First visit. There is a parking lot in front of the store for 1-2 cars. The interior of the store is small. Chicken curry costs 1000 yen, which is cheap. You can adjust the spiciness with cayenne pepper on the table, which is nice. It's good to have it available for when you need more. The curry is simple but creamy. It might be good for soup curry beginners. It's more about the umami than the spiciness. Thank you for the meal.

#Jackinthebox #North12jo #Sapporo Vegetable and Hamburger with Eggplant Curry (1200yen) + Topping Braised Pork (150yen). The spiciness is adjusted individually with cayenne pepper on the table. Pickles and lemon are included. At first, I didn't add extra spiciness and found it flavorful and delicious! Personally, I usually find that adding cayenne pepper later just makes it spicy without much flavor, so I was hesitant to add it. But when I tried it, it was delicious! The soup and spiciness blended well! The vegetables were tasty and the braised pork had a strong soy sauce flavor, very delicious! I should have chosen the braised pork curry! The hamburger was the only disappointment, the rice was soft. Weekdays after 6 pm, the place was empty, it took about 25 minutes from ordering to serving. Changing shoes to slippers at the entrance gave a very clean and homey feeling, very reassuring.

Near Kita 12-jo Station. There are many good restaurants around Kita 12-jo to Kita 24-jo stations. I visited this place because it opens at 11 am, earlier than other nearby restaurants. You take off your shoes before entering. The atmosphere in this old house is calming. For lunch, they offer chicken curry, vegetable curry, and braised pork curry. With a drink included, it costs 1000 yen including tax. I chose the braised pork curry. It came with a side of lemon and pickles. I usually pour the lemon over the rice when it's served like this. The curry soup was light and not too thick. It had a strong tomato base with clear spices, but not too sharp, just a strong umami flavor. I added cayenne pepper for extra spiciness. The restaurant allows you to adjust the spiciness yourself. Even with the added spice, the flavor remained intact. The ingredients matched well with the soup. The vegetables didn't get overshadowed by the curry flavor, which sometimes happens at other places. There were chunks of potatoes, fried carrots, bell peppers, lotus root, and broccoli. And the braised pork added a hint of Japanese flavor to the dish. The tender pork paired nicely with the curry. It was delicious. With many Sapporo soup curry restaurants charging over 1000 yen, this place offers a reasonable price with great taste. I would definitely visit again.

I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time after seeing Mairevi's review (^o^) Finally, I went! Soup curry is great because the prices are the same for lunch and dinner which is really convenient! (I always feel like I'm losing out when there are separate lunch menus, haha) They do have a lunch menu here, but it comes with a drink so no problem there! - Braised Pork Curry: You can adjust the spiciness yourself, so when served, it's a slightly sweet curry with a tomato base that's not too spicy, so even if you don't like spicy food, it should be fine! There's a whole chunk of potato in it, which is great for potato lovers (^o^) The vegetables were also delicious, meticulously deep-fried. The braised pork was bite-sized, easy to eat, and had a satisfying chewiness. It also comes with lemon and pickles on the side, which is a nice touch (^o^)♪ Everything is reasonably priced at under 1000 yen, and the soup is not lacking in quantity or vegetables, so I would love to come back to try another curry sometime♪

I ordered the pork cutlet curry since they don't serve lunch on Sundays. It's great that you can adjust the spiciness to your liking with cayenne pepper.

The restaurant has a natural lodge-like atmosphere. You take off your shoes before entering. We went as a family and ordered all at once, so it took a bit of time for the food to come out. But when the curry arrived, it was so luxurious! The soup curry was light and filled with plenty of fried vegetables. You can adjust the spiciness afterwards, so even kids can enjoy it! Even though I was already full, I couldn't help but finish it all... The eggplant was amazing! The chai tea after the meal was really delicious, but it made me too full! It's a happy dilemma. But it's not too heavy that it would cause indigestion.

