Last year around this time, we also stayed in Shin-Sapporo, and went to Kazetsuki. This year too. The hotel is close by and convenient, and my husband loves okonomiyaki. We had the older sister cook it for us, but we left it on the grill for too long and it got a bit burnt. We ordered two pork okonomiyaki, vegetable yakisoba, beer, and oolong tea. We were pretty full after that.

Oh, I remember going to Fuzuki in Shin-Sapporo before, but it's not listed anymore. It seems like it has moved and become a Duo-1 store. My husband likes okonomiyaki, but there aren't many places nearby in Hakodate, and not many places serve it during the day. So, I thought he might want to have okonomiyaki for dinner. However, I ended up having it for lunch with a friend. I thought it would be okay to have it for dinner as well. We ordered the Fuzuki set for two. It was delicious, but the okonomiyaki I had for lunch was even better. So, I haven't told my husband that I had okonomiyaki for lunch.

For dinner tonight, I visited a restaurant for the first time. This place offers various set menus, and this time I tried the "Kaze Set." It includes a mix of okonomiyaki and yakisoba, a choice of teppanyaki (I added some extra for the beef cut steak), and a drink. The yakisoba was already prepared, while you can mix the ingredients yourself for the okonomiyaki and cook it on the grill. Both were delicious. The beef cut steak was cooked in foil, but it's also tasty to eat it directly on the teppan Brazilian-style.

Today's lunch was a must-have okonomiyaki! My wife isn't great at cooking it, so I asked the staff to make it for us. We ordered pork okonomiyaki for 913 yen, mixed Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki for 1,276 yen, and squid yakisoba for 957 yen. Even though I thought it would be nice to have okonomiyaki or Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki once in a while, I really wanted a beer... but my hint didn't work out. We have a designated driver, but oh well. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is satisfying because it has noodles in it. Even though it's from Osaka, I wonder if they had modern-yaki? I'd like to try it next time! Thank you for the meal (^o^)

I renewed my gold driver's license without driving, so I visited Shin-Sapporo for the first time in a while. It's a town where I used to live, so it brings back nostalgic feelings. I used to skip school or work and spend time at places like Dom Dom, Saizeriya, Mister Donut, and Ekimae Shokudo. Sometimes I would donate blood and receive bread as a gift on the way home. There were various memories. I also went to Hiroshima. Speaking of Hiroshima, let's have Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I went to a 55th anniversary okonomiyaki chain called Kazuki. I've seen the store around, but it was my first time going. The simmered beef tendons were delicious. The okonomiyaki ingredients are provided in abundance, but the staff will cook it for you if you ask, so no need to worry. It may taste different in terms of the lack of dashi, the flavor of the noodles, and the seasoning of the eggs compared to Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, but that's to be expected. However, you can still experience the atmosphere. The mayonnaise at okonomiyaki restaurants is so delicious, isn't it? I saw "Kazuki" written on the mayonnaise packet, I wonder if they sell it. I want to buy it.

In the past, there was a restaurant called Okonomiyaki Kazuki located in front of Sapporo Seishu High School. I used to frequent that area a lot back then. This time, during my business trip around Shin-Sapporo and Shin-Kotoni, I didn't hesitate to go to Kazuki Shin-Sapporo duo store for lunch. I'm not good at making okonomiyaki myself, so I asked the incredibly beautiful staff at the restaurant to make it for me. Their skills were so impressive that I even took a video, which I might share on my blog. The taste was excellent! It can compete with the famous Okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka and Hiroshima. The combination with the sauce was especially outstanding, creating a powerful flavor. I definitely want to go back again.

I couldn't cook it well, so I had it grilled. After taking a walk and feeling a bit hungry, I decided to have okonomiyaki. Although there was a Saizeriya nearby, I wanted to try it at Fuzuki. It was delicious! It had been so long since I last had it. I also had a lemon sour with my okonomiyaki. You can't have that if you come by car, so it was a luxurious holiday. Thank you for the meal!

