Today, I visited YAKINIKU BAR TAMURA near the former Hokkaido Government Office. I was torn between choosing lamb, but this time I ordered the Hormone Trio Plate for 1080 yen and a Dewar's Highball for 480 yen. The trio included beef tripe, beef hormone, and pork hormone. Personally, I preferred the beef hormone, but the pork was also delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On weekend nights, there were many foreigners as customers. The staff seemed quite unfriendly, and I was surprised by the very small bean sprout namul dish for 580 yen, so I decided not to order anything else. They seemed to be promoting locally sourced meat, but it wasn't particularly delicious. The bento boxes for takeout displayed next to the register looked very appetizing.

The other day, I went to a different yakiniku restaurant and the meat was disappointing, which made me feel sad. To make up for that, I came here. I love coming to Tamura for lunch because it's a great deal with soup and salad included. I ordered the marinated yakiniku lunch and the 3 cuts selection lunch. I chose beef tongue, beef loin slices, and skirt steak. The rice was average, I wish they would use better quality rice. I really enjoyed the skirt steak and beef loin slices. I like tender meat, and Tamura's sauce is delicious. The soup had a gentle flavor as usual. The kimchi was a nice palate cleanser while waiting for the meat to cook. I also ordered a beer for 250 yen in a small glass, which was perfect for lunch. I always consider getting a rice bowl, but end up choosing yakiniku. Maybe next time. Thank you for the meal.

Second time. Still can't warm up to Tamura here. Price increase is understandable, but honestly, paying 1,680 yen for this content is not worth it. On this day, I took my nephew to Sapporo. He wanted to eat yakiniku, so we tried going to Prime, but they were only accepting reservations that day. I wanted to go to Silk Road, but I was avoiding shopping at Satsueki, so going to Kuwon for lunch and then coming back would be a hassle. Walking to Odori would also be a bit much. Oh well. So, I ended up here at Tamura again, despite saying no to returning last time. It was a Sunday lunchtime, but there were empty seats, so we were able to get in without a reservation. Looking at the lunch menu, the Kalbi feast lunch I ordered last time was no longer available. Overall, the prices have gone up, which is understandable, but there was nothing on the lunch menu that caught my eye. I thought about just getting the regular Gyudon (900 yen). But then, my companion insisted on treating me, so he told my nephew to order whatever he wanted. They both ended up ordering the Kalbi & Sagari yakiniku lunch, with extra rice for free. My companion ordered the seared yakiniku lunch for 1,200 yen. It took about 13-14 minutes for the food to be served due to the crowd. The Kalbi & Sagari yakiniku lunch for 1,680 yen lacked rice. The rice was a bit disappointing for this price range. It was shiny and firm, but the color was slightly yellowish. When I tried it, I couldn't say it was delicious rice!! As I mentioned before, I was disappointed with the rice. It's obvious, but I think the quality of rice should be the same whether you order an expensive menu or not. Even in the more reasonable range of lunches at Tamura, I felt disappointed, so if I were to pay over 3,000 yen for lunch and receive this rice, I might be even more disappointed. Just to be clear, it's not that the rice isn't delicious, it's decently tasty rice. The rice I find delicious is the kind that I can eat just the rice alone, without any side dishes, but this wasn't it. Thinly sliced Kalbi. The quality of the meat is good, but since it's thin, it cooks quickly. It seems to be using the same meat as the seared lunch. I felt like I didn't eat much of the Kalbi, which was disappointing. The Sagari was tasty. It had almost no smell and was of good quality. The miso soup. When I had just the miso soup, the dashi had a subtle fragrance, which was nice, but unfortunately, after eating yakiniku or kimchi, it felt a bit weak. I wrote a lot, but the sauce was quite delicious!!! The sauce was so good that I felt like taking some home. Thanks to this sauce, I was able to enjoy the rice. It was a delicious sauce that made the rice go down smoothly. I also asked the staff for some gochujang to add, and it doubled the deliciousness. Hmm, the sauce was delicious, but unless I really want yakiniku in this area, I probably won't come back this time.

During my stay in Sapporo, my daughter was busy getting nail and eyebrow perm treatments to enhance her feminine charm. On the last day of our stay, my daughter was unavailable due to her eyebrow perm, so my son and I enjoyed sushi for lunch at Hokkaido Shrine. When trying to meet up with my daughter near Odori Station, she said she was hungry and decided to eat alone at Akaren Terrace! I thought she would go to the food court for Sundubu, but she ended up at this restaurant instead. She really loves yakiniku. It might feel a bit lonely to eat yakiniku alone, right? So she opted for the yakiniku bowl set. She was disappointed to find eggplant under the meat (she doesn't like eggplant) and set it aside, but she managed to finish the rest beautifully. She wished I was there to eat the eggplant. The cost-performance ratio was average, and she was surprised that she could have a solo lunch. It was a pleasant meal.