I visited a curry restaurant near Hokkaido University that I had wanted to go to for a long time. There is a parking lot in front of the shop, but it's quite narrow. If you have a big car, you might not be able to park. Inside the shop, you have to take off your shoes and put on slippers. It's a small, cozy shop with a nice, cheerful BGM playing. The menu is very reasonably priced! I ordered the braised pork curry (900 yen) and also the special samosas (2 for 300 yen). After a short wait, the curry was served. The curry here uses cayenne pepper and crazy salt on the table for you to adjust the spiciness yourself. I tried it as it was at first. It's light but flavorful with a hint of tomato acidity. You can feel the spices but it's not too spicy, which is interesting. I really liked it! I added some cayenne pepper to make it spicier and sprinkled some salt, which really enhanced the flavor. Delicious! I prefer my braised pork to be tender, but here it's more chewy, which I still enjoyed. The vegetables were all good too. The bowl is deep, so the ingredients are quite submerged. It was more filling than it looked. I ordered the samosas a bit regretfully afterward (lol). It was my first time trying samosas, and they are made of a wheat flour crust filled with curry-flavored potatoes and fried. The potatoes were soft and tasty. If you like potatoes, you should try it. I was full and satisfied! Thank you for the meal. It was cheap, delicious, and very satisfying, more than I expected. Although it wasn't on the menu, I saw on the wall that they also have pork cutlet curry, so I want to try that next time. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal!

I tried to go to a restaurant where you can eat Indian curry for only one coin, but unfortunately it was closed for renovations. So, I searched for the closest soup curry restaurant and ended up here. As I drove, I thought it was in Higashi-ku, but I found the restaurant right there (laughs). There were two parking spaces in front of the store, but big cars won't fit. When I opened the door and entered, I had to take off my shoes, but the space was very narrow so only one person could enter or exit at a time. The cozy interior had Irish music playing softly, creating a calm atmosphere like an old folk house cafe. The floor was wooden and polished to a shine, which felt nice. They had a lunch menu, so I chose the chicken curry and added chai for an extra 200 yen. The curry bowl that came out was tear-shaped, while in the Higashi-ku days it was a regular round bowl. When I took a sip of the soup, there was no spiciness at all. The lack of spiciness makes it suitable for those who don't like spicy food or even children, but it still has a nice spiciness to it. I added two servings of cayenne pepper on the table and after tasting it, I felt it was a bit lacking, so I added one more and it became the perfect level of spiciness for me. "Oh, this, this, it's been a while." I hadn't eaten it in 10 years, but it was delicious. The method of adding spiciness after the dish is prepared, rather than during cooking, usually results in a sharp spiciness that I don't prefer, but strangely I didn't feel that here. The curry at this restaurant, which had been operating as a Sri Lankan curry place since before the move, is different from the typical Sapporo soup curry. When you think of Sri Lankan curry, [Sri Lanka Kyougawakoku] is famous, but the curry here has a mellow taste with the influence of coconut. Therefore, you can enjoy it without making it extremely spicy like other Sri Lankan curry restaurants. The chicken was not leg meat, but thigh meat cut into easy-to-eat pieces, tender and well-flavored. The vegetables were cooked according to their characteristics, but I prefer the bell peppers to be a bit firmer. The chai I had after the meal didn't come with a spoon, which raised my expectations. The reason being that I could tell sugar had been added. The chai was hot, which resulted in a film forming on top. I drank it slowly to avoid burning myself and thought, "Nice, this sweetness. This is chai!" My wife also nodded in agreement while drinking. Chai is meant to be drunk sweet, so I love it when restaurants serve it with this level of sweetness. When I mentioned that it was my first visit since the move, they told me they had been at this location for 7 years. The founder is Ken Komatsuzaki, a Sapporo-based hammered dulcimer player, who passed on the business to the current owner when his music activities became busier. The current store has been here for 7 years, but the establishment was in 1983, making it a 34-year-old restaurant. They also hold live performances regularly, so I hope to listen to live music someday. Thank you for the meal.

