I had some business in the Shiraishi area and decided to grab a bite to eat on my way back, but my first choice was unexpectedly closed today. So, I ended up going to this place instead. It was just 10 minutes after opening on a Saturday, and there were already 2 customers ahead of me and 4 groups behind me. It's my first time coming here on a weekend. This restaurant serves Okinawan cuisine and is located in the middle of a residential area in East Sapporo, in an old building converted from a traditional house. The lunch crowd is always bustling here. I usually order the standard set meal, but this time I decided to try something different and saw "Katsu Curry" on the menu. It was described as the most voluminous item on the menu, so I went for it. It may seem unusual to come all the way here just for Katsu Curry, but it turned out to be a great choice. The curry sauce was rich and thick, with tender pork as the main ingredient. The vegetables seemed to have melted into the sauce, and the katsu was small but incredibly tender. I guess they used high-quality pork since it's an Okinawan restaurant. I never expected to find such delicious curry in a place like this. And for only 950 yen with a side salad, it was a great deal. The lunch menu also offers classic dishes like Goya Champuru and Soki Soba, as well as a variety of other Okinawan specialties. This is definitely a place I wish was closer to where I live.

This is my second visit to this restaurant this month. I ordered the Okinawa soba and taco rice set, and both were delicious. The Okinawa soba had a light bonito broth, while the taco rice had stretchy cheese and crunchy lettuce. It was really tasty. Thank you for the meal.

I had been curious about this Okinawan cuisine restaurant for a while. I ordered a set of taco rice and Okinawan soba. The taco rice was topped with lots of cheese. The Okinawan soba was light and refreshing. It tasted just like the ones I had when I visited Okinawa. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Introduced by a friend and visited for the first time! My first experience with Okinawan cuisine. The restaurant was in a lovely old house! It was a bit hidden away, so a little hard to find, but it was full when we arrived! However, the turnover rate was good, so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Once seated, the menu was displayed on the wall! My friend had planned to order Soki Soba from the beginning, so I decided to do the same. It was my first time trying Soki Soba, and I knew it had meat in it, but I didn't know what it would taste like. When the dish arrived, I first tried the soup, which had an amazing bonito broth! It was so comforting. I instantly became a fan. The noodles were thick and slightly firm, different from ramen. They had a nice chewy texture and were delicious. The meat was also quite large. And of course, it was tender. It had just the right amount of fat, and it melted in your mouth. The parking lot was in front of the restaurant, but you couldn't leave if the car in front of you hadn't left yet. The staff would call out the license plate numbers to prompt people to move, and everyone, being regulars, would quickly finish up and move. The speed at which they did this was impressive. It showed the cooperative spirit of the regulars who clearly loved the place! Additionally, there is a parking lot nearby that offers 1 hour of free parking, so it's okay if you can't find a spot right in front of the restaurant. The place was constantly bustling with customers. The male staff had a warm Okinawan vibe as they managed the parking lot, served the food, and handled the payments. They were busy but still had a caring and welcoming attitude. I discovered a great restaurant! Thank you so much! I will definitely be back.

During my visit in July 2023, I had the taco rice and Okinawa soba set for 950 yen, paid with PayPay at this restaurant, which is probably the closest eatery from the new base. I love Okinawa soba, so I decided to have lunch here. It's interesting that the closest place is Okinawan. The restaurant has a narrow, house-like exterior without a sign, making it easy to miss if you're not careful. Despite being located in a residential area, it was quite busy inside. There are counter seats and table seats, with mostly female customers. I was seated at the counter, which seemed to be run by a family, possibly a husband, wife, and mother. The lunch menu is displayed above the counter, and I chose the taco rice and Okinawa soba set. I wanted to try the juicy, but it wasn't available in the area I was pointed to. However, I heard someone else ordering it during checkout. I wonder if you can order it separately? The taco rice was served "mixed" as instructed. I realized I've only had taco rice maybe once or twice in my life. I started with the soba, which had smooth noodles. It was different from the chewier ones I'm used to, but I liked it. The soup had a rich broth flavor, and the meat had a strong taste, which I enjoyed. As for the taco rice, the meat was spicy but balanced by the refreshing lettuce. There could have been more cheese, but I think it might have been too heavy otherwise. The portion size was just right for lunch. I'd like to try their champuru next time!