I visited a new restaurant for lunch today and they had a great lunch menu. I ordered the "seared" yakiniku lunch set. The marbled kalbi beef was thinly sliced and delicious when quickly seared. Despite it being a weekday, the restaurant was quite busy. Thank you for the meal!

If you're looking for an easy-to-find location with good access, this underground restaurant is a stylish place to visit. The atmosphere inside is bright and welcoming. They offer a variety of lunch options, including BBQ with prices ranging from affordable to higher-end. I tried the half cold noodles and BBQ bowl with salad, and it was quite filling. The meat was tender and delicious. The dessert was also tasty! If they had cafe lattes, it would be perfect!

I made a reservation for around 6:30 pm on a Saturday in August 2022. I returned to Sapporo after a long time and made a reservation to catch up with a friend. I accidentally booked the premium yakiniku course, which I had been wanting to try for a while. There were about 4 groups of customers before us, all eating quietly. I ordered a Sapporo Classic beer, which was refreshing on a slightly hot day. The salad, namul, grilled vegetables, and meat started coming one after another. The salad had a refreshing dressing, the namul was flavorful with black pepper, and the kimchi was tangy. When I bit into the meat, the juices were amazing. The pumpkin was soft and delicious. Next came the meat. The American beef tongue was delicious. The hormone meat should be cooked on the side to prevent flare-ups. The hormone meat had a nice texture and the fat melted in my mouth. I savored each piece of meat slowly. The thick cuts had a satisfying chew. I listened to my friend talk about breaking up with his girlfriend as I ate. I encouraged him to eat good food and cheer up. The cold noodles arrived. They were thick and chewy, and tasty. For dessert, there was ice cream and almond jelly, with a mild sweetness that was easy to eat. Finally, we were served tea. Although I was a bit bothered by the service intervals of the staff, the food was delicious. I left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch one day. I remembered how delicious and cost-effective the lunch menu was at the main store in Bihoro-cho, Okhotsk Subprefecture, so I decided to visit again. Since it was just after opening, I was seated at a 4-person table by myself. There was a grill on the table, and I was tempted by the yakiniku set, but I had plans in the afternoon so I decided to order the steak bowl & cold noodles half set for 1580 yen, as I didn't want to smell like grilled meat. The main store was more reasonable, I think, but in Sapporo, it feels a bit expensive. After a short wait, the food was brought out. First, the steak bowl. The amount of meat may seem a bit small at first glance, but it is tender and the seasoning is good. And then, the cold noodles. Personally, I highly recommend the cold noodles! The noodles are chewy and refreshing, very delicious. After enjoying the steak bowl, it's nice to settle your stomach with the cold noodles. Thank you for the meal.

Tamura-san, who has a good impression of the thick-cut Toro Tongue from Hokkaido, ordered a new set menu that includes it. Although it was stated to be for 2 to 3 people, the amount of meat was enough for one person, around 400g. The tongue was delicious as always, but the fillet was a bit disappointing.

I visited with a Smile Coupon. I was set on having the absolute barbecue lunch, but ended up bowing down to the recommended sirloin steak lunch. It was a bit over budget, so disappointing. I had high expectations from the photos, but...huh? It was smaller than I thought. Quite disappointing. The taste was, of course, very delicious. No excess fat, and the cooking was perfect. However, the image from the photos... Next time, I'll stick to the reliable barbecue lunch.

The central location means high rent and expensive meat prices, but even considering that, I wasn't satisfied. The White Stone store was not like this about five years ago. The meat they boast about is not as impressive as in the photos, and the fact that it's not cooked over charcoal is understandable due to the building. However, the meat doesn't taste good even when cooked. The Sagari Set with various cuts of Hokkaido beef costs 3800 yen, the three types of offal (pork, beef, beef mino) cost 1080 yen, the low-temperature cooked roast of Hokkaido Wagyu with soy sauce pickled onions and mountain wasabi costs 1480 yen, the Galbi Junk Cup costs 1080 yen, and the salt cold noodles cost 980 yen. The cold noodle soup is good.

