Happy New Year. In November, a concentrated prevention period was set in Hokkaido, and I was thinking of refraining from posting reviews during that time. But time flew by, and now January is almost over. To avoid forgetting if it gets extended again, I will resume posting reviews from today. On Sapporo's special day, I usually head straight to Susukino after finishing my errands. But this time, just before the start of the concentrated prevention period, I decided to avoid Susukino. I found a restaurant near my location, so I decided to visit there. It's called Kaede Masu. It is about a 5-minute walk from the streetcar Ishiyama-dori. There are 4 counter seats, 5 tables for 4 people, and 1 table for 6 people. I visited at 6:00 PM, with no prior customers and 4 customers arriving later. - All-you-can-drink for 90 minutes @ 1600 yen The beer is Super Dry, in good condition and delicious. I'm happy that they offer single-person all-you-can-drink option. - Namul assortment of 4 types @ 420 yen Today's vegetables. It's a generous serving, which is great! Perfect for drinking. - Toya Lake Wagyu Kalbi @ 660 yen Kalbi is not a specific part, so it varies depending on the restaurant. This meat has more of the original meat flavor than the fat flavor. It's so delicious that I wanted a refill, if available. - Wagyu Tsurami @ 400 yen When grilled until crispy, it's like beef jerky. A unique delicacy that brings out more flavor as you chew. - Masu set @ 2200 yen Pork upper hormone, upper intestines, rich Wagyu hormone, upper mino. They handle offal well, as expected from a butcher-owned establishment. Especially the Wagyu hormone is processed to retain the jelly-like fat without any odor. I want a refill, but the taste is exquisite! However, I can't eat a lot alone... - Shoulder Kalbi @ Instagram follow-up service It has a moderate marbling and emphasizes the flavor of the lean meat. Perhaps they prioritize the meaty flavor over the marbled fat here. They excel in meat, and the quality here would cost 20-30% more in the city center of Sapporo. It's worth the journey being close to the streetcar. I have a few occasions to visit this area about 3-4 times a year, so I plan to visit here regularly. Thank you for the meal. These theme restaurants never disappoint.