Visited for lunch for the first time. I love Okinawan cuisine but haven't had the chance to go until now! Ordered the "Taco Rice and Okinawa Soba Set" and the "Goya Champuru". There were many other dishes I wanted to try, but since it was my first visit, I wasn't sure about the portion sizes so I just ordered those two. Everything was delicious! I ate it all up without leaving a trace. Located in a residential area, so it might be tough to walk there, but they have a parking lot so it's fine to visit by car!

This is a Okinawan restaurant located in Higashi Sapporo area, Higashi-ku, Sapporo City. I had been curious about it for a while but hesitated to visit because the parking lot is parallel parking. However, I finally visited for the first time. I ordered the curry and Okinawan soba set. It was my first time trying Okinawan soba, and the soup had a salty flavor with a strong seafood broth that tasted delicious. The noodles were thick and seemed hand-made, with a slightly soft texture and not too firm. My companion mentioned that this is how Okinawan soba is supposed to be. The curry had a thick consistency with the pork melting in it, and a unique taste that I didn't dislike. It was quite rich in flavor. Overall, the food was decent, but I personally don't think Okinawan cuisine suits my taste. Also, eating in a parallel parking lot and having to move the car in the middle of the meal was a bit of a hassle. Thank you for the meal~

Taco rice and Okinawa soba set for 950 yen. The taco rice is quite delicious. The Okinawa soba is also tasty. I liked the meat on top. Goya champuru set for 850 yen. The bitterness of the goya is noticeable but not too strong, making it easy to eat. It's delicious. The table is set with chopsticks, toothpicks, paper napkins, Okinawa chili pepper, and water. They provide a paper towel when you sit down. I also got a pork and egg rice ball for 300 yen and a sata andagi for 100 yen to go. It was my first time having sata andagi in about 20 years, and it had a simple and delicious taste with a crispy outside. I wish I had bought more. The rice ball was also delicious with a strong bonito flavor. The service is good.

On the final day of the GW on Sunday at 12:30, the restaurant was full with a waitlist of 3 groups, so I waited outside for about 10 minutes. I was seated at the counter and first ordered an Orion beer for 580 yen. It was cold and refreshing. From the lunch menu on the wall, I chose the set of taco rice and Okinawa soba for 930 yen. It was a great set because I could enjoy both dishes. Despite the busy restaurant, it only took 15 minutes for the food to be served. The staff were relaxed and friendly, and worked efficiently. Even though it was crowded, I felt at ease waiting. This was my third time at this restaurant, and I always order the same set. The Okinawa soba had thick and firm noodles, while the taco rice had a tasty taco flavor with cheese and ground meat, providing a good source of protein along with lettuce for a healthy touch. It was always delicious. The pork and egg set that the person next to me ordered also looked appetizing, so I will consider trying that next time. I spent 45 minutes there and paid 1510 yen. When I left, there were 6 people waiting outside. I was surprised by the popularity, perhaps because it was a holiday.

Taco rice and Okinawa soba set (soba changed to Soki soba). The quaint one-story building was surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms, creating a nice atmosphere. The owner looked and sounded just like someone from Okinawa, which made me feel at ease. I arrived around 11:40 am and the place was already quite busy, with a constant stream of customers after 12 pm. The food was prepared carefully by two mothers, so it took some time to be served. It's important to have some extra time when visiting. The Okinawa soba was delicious, possibly even better than what you would find on the main island of Okinawa. The noodles, likely handmade, had a great texture and chewiness. The Tebichi (pig's feet) was incredibly tasty, with a perfect balance of tenderness and juiciness. The taco rice was also delicious, with well-seasoned minced meat and crunchy lettuce. Overall, it was a perfect experience of Okinawan cuisine. There are 5 parking spots available, but they are arranged for 2 cars and 3 cars to park in a row, so if you want to relax and take your time, it might be better to park at a nearby coin parking lot.