[First visit on April 17, 2021] On this day, we observed the forty-ninth day since the passing of our beloved dog. We went to Shin-Sapporo Ark City, where we both grew up in Atsubetsu Ward and still live, to buy thank-you gifts for those who sent flowers. In the underground area of Sanpi (Sanpi Plaza), there are now Kinotoya, Rokkatei, Yanagi Tsuki, and Royce, so we bought sweets from each store separately. My wife planned to pack them together with a thank-you letter and give them as gifts. We planned to leave the house in the early afternoon, so we decided to have lunch at the Ark City restaurant area, which we had decided on the day before. My wife gave me a few options, and we settled on okonomiyaki, which she was most eager to eat. We visited "Okonomiyaki Yakisoba Kazuki Shin-Sapporo Duo Store" for the first time. Although I have used other Kazuki stores in the past, such as the Ootaniichi store (now closed), Esta store, Factory store, and the North Hill store where you could enjoy both bedrock bathing and okonomiyaki (now closed), this was my first visit to the Shin-Sapporo Duo store, so this review of Kazuki is also my first post. We arrived during the lunch rush, so we had to wait a little, but we were seated at a table facing the hotel Emisia visible through the window. I'm not sure if all stores are like this, but while there were laminated menus, orders were taken via tablets. I have experienced this system at places like Gusto and Shabu Leaf, and I think it is very important to minimize contact between customers and staff during this pandemic. We chose the "Kaze Set" for two people, which included the pre-selected okonomiyaki, a large portion of yakisoba, a teppanyaki dish, and two soft drinks. In the past, I remember there were various options like the Kaze Set, Tsuki Set (for monjayaki instead of okonomiyaki), and larger sets like the Kazuki Set and Danran Set for multiple people, but now it is set to only include mixed balls (pork and squid). It might be tough for people who can't eat pork or squid without at least one more choice. We upgraded the teppanyaki dish from the default A to the +110 yen option B to get beef cut steak, and my wife ordered ginger ale while I opted for Sapporo Premium Alcohol-Free (small bottle) for an additional fee. The chopstick bag we were given when we sat down had "Established 55 years" printed on it. According to someone I worked with who was from Osaka, the only Kazuki store in Daimaru in Sapporo (Tsukashibashi Kazuki) is said to be just as good as the original taste, but I thought that the Sapporo-born Kazuki, where you cook it yourself, had more of a home-cooked taste. The okonomiyaki I cooked myself after a long time, which was also due to my wife's mixing and cooking skills, was delicious with a fluffy texture. However, the okonomiyaki sauce was quite sweet, so it would be nice if it were a bit more refreshing. The beef cut steak, served on aluminum foil with the ingredients, was surprisingly bland. I would have liked some table condiments like salt, pepper, and ponzu. The yakisoba, which had pork, squid, and cabbage, was almost finished when it was placed on the teppan, so we mixed in a raw egg to finish it off. The flavor and chewy medium noodles were satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

2★Quick Drink Set 1000 yen★Oolong Highball 420 yen New Sapporo duo 1-4F "New Satcho Drinking" We are currently holding a plan where you can lightly drink for 1000 yen in a short time with a small group. It was scheduled until after New Year's, but as usual, it has been extended due to popular demand. Conditions may vary by store. This one is available during weekday business hours! One glass of draft beer/edamame or kimchi/6 takoyaki. The beer is well-chilled and delicious in a classic tumbler. The edamame is a bit soft, but as expected. The 6 takoyaki are plain with a decent dashi flavor, without any toppings like green onions or pickled ginger. It would be nice if they had toppings like shichimi, garlic chips, bonito flakes, mayo, or seaweed salt on the table. If you need more alcohol, you can add an Oolong Highball for 420 yen. It's not crowded at night, so you can drink with peace of mind. Thank you for the meal!

After purchasing used records, I arrived in Shin-Sapporo. From here, I will take a bus back to Ebetsu. Oh no... there are a huge number of high school students near the bus stop! Normally they are more spread out, but could it be?! Either way, I can't get close to that group... (>_<) I checked on the 5th floor of Duo. There is a Bikkudon and Saizeriya, popular with high school students, and always crowded, but I didn't see any high school students at all! Just as I thought! (>_<) I was about to go in, but what caught my eye was the words "Choi Nomu" (casual drinking)! This is it! I was drawn into "Fuga" restaurant. I'm sorry I won't be grilling, and sat in front of the iron plate, ordered the "Choi Nomu Set 1,000 yen". You can choose between takoyaki and edamame or kimchi, and it comes with draft beer. Unfortunately, the draft beer is not in a beer mug, takoyaki is served wrapped in aluminum foil after being cooked, and you have to apply the sauce yourself. The inside is gooey, be careful not to burn yourself. This is the true form of takoyaki! Delicious!! I wanted to have another beer and maybe yakisoba, but I have to go back soon and listen to my records haha. It's nice to have a quiet floor, but is it okay for this quiet restaurant? I hope the liveliness returns soon (^-^) Thank you for the meal (^o^)

"I tried the 'Butatama' dish. The style of making it yourself, is it good or bad? Oh, but students get it made for them. Does it mean adults shouldn't be spoiled? The portion size is small, but it's a bonus to be able to eat freshly made fluffy okonomiyaki. It's like a form of entertainment to cook it yourself. It was delicious (*´∀｀*) After all, if you're going to cook it, it has to be pork belly!"

