Lamb Soup Curry (1460 yen) Spiciness Level 8. This is the first time I visited this famous restaurant, Rakkio-san, as for some reason, I never made it there before. Upon entering the restaurant, I got a sense of a circus tent atmosphere, as if the lively night before had transitioned into a new morning. The interior was a bit chaotic, giving off a slightly disorganized impression. It seems like this place has been in business for a long time. As I looked around the restaurant, the curry soon arrived. The basic ingredients were old-fashioned and simple. On the other hand, the sliced onions, a 1/6 cut boiled egg, and two sheets of seaweed on top of the rice were quite unique. However, I couldn't quite understand the purpose of the seaweed (laughs). Now, onto the taste test. The tomato-based soup lacked a certain depth of flavor. I looked for salt or additional spices to enhance it, but there were none. The lamb, the star of the dish, was thinly sliced, with a subtle lamb aroma and taste. The onions were sweet and delicious, standing out among the vegetables, which were otherwise unremarkable. Overall, the dish was well-balanced and tasty, but it felt a bit too mild-mannered. As I ate about 60% of it, the acidity of the tomatoes started to shine through, improving the overall flavor. However, I couldn't help but wish for more uniqueness or boldness in the taste. Reflecting on this, I realized that many soup curry restaurants, following in the footsteps of Rakkio-san, have been creating their own distinctive and flavorful dishes, contributing to the current popularity of Sapporo soup curry. Rakkio-san has maintained this taste as a longstanding establishment. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Rakkyo Daicircus and the interior of the restaurant is spacious with an ethnic atmosphere. I ordered the Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry and Tandoori Chicken Soup Curry. You can adjust the spiciness level for free, and it can be set to very spicy. The dishes arrived shortly after. The Vegetable Chicken had tender chicken with bones that easily came off. The vegetables included green peppers, pumpkin, okra, eggplant, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, and eggs. The Tandoori Chicken came with three pieces on the side, and they were hot and flavorful with the unique spices of Tandoori chicken.

It's been a while since I had lunch here. The monthly curry was my favorite sweet and sour pork curry! The carrots, eggplant, and broccoli were delicious as always. The soup curry here had potatoes that were fluffy. The pork was tender and juicy. I really liked the seasoning of this monthly special! By the way, this monthly special is available until August. I feel like trying the regular menu again after a long time. I will definitely come back! Thank you for the meal.

I went to Rakkyo Circus for the first time in a few years. Recently, when I went to a soup curry restaurant, I tended to order lamb curry. It was fragrant and delicious! I prefer soup curry that is a little thick and flavorful rather than thin and watery, so I was very satisfied with the taste. The staff were also friendly, and I was able to enjoy dining alone.

I visited before 12 o'clock on a weekday. There were a few empty seats, but I had to wait a bit before being seated. The service was good, so I didn't mind the wait. I ordered the Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry for 1380 yen. The chicken was not as tender as I had hoped, but the fried vegetables and other ingredients were tasty. The soup was not outstanding, but it was still good.

This famous soup curry restaurant is easy to find. They offer a special service on Tuesdays where kids can enjoy soup curry for only 100 yen. While the Shiretoko chicken soup curry is limited in quantity, I tried the imported (USA) chicken soup curry with braised pork as a topping. The soup is light at first, but as you eat, it becomes richer and the spiciness gradually builds up, leaving a warm feeling in your body by the end. The spiciness level ranges from 1 to infinite, making it a great place for those who love spicy food. They also offer different dishes like ramen and hot pot each month, allowing you to enjoy seasonal ingredients alongside curry. This is a recommended place for those who are not fans of heavy soup curry. I am glad to have found this delicious soup curry restaurant! Thank you for the meal.

It seems like each dish is carefully made one by one. While waiting, the air is filled with the aroma of spices, making it very exciting. The chicken is tender and juicy. The side menu potatoes are crispy and delicious. Personally, I wish the curry had a bit more depth in flavor, then it would be perfect.