The title remains the same, but... Despite the strong rain and wind, today I am heading to Higashi Sapporo. It's my first time taking the subway to the Higashi Sapporo area, as I don't remember ever doing so before. I set NAVITIME and followed the instructions to come out of exit 1, but it turns out it doesn't directly connect to Aeon Higashi Sapporo store, right? (laughs) It actually connects to an older apartment building with various tenants on the first floor. I found out that this building was completed in March of Showa 50, before the opening of the Kotoni to Shiroishi section of the Tozai Line in June of Showa 51. Well, it's a common story of buildings in Sapporo connected to the subway. Coming out of exit 1 and walking left at the first traffic light, after about 10 minutes, I suddenly saw a white sign of a shop on a narrow road. Although it was featured on TV back in October two years ago, you can spot the shop by the four-story concrete apartment building on the vacant lot at that time. The building of this shop is an old one-story traditional Japanese house with a lot of history. If the sliding door is not open, it might be a bit difficult to enter (laughs). Inside the shop, there are many steps, so be careful of your footing (laughs). I took a seat at the counter after being guided. I arrived at 11:15 am. The older ladies who were already there seemed to be having a lively conversation. The staff told me, "The menu is posted on the wall, so..." and I chose from the wall menu. I've only had Okinawan cuisine once in my life at a specialized restaurant, and I only remember having sea grapes (laughs). I've had Seven Eleven's Goya Champuru and Maruchan's Okinawa Soba cup noodles before (laughs). I ordered the "Curry and Okinawa Soba Set for 930 yen." The counter is filled with the typical sight of a private shop, with bottles of alcohol lined up... or not? The background music in the shop is Okinawan folk songs? It's like a lively song that reminds me of a Hi-Sai uncle, playing endlessly. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes. The scene was a translucent soup with noodles that are more like udon than Chinese noodles. The toppings were two slices of pork belly and kamaboko, sprinkled with chopped green onions. There was also a bowl with red pickled ginger. First, I tried the curry... It's spicy and delicious in a nutshell!! (laughs) It's probably something like "Old-fashioned curry (a little spicy but addictive)" on the menu. Seriously, it's the kind of addictive spiciness that you can't get enough of. The Okinawa Soba is delicious with a blend of pork broth and bonito broth. The noodles have a slightly firm and chewy texture on the surface, which is unique to Okinawa Soba. It's like a faithful reproduction of Maruchan's cup noodles... (laughs) Next time, I'll try the Goya Champuru and Taco Rice. Thank you for the meal.

Regular visit. This restaurant is always lively and crowded. About once every two months, I get a sudden craving for Okinawan cuisine. I do make it at home sometimes, but I feel like it's better to eat at "Nankuru Shokudo." So, I paid a visit. - Appetizers: 400 yen ★★★☆ Shrimp fry, croquette, pork tofu, Arthur-included omelet The shrimp fry might be frozen. The seasoning of the pork tofu is excellent. - Mozuku tempura: 600 yen ★★★★★ The Mozuku tempura on this day had a lot of Mozuku and was very delicious. The thick Mozuku from Okinawa really brings out the flavor. - Minced meat natto lettuce wraps: 800 yen ★★★★★ I really liked this. The seasoning of minced meat, natto, and tofu mixed together is exquisite. The sweetness of the minced meat and natto stands out, not too salty. I couldn't stop eating it. - Insides soup: 750 yen ★★★★☆ Excellent. The insides (offal) are well-prepared, so there is no smell. The bonito and pork broth is excellent and delicious. It's a relief to be able to eat it at the restaurant as offal processing is difficult at home. - Jimaami tofu wrapped in spring roll skin: 680 yen ★★★★☆ Also excellent. I ordered it for the first time, and the sweetness is enhanced by wrapping Jimaami tofu in spring roll skin and frying it. I couldn't stop eating it. - Nankuru tacos: 300 yen ★★★★★ I ordered this for the first time, and these tacos are delicious. Depending on the restaurant, tacos can have different textures, but the thin and crispy skin here is incredibly tasty. Why didn't I order this before? Excellent. - Umikujit tempura: 600 yen ★★★★ Sweet purple sweet potato mochi-like tempura. This is like a snack. Sweet and delicious. It was excellent this day too. Enjoyed it while sipping on a bottle. Next visit will probably be around May. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first visit this year. It was a snowy day, but the restaurant was fully booked with reservations. It's no surprise, as this restaurant has a solid base of regular customers and is definitely the number one Okinawan restaurant in Sapporo in my opinion. Looking at the menu, prices have increased slightly, maybe by about 50 to 100 yen. It's understandable, considering the rising costs of ingredients, transportation, and utilities. The menu has also expanded, with several new dishes that caught my eye. I started with an Orion beer to toast. The appetizers were delicious, especially the spicy mustard-flavored nanohana, Arthur's tamagoyaki, and miso-marinated chicken. The "Nankuru Pizza" with goya and bacon was a new favorite, with a crispy crust and generous cheese topping. The "Rafute" was tender and not too fatty, while the "Minced Meat Natto Lettuce Wraps" were surprisingly satisfying with a generous amount of filling. The seared "Soki" pork was a standout, with just the right amount of fat for a flavorful taste. The tempura of island shallots was a seasonal treat, best enjoyed with salt and awamori. Finally, the "Nakami Soba" with pork offal was a comforting choice, with a slightly firmer noodle texture than traditional Okinawan soba. Overall, a satisfying dining experience with a mix of familiar favorites and exciting new dishes.

