I think it's the best as the name suggests. The freshness of the meat. The variety of the menu. The refreshing wakame soup. I had the Sagari set for lunch. The fresh Sagari with rice is so delicious. I also ordered hormone and raw lamb as a side dish. It was really tasty.

The top of the series is here! Real-time reports are here! When I arrived at the inn in Sapporo, I didn't even have time to rest before rushing out for the next appointment. It was a new workplace visit for a young man who had worked at a chiropractic clinic in Yokohama and moved to Sapporo. After receiving a long 2-hour treatment including an oil massage, my wife and I were completely relaxed. The prices in Hokkaido are quite reasonable, which is nice. The location is convenient as it is not far from both Sapporo city center and the northern area where the next appointment is. The dinner was a meat feast with the lady who was the partner of my late mentor. We ordered various types of meat x2 portions each for the three of us. While grilling the meat and vegetables and enjoying beer and highballs, my wife and the lady, who doesn't drink alcohol, were enjoying the food at their own pace. The restaurant is quite popular in the area and the staff are considerate, making it a stress-free experience. We had a great meal, and I remembered a reader's request for lamb meat in Hokkaido, so we finished with lamb. My stomach was already full from the meat, and I was secretly aiming for ramen next, so we ended the night with a visit to the lady's house for a chat. After a massage, followed by meat, beer, and whiskey, I was completely exhausted. We took a taxi back to the inn, and on the way, we found out that acquaintances were living very close by, just 2 kilometers away. We were both tired, so we didn't arrange to meet, but the next day turned out to be an even closer near-miss, which I will talk about in the next article! (to be continued...)

As expected, the quality was high and delicious. It's a true happiness to have such delicious food locally. Definitely give it a try.

It was clean, cheap, and delicious.

It was delicious, the meat was really good. It's a reasonably priced and tasty restaurant!

I always feel at ease at this reliable yakiniku restaurant. They offer beef hormone and marinated beef tongue on the menu, and if the skirt steak was a bit tastier, I would be completely satisfied. The tripe sandwich I had yesterday was delicious. I will definitely go back.

The grated daikon radish was excellent. The service was also good. I want to go again.

Delicious high-quality meat with a sweet and salty sauce topped with grated daikon radish. Genghis Khan is a must-try dish. Enjoy it with beer for around 4000-4500 yen per person. It's a bit pricey, but the food is delicious.

A delicious restaurant with great hormone dishes.

The location is a 4-minute walk from JR Sapporo Line's Shinoro Station. There is parking available on site. The restaurant has sunken kotatsu seating and table seating. The ventilation is good so smoke is not a problem (although the smell lingers). Visited with my family at around 6 pm. We ordered the 3-item set (1860 yen) - you can't go wrong with lamb in Hokkaido! The lamb was cut into large pieces, tender and delicious. We also ordered a 4-item set. The pork was tasty, while the chicken was just average. Rice (230 yen) - with free refills is very generous! I personally like slightly firm rice and this was just right. Vegetable soup (half size for 150 yen) had a gentle flavor and was a decent portion even in the half size. Salted cabbage (220 yen) - even though it was served as a starter, we ordered more because it was simple and delicious. Affordable! Asahi Dry Zero (430 yen) - I used to prefer Kirin but Asahi was surprisingly good! The cost performance is quite good. The restaurant was full of locals. It's recommended to make a reservation in advance. The lunch set offers even better value than dinner. I would definitely like to visit for lunch as well.

Upon arriving in Chitose, the weather took a turn for the worse with heavy rain. I took a rental car bus to pick up my Tracer. The rental car company has partnered with a motorcycle transport service, which is quite convenient. After a 40km drive in the rain, I arrived at my hotel in Sapporo, which has a hot spring. I relaxed in the hot spring before meeting a friend for dinner at a yakiniku restaurant. We enjoyed grilled meat and drinks, with the conversation flowing smoothly. We ended the meal with Sakura (horse meat) Yukke. It was a fulfilling and relaxing start to my trip.