At the regular soup curry restaurant tour at Rakkio Circus in Higashi-ku, Sapporo City, I tried the Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry for the first time. Even after visiting many famous restaurants, I still feel happy to discover new flavors and deliciousness. Soup curry is truly fascinating.

I felt like eating soup curry after a long time, so I visited the restaurant. I usually have retort curry at home, but the taste is different from eating at the restaurant! I had the pork belly curry, spiciness level 5, with a small portion of rice. The soup and vegetables were delicious! However, the pork belly was tough and hard to chew. It felt like eating muscle. I was imagining tender pork belly. I should have gone with the standard chicken option. Overall, I was satisfied and next time I will increase the spiciness level.

Last spring, it was my first time visiting Luckyo Circus since returning due to a job transfer. I used to frequent this place a lot when I first got into soup curry. Today, I had the spicy pork belly with a spice level of 5 and added lassi for 1510 yen. The soup reminded me of the flavors I used to enjoy. It was a delicately seasoned and pure taste. The pork belly was a generous portion of 3 big pieces and was delicious. The dish also included eggplant, carrots, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and other vegetables. The taste hasn't changed since back then. It made me realize how difficult it must be for soup curry restaurants to continue standing out with their unique flavors as the number of such places has increased significantly. I will definitely come back again.

It had been a while since I went to Luckyo. They offered a drink service during weekday lunchtime. Also, for weekday lunch, you could get a large serving of rice and free rice refills! I ordered iced coffee and pork belly soup curry. I think it's a standard soup curry that is recommended for beginners!

Arrived right after the store opened on Sunday at 11 am. There was one group of customers before us and one group after. It was my third visit in 4 years. We were asked to sanitize our hands upon entering. There were 5 staff members, both male and female. The background music was reggae. The counter was separated by transparent acrylic panels. This time, I wanted to eat plain soup curry, so I ordered the limited quantity "Shiretoko Chicken Soup Curry" (1430 yen) with a spice level of 3 (medium spicy) and medium rice (220g). It arrived promptly. The soup was rich enough to make your lips sticky, but the tomato acidity made it refreshing and delicious! Spice level 3 was just right for those who like medium spice. It could even go up to 4. The large Shiretoko chicken was tender and delicious, without any unpleasant odor. The rice came with two sheets of seaweed, which added a nice touch to the soup. Once again, I was satisfied with the deliciousness. However, I preferred the soup I had last time, which had a strong seafood broth flavor. Maybe it depends on the menu? Next time, I will try the "Pie-Wrapped Soup Curry".

I was feeling tired after working overtime on the weekend, so I decided to stop by a restaurant on my way home from work. In addition to the regular menu, there was also a monthly special menu. I originally planned to order the Chicken Leg Soup Curry, but when I found out it was limited to this month, I felt intrigued and decided to go with the May Monthly Menu, the "Coconut Green Curry"! I actually like coconut-based dishes, so it wasn't just because it was a limited edition! After a while, a beautifully arranged oval curry plate filled with Coconut Curry Rice appeared! The aroma was amazing! There were various types of ingredients in it! Even the coriander, which I usually don't like, added a nice accent when eaten with the Coconut Curry, delighting my taste buds. It was slightly spicy, but I thought it was just right to enjoy the variety of ingredients. The manager's service was excellent. Both the curry and the customer service were top-notch, making me want to come back again!

