaurant, which I have always wanted to go to as I often drive by. I really enjoyed the soup curry at Okushiba Shoten, as each store has a different concept, which I found exciting. There is parking available in front of the store as well as in the back. When I entered the restaurant, I was guided to a sunken kotatsu table. The service was polite and there were several other customers inside. The interior was larger than it appeared from the outside and a bit dark, giving off a vibe that it may have been a yakiniku restaurant in the past. I ordered the Okushiba hamburger curry with level 4 spiciness, the "Oku Oku" soup, and broccoli as a free topping. I also ordered the Botomu Zangi curry with level 4 spiciness, the "Shibashiba" soup, and broccoli. The dishes arrived in about 5 to 10 minutes, which was quite fast. The taste was absolutely delicious. Personally, I preferred the Shibashiba soup, and the hamburger was tender and flavorful. The Zangi had a good volume and taste.

I didn't notice when it was built. I was surprised, but once I found it, I had to visit right away. The parking lot is a bit hard to find, but it's like circling around to park right behind the building. When I entered the store, I could smell the shrimp broth, but I got used to it gradually. The presentation was similar to the main store. I was happy to see a lemon served with the rice. I used the raised seating area, and there were old photos of Makomanai placed on the tables and walls, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Located near Toyohiragawa River in Makomanai-dori, it seems like a place you can only reach by car. I ordered the Okushiba Hamburg Curry made with Soya beef. I opted for the seafood soup with sakekasu blended in for an additional 100 yen. It has a nice sake aroma. I also chose the sake rice for an extra 100 yen. It has a sticky texture, and while I can't say the rice itself is delicious, it has a nice aroma and a rare quality that I like. I recommend this place to those who want to explore new flavors with soup curry.

I heard that the son of someone I know a little bit is working at this place, so I decided to try out the soup curry at Okushiba for the first time. When I entered the restaurant, I used hand sanitizer for disinfection and then waited a bit. The back table seats were full, so I was guided to a large table to ensure proper distancing. The menu was explained to me with care, and I ordered the B set which included seasonal vegetable curry with a normal level of spiciness and 200g of rice. In less than 10 minutes, the curry was served on my table, filled with vegetables like lotus root, daikon radish, carrot, okra, potato, zucchini, cabbage, red bell pepper, and boiled egg. I enjoyed the soup curry by sipping the broth first and then eating the vegetables. The vegetables were delicious, possibly sourced from a nearby vegetable shop and Sasaki Farm at Lake Toya. The rice was to my liking, slightly soft. The shrimp soup was so tasty that I didn't get tired of it. The two side dishes were refreshing pickled vegetables. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and I look forward to trying their colorful seasonal vegetable curry in the future.

Today, I went to a place called Okushiba Shoten in Minami Ward, Makomanai. It's a restaurant with a casual atmosphere, and the menu is very simple. Since the menu was limited, I ordered the Chicken Vegetable Curry. They didn't offer extra soup, which was disappointing for a soup lover like me. There were three types of soups available - shrimp soup, a creamy soup based on shrimp, and a chicken-based soup called Shibashiba Soup. For those with shellfish allergies, the only option is to choose the Shibashiba Soup. The dish came in a slightly smaller bowl with vegetables and chicken, giving it a hearty appearance. This time, I chose the Chicken Soup with a spice level of +6. The soup had a strong chicken flavor, and despite the +6 spice level, it was more on the mellow side rather than being heavily spiced. The consistency of the soup was between thick and thin, leaning towards the thinner side. The spice level was not satisfying, but it was delicious. The chicken was well cooked and blended nicely with the soup, although it lacked a crispy texture. The ingredients included eggplant, pumpkin, bell pepper, carrot, bok choy, tomato, zucchini, shimeji mushrooms, and boiled egg, all well-cooked and blended well with the soup. Especially the pumpkin had a great natural flavor. Thank you for the delicious soup curry. However, the service was not great, as the explanation of spice level and ingredients was lacking, making it difficult for us to decide what to order. It would be easier for customers if the staff had a better understanding of the menu.
