[Order] - Raw lamb 900 yen - Raw lamb shoulder loin 1,000 yen - Premium hormone 600 yen - Grilled green onion 1 piece 350 yen - Pache (green onion salad with sesame oil and mild chili pepper) 400 yen [Impression] Located slightly off the main street, along the streetcar line, is the Sapporo Chuo branch of Kitatougara-san, a restaurant originally from Otaru. Although it is a branch, it operates independently. We ordered mainly raw lamb with shoulder loin and other items. The meat is marinated in a sauce made of soy sauce and vegetables, which is different from the thick, store-bought sauce commonly used for yakiniku. The sauce has a light, soup-like consistency with a strong dashi flavor characteristic of Otaru yakiniku. On the table, there are homemade chili pepper without spiciness and garlic. When added, the chili pepper has a mild heat and enhances the deliciousness of the soup. It feels like you can eat endless amounts of meat when dipped in this soup. The lamb was fresh, without any unpleasant smell, and delicious. Although the staff recommended the shoulder loin, I personally found the regular raw lamb to be more flavorful and delicious. The bean sprouts and onions served alongside the Genghis Khan hot pot also absorbed the meat's flavor and were delicious. The Pache, a side dish of green onions mixed with sesame oil and mild chili pepper, was also tasty. The lamb dipped in the light marinade sauce paired well with beer and was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Visited after about 10 years. Ordered raw lamb and shoulder loin, and I think there was another type, maybe it was lamp. The meat was of good quality, tender, with a strong taste of lamb, and simply delicious. Also ordered the recommended pork skirt and hormone. If you order something other than Genghis Khan, they will prepare a charcoal grill for you. The pork skirt here is recommended. It has a good chewy texture, and the spicy miso sauce is delicious. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I have been to the main store in Otaru a few times. I found out there is also a branch in Sapporo and decided to visit. When I arrived at 6:00 pm, there were no other customers (which made me a little worried). I ordered raw lamb shoulder loin, premium hormone, premium tripe, pork skirt, and miso hormone. I also ordered Parce (leek salad) and draft beer. We were served sweet potato potato salad as a complimentary appetizer (it was a bit too sweet). The beer was cold but a bit small. They provided a Genghis Khan pot for the lamb and a separate grill for the hormone, both using charcoal! This was good! The pork skirt was very flavorful. I couldn't eat without rice, so I ended up ordering a small portion of rice. The most delicious dish was probably the premium tripe. It had a great taste. The raw lamb shoulder loin was priced at 1,000 yen for 6 pieces, but it didn't seem worth the price. The total bill for two people was 7,590 yen. The cost performance was okay. As I was leaving, I asked if this was a branch of the North Togarashi in Otaru, and they replied that they had become independent.

I used to dislike Genghis Khan, but after eating it here, I ended up loving it! There was no unpleasant smell at all, and I actually thought, is this really lamb? Also, it was incredibly tender, completely overturning my preconceptions. I plan to visit Hokkaido regularly in the future, so I definitely want to come here again! And the master is kind, making it the best restaurant!

I was taken to this restaurant by a colleague from the company's branch office. It's a bit away from the bustling area of Sapporo, but the lamb here was so fresh and delicious. I'm not much different from a tourist, as I only knew about places like the Sapporo Beer Garden and famous shops for online shopping. But I was introduced to a good restaurant here. They use a sweet soy-based sauce with a generous amount of dried red chili peppers. However, it's not as spicy as you would expect. I don't know why, but that chili pepper makes the meat taste delicious. Overall, I've decided to revisit this place. It was really delicious. Thank you for the meal. Sister T

One weekend evening, I visited a Genghis Khan restaurant recommended by a friend at the main store in Otaru for a dinner with my usual friends. The parking lot in front of the restaurant can accommodate about three cars. The interior of the restaurant consists of table seats, a counter, and a raised seating area. The background music playing is a variety show on TV during prime time. I compared the menu this day and ordered a bit differently as usual. Let's take a bite... The "Raw Lamb (780 yen tax included)" may seem like it has a small portion at first glance, but each piece of meat is surprisingly thick, with a good elasticity and tenderness, making it easy to enjoy the flavor of the meat. In the end, we ended up adding two more servings. The "Raw Lamb Shoulder Loin (980 yen tax included)" seems to have the same meat as the raw lamb but with added fat. As for the limited quantity "Raw Lamb Sirloin (860 yen tax included)," the difference was hard to distinguish, with only a slight difference in appearance with some fat around the edges. As for the sauce, it leaned towards being sweet, which hit a chord with my friend. The chili pepper similar to what Daruma-san uses was a nice touch, and adding crushed garlic made it even better. However, my friend commented that while the sweetness was good, they wished it had a bit more punch, showing their expertise in sauces. Other side dishes like the flavorful "Chancha (300 yen tax included)" and "Kimchi (300 yen tax included)" had a light acidity to them. The "Large Rice (350 yen tax included)" had a decent portion size, with firm grains and was quite delicious. Finally, we finished off with a small jug of Oolong tea (280 yen tax included). Our comparison point ended up being Daruma-san, but in the showdown of raw lamb meat, this place had better texture and flavor, while the sauce was a matter of personal preference, which I didn't mind. Oh! The menu said it came with "vegetables," but it was only included in the first serving, and even if you wanted more, you could only get more meat, which felt a bit lacking compared to Daruma-san where you can easily ask for more vegetables. So, thank you for the meal.

Near the Nishi 9-jo tram stop, there is a place called Otaru Jingisukan Club Kitatougarashi. I had known about the Otaru location before, but this was my first time at the Sapporo branch. I'm not sure if it's a franchise or a directly operated store, but the atmosphere was completely different. It seemed like a place where local regulars gather. The jingisukan (grilled lamb) was decent and the prices were average. I also tried the lamb chops, but jingisukan lovers might prefer the raw lamb. One unique feature of this place is that when you order offal or intestines, they bring out another grill so you can cook them yourself. You don't have to make a hot pot like with horumon jingisukan. It might be nice to start with offal or intestines, move on to jingisukan, and then add rice at the end. The homey atmosphere makes it seem like a fun place to visit, although first-time customers might feel a bit out of place.

I went to a restaurant in Sapporo with three friends that was rumored to have its main branch in Otaru. I made a reservation over the phone for 3 people at 7:00 pm, and despite not being asked for our names, the person on the other end simply said, "Okay," and hung up. When we arrived at the restaurant, it looked like a regular diner and I started to doubt if we had made a mistake. It was empty even though it was a weekend. We ordered some beer and noticed that the beer mugs were not air-dried properly. The main attraction was the meat. I thought the prices would be similar to the ones in Otaru, but they were actually cheaper. A portion of raw lamb meat cost 700 yen, while vegetables (bean sprouts, onions) cost 300 yen. In Otaru, the same raw lamb steak was priced at 1200 yen. We ordered the raw lamb steak here and it was delicious. The owner explained that while the meat was the same, each restaurant has its own way of preparing it. I recommend giving it a try.
