For my mother's 88th birthday celebration, we requested a celebratory banquet at Hinoki. The food was delicious and the service by Nakai-san was impeccable, making it a truly pleasant experience. It was also great that they provided us with traditional Japanese aprons to wear. Despite the challenge of having an allergy to sea bream, they made thoughtful menu adjustments to accommodate, for which we are truly grateful.

The restaurant had an elegant and quiet atmosphere. I used a private room. I ordered the eel course meal, and the dishes were elegant with gentle seasoning. I enjoyed it with sake. The Hitsumabushi towards the end had a surprisingly large amount of rice, and I couldn't finish it all, which was a shame. I forgot to take a photo of the dessert at the end, but it was a plate of seasonal fruits, and it was delicious.

During my business trip in Sapporo, the hotel I stayed at served eel for dinner from this restaurant. The eel had a soft and fluffy texture, packed with delicious meat, and the sauce was perfectly sweet, making it hard to stop eating. I don't often have the chance to eat eel, so I was really happy to enjoy delicious eel from this restaurant.

This is a separate residence. Some of you reading this review may have felt a little uncomfortable with the word "separate residence" (´,_ゝ｀)ﾌﾟｯ This restaurant is divided into an eel section and a Japanese cuisine section. On this day, for my birthday celebration, I dined in the Japanese cuisine section (even though it's a story from spring...). I had the "Cherry Blossom Kaiseki" course. Let's get into the details of each dish: - Celebration bowl: Asparagus, fava beans, simmered shrimp, lily bulb petals, black soybeans, and dessert cup with sweet bean paste. The presentation is exquisite, and the flavors are delicate and rich. - Soup: Clam soup with mugwort gluten, vegetable strips, rapeseed flowers, and young leaves. The subtle aroma of mugwort and the flavorful clam soup make a wonderful combination. - Side dish: Red rice with perfect texture and a delicate flavor of glutinous rice. - Sashimi: Assorted seasonal sashimi including sea bream, tuna, salmon, and more. The sea bream was particularly delicious. - Grilled dish: Scallops, abalone, butter-grilled asparagus, beef with flavorful sauce, simmered sweet potatoes, and ginger. The tender beef with a moist sauce paired perfectly with the vegetables. - Steamed dish: Spring vegetable parcels with cod roe sauce. The presentation of mushroom, asparagus, and carrot representing pine, bamboo, and plum was impressive. - Main dish: "Three meals in a bowl" with eel, crab meat, and salmon roe. The eel was tender, the crab meat was delightful, and the salmon roe was delicious. - Pickles: Assorted pickles with just the right balance of flavors. - Clear soup: A comforting clear soup with the essence of dashi. - Dessert: A surprise cake for my birthday celebration, a moment of gratitude for being alive after a health scare in February. Overall, the meal was a delightful experience with each dish meticulously prepared and bursting with flavors. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were evident in every bite.

Today, I stayed at "Hotel Mystays Premier Sapporo Park" using the "Sapporo Winter Discount" and had breakfast at the restaurant "Betthi Nakajima" with a rating of 3.04 as of December 25, 2021. For breakfast that day, I chose both the seafood bowl and the Japanese set meal. The Japanese set meal came with sixteen-grain rice, and it felt like a traditional Japanese breakfast. The staff's hospitality was excellent, and it was one of the most delicious meals I've had outside of the hotel buffet. I will definitely visit again! Thank you, Betthi Nakajima!

Originally a restaurant specializing in eel, this place offers a luxurious eel kaiseki meal, which is a feast of eel dishes. They use eel from Gifu, with crispy skin and tender flesh. It seems like they might steam it a bit before grilling. In Sapporo, where eel restaurants are scarce, this is a delicious eel restaurant.

"Waka Ayame Gozen" private room lunch! Used for a girls' gathering! Enjoyed a luxurious private room lunch from noon! Guided to the room by a kimono-clad woman, the spacious private room was a lovely place♡ The meal was served in a drawer-style box, with a variety of side dishes, sushi, chawanmushi, and more. There were so many options to choose from that it was hard to decide what to eat! The portion was just right, and the food was delicious and satisfying♪

The most expensive course for this dish? A little disappointing. All the dishes came out at once, and the meat dish was already cold, which was also disappointing.

I had breakfast at Hotel Mystays Premier Sapporo Park on the first and fourth day of my stay.