Perfect shop for those of us who love Okinawa! The interior is filled with Okinawan vibes, and I wonder if the owner is from Okinawa? They speak kindly with a slight accent. I ordered the Fu Chanpuru set meal (850 yen) and the Umibudo Donburi (900 yen). The Fu Chanpuru is packed with vegetables, pork, and plenty of Okinawan car fu. The taste makes you want to eat more rice. The Mozuku vinegar that comes with the set is also delicious. It's a great deal with Okinawa soba included. The Umibudo Donburi is also an amazing combination. Lots of Umibudo on top, with marinated tuna and egg yolk seaweed underneath. It was incredibly delicious! This lunch for under 1,000 yen is great value. I want to try other menu items as well, I will definitely come back. Just be prepared for excessive carbohydrate intake. Be careful with the parking lot! It can be difficult to enter and exit, and in some cases, you may be asked to move your car while eating. It might be better to park somewhere and walk there. Lunch reservations are only accepted for those with children! Enjoy your meal٩( ᐛ )و

Sapporo has completely transformed into a snowy landscape. I was thinking about what to eat for lunch, and decided to go for Okinawan cuisine. When it comes to Okinawa, there is Okinawa soba and juicy (pork dish). I also considered getting Champuru or a pork dish. I ended up choosing Okinawa soba, juicy (pork dish), and tonkatsu this time. I finished the meal with sata andagi. It also came with a side of mozuku seaweed, which was a nice surprise. It was delicious. Okinawan cuisine is the best!

Today, I visited Nankuru Shokudo, a restaurant that I have been curious about for a while. I arrived shortly after they opened. Since it was my first time here, I decided to start with the classic choice of Okinawan soba with pork. While waiting for my meal, I noticed they were frying Andagi at the end of the counter, and the delicious smell made me order 2 to go. Despite being told it would take some time, my soba arrived surprisingly quickly, in about 5 minutes. The bowl looked a bit small at first, but the pork pieces were actually quite large, although they were pork belly slices, not ribs. Personally, I prefer this as it's easier to eat. The hot soup had a perfect balance of saltiness, making it very refreshing and tasty. The highlight was definitely the pork. The sweet and savory marinade soaked into the pork, making it so delicious that it made me crave for rice. Since the soup was light, eating it with the soba enhanced the flavor. This was a very delicious pork soba! The portion size was just right. I also enjoyed the freshly fried Andagi that I bought to go as a dessert. It was slightly fluffy and had a hint of sweetness in the dough, which I really liked. This place is great. I will definitely be back soon! Thank you for the meal.

