This time, the 400th shop I visited in Sapporo! And at the same time, I decided to choose "KUJIRA" as the final stop of the day! It's the first time I've combined the end of the tour with a milestone like this. I made a reservation about two weeks before the visit, as the restaurant tends to fill up with reservations, and walk-ins are not accepted. It's a difficult-to-reserve restaurant, so I'm really happy to have been able to visit! I ordered the "MCP (¥1430)" and the "Coffee Mandelin Blend HOT (¥440)". If you order only dessert during dinner time, you must also order a drink, so please be aware of that when using it as a dessert. I resisted the temptation to order pasta or risotto in addition to the menu I wanted, as I had already eaten soup curry beforehand. Each dessert set included two types of pudding, cake, and an additional three types of gelato in the "Diet starts tomorrow. (¥2640)", which was a great value for the price, but I couldn't finish it all... The dishes arrived in about 10 minutes, and I couldn't help but get excited when they arrived! The MCP I ordered stands for "Mont Blanc Cricket Pudding". It is a menu where vanilla ice cream is topped on the restaurant's signature pudding and wrapped in Mont Blanc, and it is a popular dessert in autumn and winter. The volume was impressive, fulfilling three greedy desires of wanting to eat pudding, Mont Blanc, and freshly squeezed Mont Blanc. The cream tasted sweet and rich, with a fluffy and smooth texture that was mesmerizing. The cream was so fine and silky that it melted smoothly in the mouth, giving a different sensation from a cake shop's Mont Blanc. The aftertaste of sweetness that goes down the throat after melting is also delightful. The chestnuts on top were also creatively arranged, resembling jewels. The pudding hidden inside the Mont Blanc had a custard-like flavor. It seemed like an old-fashioned firm pudding when the spoon went in, but it melted smoothly in the mouth! It had a strong egg yolk flavor with a moderate sweetness, and the contrast between the light bitterness and richness of the caramel sauce was distinct. The combination with the refreshing vanilla ice cream was also excellent, adding a cooling effect when eaten together, making it very delicious! The variety of ways to eat is the essence of the dish combining different flavors. It's delicious on its own, but when combined with other dishes on the same plate, the deliciousness is enhanced... It's very cunning! The buttery crackers with a crispy texture also served as a palate cleanser for the voluminous MCP. The sprinkled sugar added sweetness, which was nice! The coffee had a moderate bitterness, with no astringency or acidity, and a clear taste. When I looked it up, Mandelin is known for its heavy bitterness and richness, and is used here for its mild flavor.

The diet menu starting from tomorrow is great. It was just right for two people to split both dishes. The balance of sweetness and richness was perfect. I would like to try their lunch next time. The service from the staff was also good. I think the BGM volume is a bit too loud.

I made a reservation and visited for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant was full as soon as it opened, with a sign outside indicating that all reservations were full. It seems that reservations are necessary. The interior of the restaurant was decorated with cute whale motifs, which was very popular with female customers. I ordered sparkling wine and a dish with summer vegetable Genovese sauce. The pasta was thin and the sauce was well-coated, very delicious. The summer vegetables were small but varied, making it enjoyable. The only downside was that the pasta was lukewarm, it would have been even more delicious if it was warm. The restaurant is a bit small, so it's more suitable for lunch or a date with friends rather than a business meeting. It was a delicious pasta after a long time. Thank you for the meal!

My partner's birthday was approaching, and so was mine, so we decided to celebrate together by visiting a restaurant that I had been wanting to try for a while. The trattoria is known for its popular sweets menu and cozy atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a platter of appetizers which was delicious and generous. The pasta we ordered was unique with a soft serve ice cream cone on top, adding an interesting twist to the dish. The restaurant had a charming interior with whale decorations, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that we both enjoyed.

Visited the restaurant at the recommendation of a friend. I made a reservation just to be safe. It's not in the city center, so it would be difficult to find another option if this didn't work out. The exterior was okay, but the interior had a lot of cute whale-themed decor. I ordered the recommended appetizer platter, which was quite generous in portion. It was enough on its own with a variety of items. I particularly enjoyed the chicken liver paste. I'm usually not a fan of liver paste, but this one had no unpleasant smell and was incredibly delicious. For the main course, I had pasta, which was a cold pasta dish with Genovese sauce. It had peaches on top and ice cream cones hidden underneath, to be crushed like croutons. It was tasty, but the menu was a bit confusing and unconventional. It was also surprisingly filling, and although there were tempting desserts, I couldn't make it to them. Very disappointing. I wish I had a bigger appetite.