I've been curious about Raba Shin's recommendation for a while, but I finally visited the restaurant now. You have to take off your shoes before entering the shop. The prices are generally cheap. ★ Braised Pork Curry ¥900 You can adjust the spiciness with cayenne pepper. The soup is not too spicy, but has a rich flavor and taste. The price is reasonable and the portion size is good. The ingredients include braised pork, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, lotus root, and broccoli. I really liked the flavor of the braised pork. I loved this soup curry a lot! I will definitely go back again.

Today was my first time visiting this restaurant. The small interior required me to take off my shoes and change into slippers before being seated at a table to carefully read the menu. I ordered the braised pork curry with fried broccoli as a topping, along with soup. It seemed that the spiciness level couldn't be chosen, so I had to adjust it myself using the cayenne pepper provided on the table. When the soup curry arrived, I took a sip and found the thick soup quite satisfying. The only downside was that the braised pork was a bit tough. The fact that lemon was already included with the rice was a nice touch, and being able to mix and match flavors was a plus. Overall, it was very delicious.

The soup curry here allows you to adjust the spiciness and flavor yourself. They provide cayenne pepper and crazy salt on the table. It was an interesting experience to gradually make the soup curry taste just right. I think it would be fun for people who are used to eating soup curry to try it out. The service is lacking in energy, so for repeat visits... By the way, during lunchtime, it costs 980 yen with a drink, but I didn't want the drink, so I wanted to just pay the regular menu price of 900 yen...

"September 2015 Edition" It's been a while since I visited this soup curry restaurant, which left a good impression last time. This time, I decided to order the "Vegetable Curry (980 yen)" for lunch, trying to avoid repeating the same dish as last time, although I couldn't remember what I had ordered before. I also chose iced coffee to accompany the curry. The sound of frying coming from the kitchen raised my expectations. As I took the first bite, I could taste the tangy and flavorful soup. It seemed to be a combination of tomatoes and animal-based broth, giving it a unique taste. I adjusted the spiciness using the cayenne pepper on the table and added a punch with the Crazy Salt provided. The curry contained bell peppers, eggplant, shimeji mushrooms, lotus root, pumpkin, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. The rice was freshly cooked, and the meal ended with a refreshing cabbage pickle and a regular iced coffee. Although the presentation may not be fancy, the soup curry was solid and satisfying. I hope the restaurant continues to thrive despite its challenging location. Thank you for the meal. "June 2013 Edition" I visited this restaurant in the area for the first time, despite always being nearby. The parking lot was small, with space for only two compact cars, but I managed to find a spot. Inside, the cozy space had five tables, and the owner welcomed me with a warm atmosphere. The background music of guitar and violin ensemble added to the pleasant ambiance. For lunch, I chose the "Chicken" option from the three choices of "Chicken," "Pork," and "Vegetables" (880 yen each), which came with a drink. I opted for hot coffee this time. The kitchen sounds indicated careful preparation, and the presentation of the dish was impeccable. The first taste revealed a hint of fish flavor in the soup, followed by the acidity of tomatoes and the sweetness of vegetables. The ingredients included lotus root, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, and chicken breast chunks with some fat, providing a delightful texture. Adding the "Crazy Salt" to the rice in the second half of the meal surprisingly enhanced the flavor. The coffee, with the sound of grinding beans, was rich and sweet. Despite the challenge of offering such a meal at this price, I hope the restaurant continues to strive, possibly targeting university students in the area. I enjoyed a satisfying tomato-based soup curry for lunch. Thank you for the meal.