After the gym, we had yakiniku! We ordered the Kalbi and Sagari Yakiniku Lunch for 1,580 yen, which came with rice, soup, salad, kimchi, and grilled vegetables. There was also the Marinated Yakiniku Lunch for 1,680 yen, with the same sides. You can choose from large, medium, or small rice portions - I chose medium. All the meats were delicious, but the thinly sliced Japanese beef Kalbi was the best! The salad, soup, kimchi, and grilled vegetables were all just the right amount. The grilled vegetables included onions, potatoes, and pumpkin. They also served warm tea after the meal, which was a nice touch. Having yakiniku for lunch is such a treat. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Yakiniku Bar Tamura. I went to my beloved Tamura for work. I ordered the steak bowl & cold noodles set. The Hokkaido beef steak was tender and delicious. I think the cold noodles at this restaurant are the most delicious (I used to dislike cold noodles until I tried them here and now I love them). I actually love the hamburger steak for lunch here, but due to the impact of COVID-19, the menu has been reduced and the hamburger steak was not available, which was disappointing. I hope it will make a comeback.

I made a reservation online to use the GO TO Eat program and visited the restaurant. I ordered the Kalbi & Sagari yakiniku lunch for 1436 yen (excluding tax) and the dishes arrived in a few minutes. The Sagari had a good thickness and was quite satisfying. The Kalbi was a bit thin for my liking, but there were plenty of slices so I was satisfied with the portion size. I thought it would be nicer if the slices were a bit thicker when eating. The onions, potatoes, and yellow bell peppers were delicious, and the rice was also tasty. I wished there was a bit more kimchi, and the salad was refreshing. The view was nice, so I was able to enjoy my lunch in a pleasant atmosphere.

After starting to have meals with a popular YouTuber living in Sapporo, they requested meat, so I called Amex to ask for a highly recommended meat restaurant in Sapporo, and was referred to Mr. Tamura. Despite seeing on Tabelog that the taste and service were rated poorly, I hesitated whether to cancel. Since the other party is a popular YouTuber, it would be difficult to arrange another appointment. I reluctantly went to Mr. Tamura's restaurant, but was guided to the best seat by the window as requested. The seat pleased the YouTuber, and we were immediately served with the meat we had chosen in advance by email. It was served quickly, but I was worried if it was okay. However, it turned out to be piping hot on the iron plate. The way the meat was cooked was also very good. It was a rare cut from Hokkaido, and it melted in my mouth. The YouTuber was also in high spirits. I thought it was really delicious. Additionally, we received a free soft drink with a coupon, but the staff informed us that drinks were currently free due to a campaign, and that we would receive a free cake after the meal. I didn't have high expectations for the free cake, but it was really delicious. The staff's service was also excellent. In this way, we enjoyed the best location, delicious meat, and cake. An additional drink was only 99 yen, which was cheap. I felt ashamed for hesitating to cancel after seeing Tabelog. By the way, we also received a free 2-hour parking ticket. Furthermore, with Gotoeat, we received 1500 T-points. I don't know if the staff improved based on the reviews, but I think this was the best cost performance. I often dine out, but this was on par with a 15,000 yen class meat in Kobe. Mr. Tamura is truly amazing. It was the best. Thanks to that, the conversation was lively. Thank you for the treat. I vow to visit again.

The Go To EAT campaign has been a great help to me. Recently, I have been using Go To Eat to make reservations for lunch (which is like breakfast for me) and today I went to enjoy some exciting yakiniku at "YAKINIKU BAR TAMURA" at Red Brick Terrace. It's a popular place, but thanks to my reservation, I was seated at a wonderful table with a great view without any wait. I had already decided what to order - the Kalbi & Sagari yakiniku lunch for 1,300 yen, the Tonton yakiniku lunch for 900 yen, additional Shiretoko chicken thigh meat for 680 yen, and 2 coffees for 100 yen each. I also used a coupon to get 2 mini parfaits. The meat arrived at the table soon and I enjoyed grilling it and even savored the final parfait. It was a delicious meal. Thank you. P.S. I was impressed by how neatly the toothpicks were arranged! It was the first time I had seen them lined up like that!