On August 15, 2023: - Momostrike Makko (1450 yen) - Cold capellini with white peach and mascarpone ham (1600 yen) - Cafe latte (550 yen) This day was the second stop on the peach tour♡ I really wanted to try the peaches here too!! The peach on top of my favorite pudding was just amazing. It was so good (๑´ㅂ`๑) It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was crowded! The peaches are available after 1 pm (´ω｀) They don't hold reservations, so I had to come before they sold out! The pudding was big and smooth and soft (*’ω’*) The caramelized peach was crispy on the outside, juicy and sweet on the inside♡ There was ice cream inside, so I had to eat it before it melted! The cookie dough surrounded the pudding ( ˙꒳​˙ ) I also tried some of my friend's peach pasta! I was unsure if peaches would go well with pasta, but the combination of cheese, ham, and peaches was actually good♡ The pasta was simply seasoned with olive oil, but I didn't like the pink pepper which was a bit strange (。´･ω･) I will definitely go back! Thank you for the delicious meal♡

The spaghetti with sakura shrimp, lemon, and squid ink was delicious. The corn and prosciutto with thin zucchini in Genovese style was amazing. The Meteor Strike Maccow dessert (pudding with rock salt, vanilla ice cream, and caramel) was the best. The set soup was also good. I recommend arriving around 13:30 when the first round of customers start to leave if you couldn't make a reservation for the 12:00 opening time.

A quiet restaurant located a little away from the center of Sapporo. The desserts are delicious and the service is very friendly. The menu isn't extensive, so it's great for lunch. I ordered the super value appetizer assortment, pasta, and main dish. The appetizer had about 10 different items, enough to fill you up with just that and wine. Next was the seasonal fruit mascarpone and prosciutto genovese, a surprising mix of pasta and dessert. The presentation was beautiful, but I struggled with how to eat the waffle cone. Mixing it all together created a new flavor. The veal roast was light and delicious. I wanted to try the pudding for dessert but was too full. The restaurant is decorated with many whales, and I regret not asking the owner why. I look forward to going back for the pudding next time!

Our home's number one cake department has been decided! What is this?! It's delicious, too delicious! We have visited hundreds of patisseries nationwide, but the top dessert is from an Italian restaurant. It's excellent! And it's not from a high-end restaurant that costs tens of thousands of yen, but from a casual trattoria where the pasta is also delicious (a popular restaurant). The cake from this place is outstanding. Oh, excuse me! If they focused on being a patisserie, they would become a formidable presence in Sapporo. It seems that the opening of a new donut shop near the same store, which was planned to be opened much later than originally planned, is expected around summer. As expected, the son of the founder of the famous patisserie S World in Osaka, which I was in charge of, has a certain skill. This cheesecake was my first time trying it, and I was impressed. It has a rich Basque cheese-like flavor, a creamy texture that flows out, and is topped with luxurious mont blanc style with strawberries and chestnuts. The marzipan whale is cute. It's playful of Chef K to subtly decorate with a whale that he loves. It was a White Day gift for my wife, and she was so impressed and delighted that it was a great success, so thank you very much. This one-of-a-kind cheesecake is definitely a repeat purchase! Even though we said we wouldn't give a perfect score of 5 points at home, we did give it a perfect score! Laugh!

I have always been interested in this restaurant. The atmosphere is nice! It's a quiet and adult-like place, a really nice feeling. They offer a total of 6 pasta dishes, and on this day I chose the "Sakura shrimp and mentaiko, rapeseed and edamame Genovese". And for dessert, I had their famous "Whale Pudding"! It has a slightly firm texture which is nice! The hot coffee was also delicious! Both the pasta and pudding were delicious, making it a perfect treat dinner! Thank you for the meal!

Roast beef bowl at Trattoria Kujira Sapporo is a must-try, with its tender and delicious roast beef. It's recommended to make a reservation in advance due to the long lines. Located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, this Italian restaurant is known for its quality beef dishes. #TrattoriaKujiraSapporo #Italian #roastbeefbowl #roastbeef #beef #SapporoGourmet #HokkaidoGourmet #SapporoChuoWard #food #foodstagram #fooddiary

I visited the café on a day when they only serve food. Even though it was a Monday, the seats were quickly filling up. I was glad I made a reservation. Since it was a café operating day, the only food options were roast beef bowl and French toast. I chose the roast beef bowl due to my appetite. The garlic aroma was a bit strong, but I finished it quickly. I wished it came with wasabi or horseradish. For dessert, I debated between sharing a plate full of treats or getting two individual items. I couldn't resist ordering the pudding. I chose the vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce pudding with rock salt, and the Mont Blanc cheesecake. The pudding was smooth and the caramel was pleasantly bitter. The rock salt added a nice touch. I couldn't quite grasp the combination of Mont Blanc and cheesecake, so I ended up eating them separately. I look forward to trying other food items next time, and I must have the pudding again on my return visit.

