Spent some time at a friend's house and headed out to Nopporo Station while it was still bright. The station was renovated a few years ago, so it seems like new shops have popped up. I was curious about this place! The entrance curtain looks quite old. The table seats were already taken, so I sat at the counter. The menu offers all alcoholic drinks for 420 yen each. I started with a beer and made a toast to Nopporo (*ﾟ∀ﾟ︎)=3 Ordered: - Negiyaki - Assorted appetizers set (forgot the name) - Dashimaki Tamago cooked on an iron plate The Negiyaki was different from the Osaka style, with a thick dough cooked with a lid to steam it. The finishing touch was a spray of dashi and soy sauce! There was also a soy sauce spray on the counter, so if you feel like the seasoning is not enough, just give it a little spray. It's nice to have a drink while watching the cooking at the counter. And this was quite delicious...♬ The dashimaki tamago was fluffy and had a gentle flavor, with a clear dashi taste that made it delicious. This place is quite a hidden gem. The owner and staff were very friendly and fun to talk to. It's clear that they are loved by the locals. They also serve lunch, so I'll have to come back next time ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ ) ===========

I was searching for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and came across this restaurant. I visited it in Ebetsu. I ordered the special Nikoyaki with soba noodles. When I saw it being cooked, it looked just like the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki from a shop called Denkosekka that I visited in Hiroshima, with the same dome shape and fluffy texture. Most Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is crispy, but this one is a unique type without that crispy texture. It's rare, so please try it once.

Near JR Nopporo Station in October 2018, at the request of my husband, who loves okonomiyaki, I, who rarely eat flour-based foods, found myself at this restaurant. I found this place through a search on Tabelog, where alcohol is always 380 yen! This got me excited and motivated. You can park your car right in front of the store, even though it doesn't look like there's a parking lot. The beer was ice cold and perfect! By the way, my husband's cola was also ice cold. We had a fluffy and gently flavored dashimaki tamago for 280 yen as an appetizer. The recommended dish of the month was the "Shiraoi beef seared sushi" - 2 pieces for 600 yen. The thinly sliced brisket seared with a burner was a bit too seared, but tasted refreshing with salt and lemon. We also had another round of barley shochu highballs for 380 yen each. For our final dish, we had the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki "Nirouyaki Cheese" for 950 yen. The round shape with yakisoba inside was sweet and lightly flavored, topped with bonito flakes, mayonnaise, pickled ginger, and okonomiyaki sauce. I don't usually eat this, but it's delicious when I do. The table next to us had a good value party course. There are many charming, slightly run-down restaurants in this area. I would like to have a meetup here, but it's far and I'm not sure if people would come. Thank you for the meal!

I have visited this restaurant more than 10 times. I come here for dates, with family, and with relatives. What I love about this place is that the food is prepared with care. Both the presentation and taste are excellent. In Hokkaido, there are restaurants where customers cook their own food, but this place is different. I have always questioned the style where amateurs have to cook their own food. It just seems like a rip-off. Professionals should be the ones doing the cooking (even at a yakiniku restaurant). I used to live in Kansai, so I have tried various okonomiyaki styles. Over there, it is common to see a lady in the downtown area, who just finished shopping at the supermarket, enjoying okonomiyaki alone for lunch. This restaurant's okonomiyaki is on a much higher level than those in the downtown area. I felt nostalgic when I tried the "Sobameshi" dish, which originated in Kobe's Nagata Ward. It was incredibly delicious. I always order the "Shinsekai" okonomiyaki here. This dish looks delicious just by the way it is sliced with a spatula. You must try the "Dashimaki Tamago." The fluffy and hot dashi-flavored omelette cooked on the iron griddle is different from the standard dashimaki tamago at other restaurants. The cooking skills on the iron griddle really shine through. They offer Sapporo Classic beer and Dewar's whiskey, which are both solid choices. Personally, I would be happy to see a better selection of shochu. It would be nice to have some fruit liqueurs for the ladies as well. There are handwritten fruit liqueurs available at the counter that are not on the menu. I have never felt that the food takes too long to come out. When the restaurant is close to full, additional orders may take a bit longer, but it is understandable since there is only one person managing the kitchen. The drinks are served by part-time staff, but I have never felt that they were slow. There are two table booths, but the spacing is a bit tight. The backrests are almost touching. If you need to use the restroom frequently, it's better to sit closer to the front. I'm happy that there is a "proper restaurant" like this in Nopporo. I hope they continue to thrive for a long time.