I visited this restaurant that I had bookmarked on Tabelog. It reminded me of the good old days when it used to be called Shinro Ichibankan. I decided to visit after a long time. They serve lunch on Saturdays, but not on Sundays. The lunch time has been shortened - last order is at 2:00 PM and they close at 2:30 PM. When I arrived, the restaurant was empty. The system has changed since spring, and they no longer offer the affordable lunch sets that used to start from one coin. Now, you choose a meat dish and add on the ABC set which includes rice, salad, and wakame soup. You can choose different types of meat in half portions. I ordered chicken cartilage, salted hormone, raw lamb, and healthy beef kalbi, each with B set (wakame soup, rice) and C set (wakame soup, salad). Kimchi and kakuteki are not included and need to be ordered separately. There are five types of dressings to choose from. The thinly sliced meat cooks quickly so be careful. The frozen cartilage needs to be cooked thoroughly. The wakame in the soup is plentiful. There are no refills for rice, no dessert after the meal, and no coffee. The total came to ¥1620. Thank you for the meal.

In Sapporo, there is a yakiniku restaurant that my family often visits. The food has always been delicious. Unfortunately, they were sold out that day, but I really like the oi kimchi. It's not spicy, more like a gentle garlic-flavored pickle. The namul here also has a gentle flavor. I personally love the gatsu, a part that is hard to find in mainland Japan. They used to have beef yukhoe, but now it's sakura meat. That's a bit disappointing, but it can't be helped. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This is a restaurant that reminds me of a nostalgic commercial with the catchy jingle. The restaurant has tables for four people, but I decided to sit alone at a spacious table. The lunch menu offers set meals starting from a very affordable price. I was torn between choosing a set meal for a coin or the most tempting Kalbi set meal for 990 yen! The meat was grilled on sturdy grills over charcoal, which was a nice touch. The Kalbi meat was marbled with fat, and it was incredibly flavorful. It reminded me of the delicious Kalbi I had in Susukino's Norbesa. The meat was tender and juicy, with no toughness, and the sweetness of the fat was irresistible. It made me crave a beer to go with it! The Kalbi was truly delicious. Looking at the reviews on Tabelog, the Kalbi set meal at Hokkaido's Momitaro seems to have a good balance of marbling. The rice was tasty, but the container felt cheap and light. It would have been nicer if they used ceramic bowls. The green salad was fresh and crisp, with a variety of dressings to choose from. The Wakame seaweed soup was packed with seaweed. I went for a late lunch, and the three groups of customers were all regulars. The service was efficient and attentive. Next time, when I feel the craving for barbecue, I will definitely be drawn back to this place.

I happened to stumble upon this yakiniku restaurant in an area where there are fewer and fewer shops to visit. The parking lot was quite spacious, which was convenient. Inside, there were 6 tables with high-backed chairs, and there may have been private rooms in the back. The background music was playing from a radio in the distance. The lunch menu ranged from 500 to 700 yen, which was generally affordable. I decided to go for the most expensive option, the "Kalbi set (990 yen)," and ordered it from the stern-looking lady in glasses. The charcoal grill with a ventilation fan was a nice touch. The Kalbi arrived promptly and it was beautifully marbled, exceeding my expectations. The first bite was deliciously fatty and sweet. I felt like I hadn't had such good Kalbi in a while. While I wished it had a bit more volume for the price, the portion was reasonable. As I ate, I couldn't resist and ordered the "Beef intestine (450 yen)" for seconds. The texture of the intestine was chewy, with a bold flavor that was complemented by the rich miso sauce. I enjoyed the meal with a choice of salad dressings, a seaweed soup, and light kimchi. The quality of the Kalbi was impressive, and I look forward to trying more menu options next time, perhaps something with a larger portion. Thank you for the meal.