It was a revisit after a long time, and they celebrated my birthday. I had the pasta lunch with pumpkin cream and Genovese, both of which were consistently delicious. And the "Let's start dieting seriously from tomorrow" was excellent as well. I apologize for arriving at 1 pm for lunch. The casual service was very much appreciated. Unlike last time, the crispy fried potatoes were a big hit. The sweet and salty flavors were irresistible! You can enjoy various flavors and it looks great too. The impressive volume left everyone completely satisfied. The chef worked efficiently alone, and we didn't have to wait at all, it was truly amazing! The reservation process and the service in the restaurant were both pleasant. The two young female staff members were also very considerate and friendly, which left a good impression. Unfortunately, there is no parking, so it can cost around 500 to 1000 yen, and it's difficult to walk in without a reservation at this popular restaurant. Also, if you order dessert, it can add up to almost 3000 yen per person, so it's not something you can afford to do regularly for lunch, which is a bit sad. However, it's delicious, so it's perfect for a celebratory lunch. It was full of regular customers, but they were all laughing. The food and desserts are both original and creative, and it's a great restaurant run by a chef from Kansai who continues to impress.

This was my first visit to the restaurant, located a short walk from Nishi 11-chome. The seating is limited, so it was a good decision to have made a reservation for dinner. The seats had whale mascots, and this time we had a lucky shark mascot seat. We enjoyed dishes such as assorted appetizers, roast Kochi local chicken, mushroom risotto, and affogato-style pudding. The appetizers were a plate with a variety of items, each one delicious and satisfying. The combination of cumin-flavored sand liver and celery and muscat mayo was particularly impressive. The menu changes with the seasons, so there will always be something new to discover at this restaurant. Additionally, the restroom had an interesting ocean-themed decor with only sea photos.

MCP-J ~ Mont Blanc Cricket Pasta Genovese with Prosciutto and Mascarpone ~... 1870 yen. The mascarpone cheese and prosciutto were delicious! Of course, the pasta was too ✨ It was a lunch set, so it also came with soup. The interior of the restaurant had cute whale figurines and books displayed. It was quite crowded inside, so I couldn't take photos. The dessert plate also seemed very popular, so I'll have to try that next time ☕️

I had Mont Blanc cricket pudding for the first time in two years. It's a smooth custard pudding topped with vanilla ice cream and a mountain of Mont Blanc. It's huge, maybe around 10 centimeters or more. It shakes like an earthquake when you move it. Before the pudding, I had a delicious Genovese pasta with creamy mascarpone and salty prosciutto. The combination of flavors was amazing. Both the pasta and pudding were so filling, all Mont Blanc-themed. I definitely need to try the Genovese pasta with sweet potatoes that will be available from October.

I went to the restaurant, which only operates for dinner on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The cafe menu is famous and always crowded. The evening was fully booked as well. The menu consists of appetizers, pasta, risotto, meat, and dessert, with a limited selection. The prices are a bit high. The pasta and risotto of the day were priced at 2000 yen plus tax, which seemed a bit expensive. Pasta ranges from 1400 yen to 2000 yen. Appetizers range from 300 yen, and meat dishes start from 2800 yen. The dessert menu is quite extensive. I ordered the assorted appetizers, which were vegetable-centric and healthy. The taste was excellent with a variety of options. I ordered the cold pasta and pasta with sakura shrimp and karasumi. The flavors were a bit strong on the salty side but delicious. I am curious about the other pasta options with unique combinations. For dessert, I chose the famous pudding, which was incredibly rich and delicious. There is a wide selection of wines, making it a perfect place to enjoy a special occasion. The atmosphere was a bit noisy due to a group on this day, so I would like to visit again for a more relaxed dining experience.

I visited for a regular pasta lunch. There were 3 types of pasta, and I had the first one, the Tagliolini with summer vegetables and buffalo mozzarella (cold pasta). The presentation was beautiful, but for men, the portion may be a bit small.

I had the custard French toast. The French toast was soft and very delicious. The custard was a simple, old-fashioned, firm custard that I really liked. It's recommended to go during off-peak hours as even on weekdays, there may be a wait for lunch.

Lunch was my first visit! By 12 o'clock, it was already full, so I lined up from before 1 o'clock to enter! On the day I visited for lunch, there was Parma ham from Italy, strawberries, dill-scented pesto with edamame, which looked beautiful! And the taste exceeded my imagination... ♡ I really think the chef's idea of combining ingredients here is amazing. Half of the customers were there for lunch, and there were also customers using the cafe only for pudding and drinks! I shared KUJIRA pudding with my friend ♥ It was smooth, elegant, and delicious! This is a place I want to visit again, even if I have to wait in line! Check out the details here ☟ Popular restaurant with long lines! Lunch at Trattoria KUJIRA Sapporo! Delicious pasta and pudding ♡

I wanted to have coffee, but apparently I had to order pudding as well. The coffee was lukewarm and they didn't even bring water. The pudding was a pain to eat when I didn't even feel like eating. I ended up leaving it. If at least the coffee was warm, it would have been better, but I won't go back for a second time.