After a year since moving due to a job transfer, I finally visited YAKINIKU BAR TAMURA, produced by the renowned butcher shop Tamura. The original Tamura Butcher Shop was established in 1927 in Bihoro, Hokkaido. Bihoro, located in eastern Hokkaido, is blessed with a rich food environment, including seafood from the Okhotsk Sea and locally grown vegetables. With the motto of "delivering delicious excitement to customers," they carefully select famous wagyu beef from all over Japan, using the skills honed here. I came for lunch to enjoy BBQ that is hard to replicate at home. - Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap with Onsen Tamago: Local beef sukiyaki with a perfect amount of marbling, cooked with ginger and sweet sauce, served with half-cooked egg, namul, bean sprouts, and kimchi. The homemade kimchi was mild in bitterness and acidity, making it easy to eat. The sukiyaki beef was tender and delicious. - Mini Salt Cold Noodles: I added this to my lunch menu for an extra 200 yen. The cold noodles have a hint of sweetness and acidity from apple vinegar, making it refreshing. The rice served here is Yumepirika from Hokkaido, allowing you to enjoy Hokkaido beef and rice together. I'm feeling satisfied and ready to tackle the rest of the day, even though I might have reached my limit. Let's power through the afternoon and fight off the drowsiness!

I felt like eating the thick-cut Toro-tan provided by Tamura-san, so I revisited the restaurant. Last time, I ordered the rib roast thinking it would have a slight marbling due to being Hokkaido A5, but it turned out to be quite fatty and I struggled a bit. This time, I switched up the members and tried again. Starting with the thinly sliced tongue seasoned with salt, followed by the thick-cut Toro-tan, egg soup in between, regular salted Harami, and finishing with fillet. The tongue seasoned with salt had a good balance of meatiness, umami, and texture, while the fillet had the deliciousness of lean meat combined with the richness of marbling, making it a satisfying taste.

I'm so disappointed!! This restaurant has a lot of potential, which makes it even more disappointing. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of the Red Brick Terrace. I had some Sapporo Smile Coupons to use up, so I decided to visit, but... Tamura. When it comes to meat, it's Tamura. The meat at Tamura is delicious. Maybe this is a preconception, but since it originated in Bihoro, Koshimoro, this restaurant, which is directly operated by a butcher, is known for its tasty meat. I have good memories of the Kikusui and Bissey stores. I parked my car in the underground parking of the Red Terrace, took the elevator to the 3rd floor, and arrived at Tamura. I arrived as soon as they opened, and there were no other customers. I stayed for about 40 minutes, and there were still no other customers. This pretty much sums up everything. I was seated at a good table by the window with a view of the prefectural office. I decided to change my plans and increase my budget for the following order: - Kalbi Three-Kind Yakiniku Lunch 1,980 yen (tax included) - Sagari Yakiniku Lunch 1,100 yen (tax included) - Lunch Cold Noodles 220 yen (tax included) Total of 3,300 yen. The quality of the meat in the Kalbi Three-Kind Lunch was exceptionally high. All of them were Hokkaido Wagyu beef: - Kalbi (main dish) - This was amazing. The best taste with any condiment. - Thinly sliced Wagyu Kalbi (marinated) - This was a good accompaniment to rice. - Wagyu Negi Shio Nakaochi - This was superb. Are you a steak? Too good. I was very satisfied with the meat. The problem was everything else. - Kimchi - It was spicy and solid, not bad, but the spiciness was too strong. - Salad - The daikon salad was good, but... it was not good. I wanted lettuce. - Soup - What is this!? Tasteless, lacking. I put some pepper in it from the table, but this soup is not good. - Rice: Yumepirika - The grains are small, slightly sticky, sweet, and soft. It's Yumepirika, as I confirmed in the menu. The choice of Yumepirika itself is not bad. The problem is the way it was cooked. It's difficult to cook Yumepirika well, and in this case, wouldn't Nanatsuboshi be better!? A restaurant that can make Yumepirika delicious is a rare find even for a Hokkaido resident like me. What I'm trying to say is that a delicious yakiniku restaurant needs delicious rice, and even if it's not the top-tier Yumepirika, Nanatsuboshi might be more suitable for this restaurant. This is just my opinion. Tamura should not compromise and should serve delicious food! The lunch cold noodles were labeled as salt cold noodles, but I couldn't eat it. I thought it might be delicious cold noodles, but I do not recommend it. Also, you have to ask for Kochujang or garlic, they don't bring it automatically, and there was no explanation about it. However, they brought the apron without me asking, which was good. The most disappointing thing was the attitude of the staff. They lacked energy and motivation. This lack of enthusiasm was evident. No spirit, no motivation. No one would feel like going back with this kind of service. No repeat visits. I just used up a 3,000 yen smile coupon ticket.