On June 8, 2015, it was sunny. I was interested in this soup curry restaurant, but they mentioned that you can adjust the spiciness yourself. As someone who loves spicy soup, I prefer the spiciness to be already mixed in and not added later. However, after seeing the reviews, I decided to visit. The interior of the restaurant was stylish like a country chic café, and I took off my shoes before entering. I looked at the menu and found that the lunch set with a drink was a good deal, so I ordered the chicken curry with iced coffee. It took less than 15 minutes from ordering to serving. The soup curry looked simple but delicious. When I tasted the soup, I felt it was a bit lacking in flavor with the acidity of the tomatoes and the grated vegetables. However, adding salt to the curry really brought out the flavors. There was Himalayan rock salt on the table, so I sprinkled some on, and it became very tasty. Since I still felt the spiciness was lacking, I added cayenne pepper from the table, which was fun to adjust the taste and spiciness to my liking. The chicken was sautéed chicken thigh pieces, and they were tender and flavorful. The boiled potatoes, carrots, deep-fried pumpkin, lotus root, bell pepper, and broccoli were all cooked perfectly and delicious. The rice was shiny and freshly cooked, and the lemon to squeeze over it and the pickles were a nice touch. After the meal, I had iced coffee, which was strong and refreshing. It was a delicious meal.

It used to be located along the old Ishikari Kaido road, but this soup curry restaurant has since moved near Hokkaido University. I visited the old location once, but it had been about 10 years since my last visit. The restaurant is small with only a few table seats. You need to change into slippers before entering. It was lunchtime, but there were no other customers. I ordered the lunch menu Chicken Curry (880 yen) with extra rice (+100 yen). The lunch menu includes a drink, making it a good deal. The soup was very light and watery, just as it looks. The flavor was not very strong, more on the gentle side. It was not very spicy, so I adjusted the heat level using the spices on the table. Increasing the spiciness made the soup taste even better. I recommend this place for those who like a light type of soup curry.

This is my first visit to this restaurant. It is located on Route 5 (Ishikari Sosei River Street), heading towards Asahikawa from Sapporo Station, turn left at the intersection of North 12 West 1, and it will be on the left just before the next intersection. If coming from the subway, it is a 3-5 minute walk east from North 12th Station. There is parking space for 2 cars in front of the store. The exterior looks like a building converted from an apartment. You take off your shoes at the entrance and enter, feeling like you are visiting someone's home. The interior can seat about 15 people, with a cozy atmosphere with wooden tones throughout. There is a Yamaha guitar displayed on the wall. They seem to have regular live performances on Thursdays, with flyers for live shows placed around (perhaps the owner also performs?). The restaurant is run by a couple. The menu includes basic items like Plain Curry (vegetables only), Chicken Curry, Braised Pork Curry, Sausage Curry, Hamburger Curry, and more. They also have unique items like Fish Curry and Special Salsa. They offer a variety of mixed menus as well. You can adjust the spiciness using cayenne pepper provided on the table. They also have something called "Crazy Salt" which you can add to the soup for an extra kick. I ordered the Braised Pork Curry with extra soup. The soup included braised pork, potatoes, bell peppers, carrots, as well as deep-fried broccoli, lotus root, and pumpkin. The soup had a nice balance of sweetness from onions, acidity from tomatoes, and a hint of seafood aroma. However, I didn't find it too spicy, so I added the cayenne pepper and Crazy Salt for more punch. The braised pork was slightly tough for my liking, but the assorted vegetables were cooked well. The deep-fried broccoli was a standout, crispy and delicious. Adding lemon to the soup and rice helped balance out the spiciness. Overall, the meal was satisfying, especially after adjusting the spiciness with the Crazy Salt. I recommend using the Crazy Salt for depth of flavor and then adjusting the spiciness accordingly. Be cautious if you are sensitive to spiciness.

This is a soup curry restaurant located near the North 12th Station behind the Jack in the Box. There is parking available for 1-2 cars, but only small cars can fit without protruding onto the sidewalk. You enter the restaurant by taking off your shoes and wearing slippers. The interior has a country-style feel with seating for about 10-12 people in 2-person and 4-person tables. The lunch special chicken curry is priced at 880 yen with a drink included, which is quite reasonable. It comes with white rice and a side of lemon and pickles. You can adjust the spiciness by adding rock salt and using the spices provided on the table. The chicken pieces are cut to the size of yakitori rather than a whole chicken leg. The soup has a Chinese broth base with a curry flavor that feels like it could be from a ready-made package. Unfortunately, the taste lacks depth, so I personally would not visit again.