I had plans to play darts with friends, but it got canceled, so I went to lunch with my family at "Rakkyo Da Circus"! I had always wanted to visit Rakkyo, which also has a branch in Esta, but I hadn't been there before. Since Esta closed down, I thought it would be impossible to drive all the way to the main store in Kotoni, but I found out there's one in Shiroishi Ward. Even though I didn't plan to go here originally, after being turned down by two other places, I decided to try it out. I won't mention the restaurant names, but one is said to be the number one curry restaurant in Hokkaido, and the other is a popular Western-style restaurant in Kiyota Ward. The latter had a notice, but the former didn't, so I wasn't sure... If there's no website, it's safer to call and confirm, right? We had no problem entering Rakkyo Da Circus. I ordered the "Grilled Cheese and Bacon Soup Curry (¥1200)" with spiciness level 5 (extra spicy) and a small rice (150g). My family ordered the "Tandoori Chicken Soup Curry (¥1450)" with spiciness level 3 and a large rice (300g, ¥60), and the "Half Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry (¥990)" with spiciness level 1 and a small rice. After placing our order, our food was served in 10 minutes! It was beautifully presented! After a bitter experience with soup curry the last time I had it, today's dish looked radiant! The ingredients included bacon, grilled cheese, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, and eggs. It was my first time having seaweed on rice with soup curry, and when dipped in the soup, it added a seafood aroma that surprisingly matched well! The cheese, torched to a crisp, had a fragrant and thick texture that enhanced the flavor. The fatty thick-cut bacon was tender, and when combined with the cheese, it was absolutely delicious! The large and chunky potatoes were sweet and fluffy, and the sweetness of the eggs and carrots was a must-try. The charred broccoli was meticulously done, giving it a perfect burnt taste! The first sip of the main soup brought a tingling sensation to my tongue and mouth. The umami and richness that followed, along with a hint of acidity, suggested that the base was likely tomato-based (as mentioned on another site), and the balance of flavors and spices was just right. Being able to taste the spices while enjoying the essence of the soup itself, and the refreshing aftertaste left in my mouth, was fantastic! I didn't break a sweat at all, so I could probably handle even spicier levels, but it was a good decision to stop at a level that didn't overpower the restaurant's skill! I had been wanting to visit Rakkyo, and finally being able to enjoy delicious soup curry was a great experience. Thank you for the meal.

Raising the flag of Sapporo Soup Curry at the Geimori event. Joint participation. Spicy soup curry is especially delicious in the cold. President Ide, chairman of the Rakkyo Curry Machi Sapporo Promotion Committee, has come on a business trip himself. I took a picture.

I decided to have soup curry for dinner! So I came to Rakkyo Circus. I remember having burnt rice a few years ago, but in Shiraishi Ward, Majispa was the standard, so it's been a while, but I'm in the mood for a new adventure. It's the Manbou period, so the business hours are shortened, and I arrived just in time for the last order. There was one other group of customers before me, but I was able to choose my favorite seat at the counter. The interior of the restaurant had partitions and bags for disposing of tissues, so the infection prevention measures were perfect! The BGM was reggae, which I love. And it was Bob Marley. Reggae is often played at soup curry restaurants! Now, for the order. Shiretoko Chicken Vegetable Soup Curry ¥1,780 Spiciness Level 50 (It was written on the menu that spicy is for those who like it, so I went for it) The staff was surprised when I ordered Level 50. Plain Lassi for spiciness countermeasure ¥390 The lassi arrived first, and I took a sip. It's made with unsweetened yogurt, so there is no sweetness and a slight bitterness. I added some gum syrup to adjust the sweetness. Now, for the main dish, the soup curry. It was bright red! The soup was thick and creamy. Is this Level 50... The ingredients included Shiretoko chicken leg, onions, pumpkin, potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, okra, and boiled eggs. I took a spoonful of the soup. Delicious... and spicy! I underestimated it. The spiciness of the dish I ordered at a new restaurant was not that strong. Usually, my head sweats profusely and my nose runs when I eat spicy food. Even when I eat the ingredients and rice together, I end up swallowing after just 2 or 3 bites because of the spiciness. The sweetness of the pumpkin was much appreciated. It has turned into a battle with Level 50. I couldn't stop eating, despite the spiciness. The chicken was tender, and the vegetables were fried to perfection. In the end, I finished it all. The lingering spiciness is what allows me to keep eating. Thank you for the meal!

First visit. I had been curious about this place because it is very famous, but I finally had the chance to visit for the first time. I reserved the "Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry" for ¥1204, so I was smoothly guided to my table. The parking lot was full and the restaurant was crowded. The soup curry had a classic taste, and all the side dishes were delicious. The staff were all very kind and lovely. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again. Thank you very much.