I rarely eat it, so it's almost like zero experience points, but... Taco rice has a strong flavor, yet the lettuce gives it a light taste, so it's easy to eat with a spoon. As you eat more, the flavors blend nicely. The mini Okinawan soba, serving a miso soup-like role, has a comforting broth that quickly disappeared. Overall, I consumed a good amount of carbohydrates, but I felt like I had a light lunch. The parking lot has two rows of parallel parking, so there is a possibility of having to move your car, but the staff will assist, making it smooth.

I visited this restaurant again. There are several Okinawan restaurants in Sapporo, but this one is my favorite. The atmosphere is great, but most importantly, the food is delicious. They don't just serve Okinawan cuisine, they also put effort into the seasoning. My top favorites here are the "Foie Gras Gratin" and "Tebichi Oden", but if I order these two, I can't really order anything else haha. This time, I decided to try some dishes I haven't had recently, including new ones. I made a reservation for 6 pm on a Sunday. All the seats were reserved, showing how popular this place is. - Appetizer ★★★★ 400 yen Niku Jaga (Meat and Potato Stew): The owner called it Niku Jaga, but it's actually meat tofu seasoned like Niku Jaga. The tofu is deep-fried and there's plenty of burdock, making it delicious. The tamagoyaki, chikuwa, and cucumber are always tasty. - Champloo The Mongol 800 ★★★ 730 yen This was my first time ordering this dish. It's a mix of Genghis Khan, bean sprouts, bitter melon, and tomato with a yakiniku seasoning. It's a bit sweet with a nice touch of acidity from the tomato. It's delicious, but I think I prefer the regular champloo. The portion of champloo here is a bit smaller, maybe similar to the lunch set portion. - Kori ★★★★ 550 yen Another first-time order for me. It's chicken cartilage deep-fried with pineapple, although I couldn't really taste the pineapple flavor. The sweetness of the chicken cartilage fat is delicious. This goes well with awamori. I personally like it, but some people might find the fat overwhelming. - Grilled Soki ★★★★★ 800 yen Another first-time order, and it turned out to be a hit. I was a bit worried about the fattiness, but it was surprisingly not greasy at all. It's tender and goes well with alcohol. This one is really delicious. - Jimami Tofu ★★★★☆ 450 yen Consistently delicious. - Mozuku Tempura ★★★★ 500 yen Also consistently delicious. It was even better the last time I had it, but it's still within the margin of error. - Taco Rice ★★★★ 730 yen I actually prefer the taco rice here more than the one I had in Okinawa. I had taco rice in Kin Town about 20 years ago, and I remember the cheese being too strong, so I didn't really like it. But the cheese in this restaurant's taco rice is not overpowering. The cheese, salsa sauce, and seasoned ground meat mix together perfectly, making it very delicious. I was very satisfied this day. They will soon celebrate their 10th anniversary. Keep up the good work!

Visited the Okinawan restaurant near the East Sapporo Convention Center around 1:00 PM on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The restaurant is located in a Showa-era residential house in a residential area, giving off a feeling of visiting a relative's home. I was seated at the counter with only 3 seats, and the place was almost full at this time. I ordered the Okinawa soba for ¥750. Although I was told there would be a wait, the dish was served in 7-8 minutes. The red pickled ginger was served separately with pork belly, fish cake, and green onions. The soup was light but had a refreshing umami flavor. The noodles were thick and firm, and the portion was generous. Inside the restaurant, a radio program about the origin of awamori (Okinawan distilled liquor) was playing.

I watched a morning drama full of points to make fun of and ended up craving Okinawan soba, so I visited a restaurant and had a bowl for 650 yen. The gentle broth was so delicious that I couldn't help but drink it all up. The pork was served with the skin on and was really tender and tasty. The noodles, although I personally prefer Hokkaido wheat noodles, had that authentic Okinawan soba taste. It seems like the price will go up in October, but it's still great value for money. I'll definitely visit again! (*'ω'*)

I finally had Okinawa soba, which I've been wanting to try! (lunch only) The set includes taco rice and soki soba. The Okinawa soba set is 830 yen, but if you change it to soki soba or betchi soba, it's 910 yen (+80 yen). It's a very popular restaurant where you can fully enjoy the Okinawan atmosphere, and the taste is amazing, so I was very satisfied.
