I finished work a little early in April 2016. It was past 9 PM. I stopped by to do some shopping and saw a sign for half-priced grilled chicken. They must be trying to sell off the leftovers. I bought about 20 skewers of tsukune, bibai yakitori, chicken skewers, etc. for just under 1000 yen. I'll give half of them to the kids as a snack. When I got home, I heated them up in the microwave. I cracked open a beer and drank the first one straight from the can because I was feeling lazy. From the second one onwards, I poured it into a glass to make some foam. I enjoyed the grilled chicken with some hot mustard and pepper, while the beer went down smoothly. By the time I was drinking a highball, I was already looking through the fridge. Grilled chicken at half price in one hand and a drink in the other. Ah, cheers to another hard day. I buy them occasionally and bring them home. Thank you very much!

Welcome.---------- March 2016 ----------Before, there was a small tea shop at this location, but now it has been replaced by a charcoal izakaya called "En no Yakitori Tsukune Zangi". They specialize in takeout of grilled chicken skewers and zangi, with the popular "salt zangi" being sold for 88 yen almost every day. If you buy the grilled chicken to eat here, it's best to warm it up, otherwise it will be tough. The eat-in area is small and somewhat dirty, not just the fault of the store but also due to the supermarket's cleaning staff. If it's dirty, you can clean it yourself. The atmosphere is not very comfortable, so I wouldn't eat here unless I had to, but the staff, especially the lady, has a nice smile and provides good service. The taste of the food is good, especially the unique "leba katsu paste" that seems to be molded and fried into a long, flat cutlet. It's crispy with a sweet takoyaki sauce, and it's better than the skewers. The salt zangi, a takeout staple, is large and about 30% batter. It could be improved by removing some of the batter before frying to make it more uniform. The grilled chicken skewers and skewer bento are both good, but the latter is a better deal for the price. Thank you for the meal.

The texture of motsu is quite good, and it's nice to be able to try different parts of the chicken on one skewer. The salt seasoning is just right and easy to eat. ▼Impressions▼ En is a takeout store located in various supermarkets in Sapporo, offering a variety of yakitori and fried foods such as zangi. They also operate an izakaya business under the same name, which is popular for its yakitori. I often find myself falling into the trap of buying something from En after shopping at the supermarket, as they cleverly attract customers. This time, I tried the Bibai yakitori that had caught my eye before. The taste of motsu, which I don't usually eat, was surprisingly delicious and enjoyable. I'm sure I'll visit again after shopping at a supermarket in the future.

I decided to take a break and satisfy my hunger while shopping at Super Arks. The customer service was great, with the staff being friendly and energetic even towards customers like me who don't buy much. I bought just one piece of senbei and one negima skewer. I took a bite of the negima skewer at first, but felt that it would taste better if reheated in the microwave, and indeed, the flavor improved after reheating. The meat was tender and well-marinated, without any medicinal or gamey taste. However, I personally felt that it would taste better with salt and pepper instead of the sauce. The senbei, with its crispy chicken skin coating, was a great snack to enjoy with beer. The oil from frying and the chicken skin's fat oozed out gently. The dining area, though, was not very clean, with dirty tables and chairs, which made sitting down somewhat uncomfortable. They also sold takoyaki and soft serve, making it convenient for a quick snack during shopping. ☆☆☆Preview of Next Visit☆☆☆ I hope they can make the eat-in area more comfortable.

I visited Super Arks for the first time at the beginning of June 2022. I had planned to just pass through since I had already eaten a lot, but ended up buying something (lol). I had a bite in the car and the rest is for takeout. It's cheap, delicious, and unbeatable. Even when it's cold, it's tasty and has great cost performance. I have to admit though, the chicken skin karaage was a bit heavy for me (⌒-⌒; ) Thank you for the meal♪

In the Mihoho area, there is a shop inside the Super Arcs Mihoho store. I bought a bento box here for dinner while shopping at Arcs. The showcase displays yakitori and other items, but many were sold out as it was close to closing time. I purchased the "Mixed Bento (398 yen)" shown in the photo and various yakitori. The bento was 30% off due to a closing sale, making it a good deal. The bento contained yakitori and fried foods, offering a decent amount of food. Each dish was tasty, making the 398 yen price tag feel worth it. Overall, the prices are reasonable, making it a good option for enjoying yakitori at home.

Last September, I was hospitalized again in April for treatment of a difficult illness, following hospitalizations in January and last year. The supportive comments from everyone were a source of energy for me during my hospital stay. I am truly grateful. I was discharged in May, but during a recent check-up, the doctor mentioned the possibility of another hospitalization. If I do not recover by the next appointment in June, the doctor recommended another hospitalization. Due to receiving the COVID vaccine, my scheduled treatment cannot proceed for one month. I confirmed with Sapporo City about the vaccine schedule, and for those aged 65 to under 74, it is expected to be completed by the end of February next year. For those under 64, priority is given to those with underlying conditions, with vaccinations scheduled to start from March next year. Prime Minister Suga mentioned that vaccinations for those aged 65 and above will be completed by July this year, but it seems that Sapporo has received only a small amount of the COVID vaccine, so it will be delayed by 7 months to February next year. I will likely be hospitalized depending on the situation with the COVID vaccine. Thank you for your continued support.

This store is located on the first floor of Super Arcs Maeho Store along Kitahachi Street in Higashi Ward, Sapporo. Please check the exact location of the store on Tabelog. I visited around 2 pm on a weekday. There were 2 customers before me and 1 customer after me. "Takeout Specialty Store Bibai Yakitori and Side Dishes En" offers daily discounted items at each store. The discounted item on the day of my visit was "Salt Zangi," which I naturally took advantage of. - Salt Zangi: Made with Hokkaido-raised young chicken, lightly salted. The coating is thin. When heated, it becomes crispy on the outside. A very reasonable price at 322 yen. The chicken at "En" is sourced from Hokkaido, ensuring safety. The chicken is tender. It was a great deal with the daily discounted item. It was a delightful service item from the morning. Overall, it was the 7th cheapest among 41 stores. Personally, my favorite item at "En" is the "Half Fried Young Chicken," which is small but priced at a convenient 540 yen. Next time, I will definitely go for another discounted side dish.

"Memorandum 2017-O-0215-1418" This is a takeout-only yakitori restaurant located in the Supa-Arkus in Naebo Oka Ju Street, Higashi-ku, Sapporo City. I visit this supermarket almost every week, and as I finish paying for my items and pack them into shopping bags, I always end up buying some yakitori from here. On this day, I was already feeling hungry when I went to buy ingredients for dinner, and decided to buy some yakitori as a snack for while I cook. I purchased "tsukune," "negima skewers," "sand liver skewers," "chicken liver skewers," and "garlic chicken thighs." The tsukune, being their signature dish, was indeed soft and delicious even when it cooled down. My favorite, the sand liver, was small and perfect for snacking. I heated them up in the microwave at home, but I think they would have been tastier if they were a bit hotter. Unfortunately, my other favorites, the Bibai yakitori and yagen cartilage, were sold out, so I will make sure to consider the heating process better next time I try them."