I ordered the September monthly menu, Yagen Nankotsu and Kinoko Sabji @1300, spiciness level 100, with the wonderful bonus of unlimited spiciness for free (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و. The level 100 spiciness has a slightly thicker shape compared to single-digit numbers. Even with such high spiciness, I love that the spiciness of the spices triumphs over the assertiveness of the chili peppers. I usually prefer very thin soups, but I always end up choosing level 100 for that nice kick. I eat the papad crispy before it softens up. The Yagen Nankotsu has more pieces than I expected, with a crunchy texture and a distinct smoky flavor that stands out in the curry. It's really delicious (*´▽｀*)♡ I also love the big chunks of carrots, but the cumin-seasoned carrots pair perfectly with the soup. The combination of maitake, eringi, shimeji, and shiitake mushrooms is a dream come true for mushroom lovers. The sweetness of the potatoes becomes heartwarming thanks to the spiciness of the soup. They offer a child's curry for 100 yen every Tuesday, which I think is a fantastic service. While there are many soup curry restaurants with children's menus now, this place is the undisputed number one for dining out with kids. My kids are older now and don't need a children's menu, but when I search for restaurants on Tabelog to enjoy soup curry, I have always valued whether it's a kid-friendly place. The reputation of being a great place for families with kids remains solid. They didn't have the 100 yen service back then, but the staff would praise you if you finished your meal. It felt like they were warmly watching over us, and my son, who used to dislike vegetables, and my daughter, who had a small appetite, both tried their best to finish their meals. I haven't really thought about food education, but I believe that creating delicious and enjoyable memories from childhood is important. I hope they continue the 100 yen children's curry until I have grandchildren (no plans yet). Thank you for the meal.

Mushroom and Bacon Pie Wrap with Okra for 1380 yen at South 13th Street. When you're tired and craving spiciness, bring out the chili peppers! The classic and popular dish - Circus Curry. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is full, so you might have to park at the second one nearby. The prices seem to have gone down a bit. The Circus-exclusive curry "Mushroom and Bacon Pie Wrap" with okra topping was ordered. Served in a hot pot, it's steaming hot! The soup has a consistent flavor, and the buttery flavor of the pie goes well with it. The melty cheese, salty bacon strips, and the texture of the mushrooms are all good. The spiciness level is around 20, a satisfying kick. It comes with rice, but I personally feel it's unnecessary with the pie wrap. With a coupon, you get a gelato as well. It's not addictive, but it's a delicious curry. Thank you for the meal!

July 2021, First Visit 15th Dish of 2021 It's hot. The delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics have started. In Sapporo, there are marathon, racewalking, and soccer qualifiers. It seems tough to hold the event in Hokkaido with such hot weather every day. Spice injection on a hot day. "Curry in the summer, right?" By chance, I visited a restaurant and found out that it was their 16th anniversary on July 25th. The restaurant was immediately full. It's a popular place. "Natto and Setana Okra Curry" 1,100 yen Summer limited edition, Setana town's okra is 2.5 times more than the usual okra curry. A sticky touch to overcome this heat. Ground chicken, fried potato, carrots, natto, okra, boiled egg. Level 3 spiciness, medium rice. The soup overflowing with spice, the first bite might seem spicy but it's just the right amount of spiciness. Natto goes well with the soup curry. "Basil Pork and Summer Vegetable Soup Curry" 1,280 yen My husband's choice. I've never heard of basil pork before. Lots of summer vegetables. Medium spiciness. It seems to be just right for my husband. It seems to be a soup curry without any peculiarities and suitable for everyone, probably a soup curry that won't get boring. The standout feature is the excellent service of the staff. Starting from temperature check, serving water, and seeing us off after payment. Not over the top, but I was impressed by their subtle consideration. I received a drink voucher from the 16th-anniversary gacha gacha. I also got a point card, so I might revisit.