I feel like having okonomiyaki, but making it myself is surprisingly bothersome. In times like that, this restaurant is the place to go. It has a bar-like atmosphere where okonomiyaki is served. They also serve steak. It gives off a teppanyaki restaurant vibe as well. I tried both Hiroshima-style and Kansai-style okonomiyaki, and when you add squid, pork, and shrimp, the price goes over 1000 yen. The flavor is good, with dashi powder used and the appearance is quite nice. I also ordered the cut steak for 750 yen, and it seemed like they put effort into making the sauce. Overall, it's not bad, right? Lastly, I had the large serving of grilled ramen, which is more like soy sauce-flavored yakisoba than ramen. They use steamed noodles used for yakisoba. The taste was within expectations. The only downside is that the speed of serving the dishes is a bit slow. If you don't mind taking your time, it's worth a try.

After finishing my night shift, I met up with my husband in Shin-Sapporo. Originally, we planned to watch "Tantei wa Bar ni Iru" in Ebetsu, but we were both too tired to go through with it. Instead, we decided to have lunch together. We chose a restaurant based on its name and the price of beer. We ordered Kansai-style okonomiyaki with cheese and curry, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with mentaiko and cheese, and grilled chicken neck with green onions. We also got a drink coupon, so I ordered a beer. The okonomiyaki was delicious, especially the Hiroshima-style one with plenty of mentaiko and chewy mochi. The beer was reasonably priced at 380 yen, and overall, we had a great meal for a total of 3380 yen.

I really wanted to eat sauce yakisoba for some reason, so I tried looking for a place where I could eat it. I didn't have much time today because I needed to take my motorcycle in for inspection, but my partner found a place in Nopporo that seemed promising. It's a well-known Chinese restaurant that also serves lunch. The interior has tables and a counter with iron plates for teppanyaki dishes. There are many teppanyaki options on the menu. After much deliberation, we ordered yakisoba, Kansai-style pork dumplings, and seafood monjayaki. The staff informed us that we could get a discount by downloading their smartphone app, so we did and got a free soft drink. When asked if we wanted to cook the monjayaki ourselves, we decided to have the staff do it. The dish turned out piping hot and delicious! I eagerly dug in, while my partner, who is sensitive to hot food, watched with wide eyes. The yakisoba and pork dumplings were also cooked to perfection. The yakisoba was lightly seasoned, and we added pickled ginger for extra flavor. The pork dumplings were incredibly fluffy, made with yamaimo. Surprisingly, we finished everything quickly. Although we only had soft drinks today, the restaurant also serves beer with dishes like okonomiyaki and teppanyaki. I'm curious about their Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and other tempting menu items like wagyu hormone yakisoba and tenderloin steak. I look forward to coming back and enjoying a beer next time. Overall, I had a great experience at this place!

Recently, have you understood a little bit? I'm not saying you have to cook even on weekends. Housewives need a break too, especially with the recent heat. I just don't like always relying on supermarket deli or convenience store food. So, it's like, "Where are we getting takeout from today?" Oh, you mentioned wanting to eat okonomiyaki. I remember now. There was a place we haven't tried yet. I'll call to reserve takeout. - Okonomiyaki Pork Ball 660 yen - Nirouyaki Special 1,025 yen - Yakisoba 580 yen Delicious! Especially the "Nirouyaki Mix," basically Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki but with Chinese noodles. The batter was thicker than usual, but I didn't mind at all. It might be a welcome change. Okonomiyaki with beer! Pork ball okonomiyaki is the best, right? Oh, where's the beer? Oh, I drank it the other day... Darn. I also ordered yakisoba at my wife's request. Thick udon noodles, just the right softness. The sauce wasn't too strong, just how I like it. It feels like you could eat endless amounts. Thanks again, Mambo. It was delicious.