I only had less than an hour to spare that day, so I was worried if I would finish eating in time. Despite it being quite crowded, my order arrived fairly quickly and we were able to start grilling right away. We ordered two okonomiyakis, a large portion of yakisoba, hormone (offal), and potatoes. I wonder what happened with the potatoes. They were quite starchy and seemed frozen. Even though we had all that food, we finished eating in about 40 minutes. Many people dining alone caught my attention. It's interesting how making your own okonomiyaki can be so delicious.

Beer set for 1534 yen (can change to cut steak for 130 yen) After work, I casually went to New Sapporo duo 1-4F at the Okonomiyaki restaurant Kazuki. They have a menu for a casual drinking set. Happy hour for draft beer is until 7 pm on weekdays, where the first beer is half price at 264 yen, but if you're 5 minutes late, you're out. The "Beer Set" includes 2 beers, edamame, and a choice of teppanyaki dish for 1534 yen. You can upgrade the teppanyaki dish to something more luxurious for an additional fee. The beer is served in a classic glass and tastes great. The warm edamame is perfectly cooked and not pre-made. The teppanyaki dish can be upgraded to "beef cut steak" for an additional 130 yen. It comes on a foil with bean sprouts and seasoned with salt and pepper, I think. I recommend adding the garlic chips on the table. Tomorrow is my day off. The steak was tender and delicious. The second beer had too much foam, which made me feel like I was losing out. This set can also be ordered during the day. Thank you for the meal.

In early August 2019, during the Obon period, I visited a certain facility in Shin-Sapporo with my son and we had lunch at "Okonomiyaki Kazuki Shin-Sapporo Duo Store". It had been a long time since I last visited Kazuki, and we ordered the Kazuki Set (2,614 yen) using the touch panel. Back in the day, there was an okonomiyaki restaurant called "Mitsawa" run by an Osaka lady in Susukawa, and I was quite liked by her. Since then, I have always been in charge of cooking okonomiyaki at home following the authentic way she taught me. First, I cook one side for about 3-5 minutes, then flip it over and cook the other side for 5 minutes. To make it fluffy, I make a few cuts in the dough with the edge of the spatula without pressing it down. Finally, I flip it once more and cook the remaining side for 1-5 minutes. As for the toppings, at home, we usually mix the sauce and mayonnaise all over, sprinkle bonito flakes, drizzle more sauce and mayonnaise, and it's ready to eat! When eating, I cut off pieces from the edges with a small spatula and bring it directly to my mouth. The Kazuki okonomiyaki tasted a bit sweeter than I remembered, but it was fluffy and delicious. The yakisoba was not too heavy on the sauce and I could eat as much as I wanted. In conclusion, the okonomiyaki we make at home is good, but it's also nice to indulge in Kazuki once in a while!

After finishing the night shift, I was wandering around thinking about getting something to eat, but actually, I wanted to drink. I saw a restaurant where the cashier was standing at the entrance, not even looking in my direction. In contrast, the staff at Fuzuki came from the back and greeted me, so I decided to go in. I ordered a beer set for 1512 yen, which included 2 beers, edamame, and a teppanyaki dish. I chose to add a whole squid for an additional 108 yen. The beer looked delicious, and the squid was huge and tasty. It came with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, and I enjoyed it with plenty of mayonnaise. It was a great deal for such a fresh squid. My husband, who has a busy job and rarely eats lunch, would never imagine me eating squid and drinking beer after a night shift. The staff even wished me well as I left. They also offer a lunch service with free coffee and extra noodles on weekdays. The total bill was 1620 yen, and I also received a free pack of eggs. It was a lucky day. Cheers!

After the New Year's holidays, I was a bit curious about this restaurant... I ordered the Fuzuki set with okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and potato butter, and changed the soft drink to beer. It was reliably delicious as always. Thank you for the meal.

It's exciting! If it fails, it's the worst.

I used to go to this restaurant a lot during my growing up years.