It's around 2:00 PM on September 14, 2015. Recently, I've been hooked on the Shinro and Oohira area, which is only a 15-minute drive away from my place. Being a graduate of the Shinro Driving School, I have some familiarity with the area. I came across this place that seemed promising based on reviews, so I decided to visit. I rushed over as they were about to close at 2:30 PM. I drove through the Okurashu Tekkodan Industrial Estate from Higashinaoho, heading west on Yokoshindo, and turned right at Shinro 2-5, just before the Nissan dealership. It's located next to well-established diners like Huumei and Shanghai. The parking lot is spacious and easy to park in. There was one group of customers already there, a lively gathering of moms. The staff greeted me warmly, with a lady at the front and an older gentleman in the back. It seems like a family-run business. They seated me at a spacious table. Despite the last order announcement, they assured me it was okay to order. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, free of grease stains. They served me cold tea and a teapot filled with ice, which was nice. I ordered the hormone set meal and a half-size portion of raw lamb. The set meal was only 500 yen, which is a steal. The grill was fired up, using a combination of gas and charcoal. It was quick to cook and not too hot, just the way I like it. They brought me a basket with four types of dressing and mayonnaise. I also prepared the sauce and gochujang while waiting. Finally, the set meal arrived. I had chosen the pickled kimchi, which looked more like pickles at first glance. But it had a nice balance of acidity and kimchi flavor, with a good crunch. The soup was packed with wakame seaweed, and it was delicious. The salad, though small, had a variety of vegetables and amazing dressings. The homemade dressings in bottles included South American, sesame, lemon juice, and French, which were all tasty. The meat was grilled next, with a generous portion of hormone. The raw lamb, lightly seasoned, was around 500 yen for a half portion. I grilled them one by one. The rice was also delicious and I asked for a refill. The hormone had a miso flavor, without any unpleasant smell, and it was a great value for the price. The raw lamb was a steal at around 300 yen. I had plenty of rice, soup, and salad, and I asked for another refill. The large serving of rice in a light bowl made it easy to eat without straining my hands. I finished off the meal and left just before the last order time. The total bill came to a little over 800 yen, which was a great deal. I would definitely come back again. Later, as I headed out with my daughter for shopping, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm accompanied by thunder, but we also saw a beautiful double rainbow. Unfortunately, my phone was out of battery, so I couldn't take a picture.

Shinro's delicious charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant is a small establishment with friendly staff and, most importantly, everything is delicious! I usually go for lunch, but today I went for dinner. You can choose between hot or cold tea, which is a nice touch. The service is excellent. This time, I ordered the hormone set, tongue, salted wagyu kalbi. The four types of hormones all have different flavors, maybe garlic or pepper? The simple taste of salt is also delicious. The tongue is thick, large, and tender, while the kalbi is tender and juicy. I also recommend the sakura yukhoe and sakura yukhoe bibimbap, where you can choose between regular bean sprouts or mung bean sprouts. The yukhoe here has a delicious taste and the crispness of the cucumber is exquisite. The bibimbap and meat dishes also come in half sizes, which is great for those who just want a little taste, even for women. This yakiniku restaurant in Shinro, loved by locals, is not cheap, so I go there as a treat for myself. Lunch is very affordable and a great deal. You can get full for under 1000 yen and even get change back. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

I have visited this restaurant a few times in the past, but this time I stopped by during my break at work. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy and homey. I ordered the Hormone Set Meal (490 yen), added Wagyu Kalbi Half (450 yen), and Genghis Khan Half (260 yen). I was happy to see that they offer half portions. The lunch set includes unlimited rice, soup, salad, pickles, and ice cream, which I think is quite a good deal for 490 yen. One thing that caught my attention was that the sauce on the plate for grilling the meat had a lot of oil in it, and the meat itself seemed to be quite oily as well, which made me wonder if they were trying to mask the quality of the meat. Also, the heat was relatively strong, so you have to be careful not to burn the meat (laughs). The quality of the Hormone was okay, so I would recommend the Hormone Set Meal for lunch. The other meats were just average. The salad comes with about 5 different dressings like plum and grapefruit, which was a nice touch. I chose Kimchi for the pickles, and it was quite tasty. Personally, I was more impressed by the side dishes and rice than the grilled meat (laughs). The service was also very good, so I would definitely consider coming back if I have the chance.
