On a certain weekday, unable to find a coffee shop due to the year-end rush, I stumbled into Lotteria on the 1st floor above Ooyachi Station. The place was surprisingly empty, which was a relief for me. Since I had just had lunch, I decided to go with the classic "Ghana Chocolate Latte (440 yen)" instead of food. Taking a sip, I found it to be quite sweet, but I reminded myself that it was a chocolate drink, so it was okay. The latte was nicely balanced with milk, making it a good choice for a winter drink. I couldn't help but think about how Lotteria could thrive better. Thank you for the meal.

Sometimes when I come to Capo, I stop by while waiting for the bus. When it comes to Lotteria, in my opinion, it's all about the Rib Sandwich and the Shrimp Burger. I ordered the Shrimp Burger for the first time in a while, has it changed??? I remember it used to have small shrimp, but this time it had large shrimp packed in, and it was very delicious. The store itself is not very spacious, and it's a bit chilly so I try not to stay too long. The customer service is neither bad nor exceptionally good. I don't feel uncomfortable. This area doesn't have many fast food options, so it's important, but when students gather and get loud sometimes, I think they should be reminded to be considerate.

At 10 am, I had some time to spare in Otani-machi, so I decided to enter Lotteria through the underground entrance. The seating inside is divided into non-smoking and smoking sections, with a smoking room that is almost completely separated by glass walls up to the ceiling. They offer several types of morning sets starting from 390 yen, but I wasn't in the mood for a meal so I just ordered a hot coffee for 250 yen. I initially felt hesitant about paying 250 yen for just a cup of coffee, but it seems quite common for people to have their morning coffee at a fast food restaurant. The quality of the coffee felt like something you could get at a convenience store for around 100 yen, so maybe there's no need to feel intimidated by the price. The restaurant offers Wi-Fi provided by Docomo and Capo, and there are outlets along the walls with a sign stating "Please ask the staff to use, limited to 1 hour." So, if you need to use them, just be mindful of where you sit as there are only a few available. After a 30-minute break, I will continue my work. Thank you for the meal.

Now I understand concepts like the seven days of the week, like Monday, but when I was a kid, I had no idea about these basic concepts. It's difficult to convey fundamental concepts. I used to only know things like "the river water is cold" or "snow is white." I had no awareness of this restaurant that originated in Korea. I only knew it was good because of the delicious rib sandwich. On that day, I can only imagine what I ate - a liquid in a white bowl, something like a rib sandwich. I'm sure it was still a rib sandwich.

I remember eating the now-gone Rib Sandwich, which was my first encounter with Lotteria. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and I don't have any pictures to share. I found out that Rib Sandwich was no longer available last year at a store in Higashi-Sapporo. I still want to eat it again.

Located right near Ootanichi Station, you can easily get there through the underground passage. It's no problem even on rainy or snowy days. I love their amazing cheeseburger.

In front of the gym ===========

We took on the challenge with Mr. Muscle ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ The Deathly Spicy Tandoori Chicken Sandwich, extra spicy!! We added Death Sauce to the already spicy Tandoori Chicken Sandwich (^○^) Mr. Muscle: Alright, one red and one white Deathly Spicy each, right? ᕦ(^○^)ᕤ Me: Aren't you going to try it? (≧∇≦) Mr. Muscle: It's embarrassing (laughs) Me: I'm usually not embarrassed about these things, but this time I was (laughs) Me: One red Deathly Spicy and one white, please. Server: Deathly Spicy, is that correct? (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) It's extremely spicy, are you sure you'll be okay?? Me: I'm a bit weird, so I'll be fine ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ We had to sign a waiver, and as we were filling it out, we heard from the kitchen... Kitchen: Huh? A Deathly Spicy order, really?? Server: Yes, really. The kitchen was bustling with excitement. Kitchen: Wow, it smells really strong (*≧∀≦*) Are you sure you can handle this? The server added three drops of Death Sauce and it was ready. Since there was no cap like Tabasco, it was thick and gooey (￣▽￣;) As for the taste, well, since it's Death Sauce, it's salty more than anything (sweat) The spiciness is not that intense since Death Sauce uses Bhut Jolokia, but it still made our mouths hurt (^○^) Mr. Muscle: Disappointing, not spicy at all. It's unsatisfying. Saying that, he added a ridiculous amount of scorpion peppers (≧∇≦) It's an insane amount (≧∇≦) He said the white yogurt sauce was actually tastier.

I entered here to grab a quick bite before a training session at a nearby university. I used a docomo coupon. When it comes to shrimp burgers, it's Lotteria! Lotteria is known for their Rib Sandwich and Shrimp Burger. It's Sunday at noon but it's not crowded. Usually there are a lot of high school students here. These days, fast food restaurants often have pictures of their menu items on the walls. Other fast food chains do the same. I haven't had a shrimp burger in a while, but it was filled with plenty of small shrimp and tasted sweet.

I love Lotteria's Half-Cooked Tamatey Burger, and sometimes I crave it, so I come here. I'm not the adventurous type, so I usually always order the Tamatey Burger set. This time, I ordered it that way again. I prefer regular-sized fries over the old fries. When I mentioned that I wanted to have chicken nuggets this time, they told me that the fries are cheaper due to the Halloween campaign, so it would be cheaper to order the fries and nuggets separately instead of as a set. So, this time, I ordered it that way. The situation may change depending on the campaign, but I was happy that they suggested a solution that matched my preferences. Thank you for the meal.

I have been exploring from the Shin-Sapporo area to the Otoyaichi area, but... (^^;; I don't have much time as I only have the waiting time for the train to explore. Normally, waiting time should be boring, but when you're on Tabelog, time runs out surprisingly fast (lol). So I can't go too far from the subway station. And it's on foot (^^;; So this time, I headed to the Otoyaichi Capo area (lol) and decided to have a cozy time at Lotteria! A girl who looked like a high school student was working efficiently. There was a big poster saying "Shrimp Burger." Is it a campaign going on? Well, whatever, it's been a while since I had it, so I decided to order the "Shrimp Burger" and a blend. When I said blend, they chose the "Kilimanjaro Blend" for me. Later, I found out that the other blend was "Mocha Blend," so Kilimanjaro was the right choice! *I'm not a fan of coffee with strong acidity like Mocha (lol). By the way, when I used to work at Lotteria, the Shrimp Burger was around 220 yen, I think (lol). It used to come in a styrofoam container with a lid (^^) Burgers in styrofoam containers had a bit of a high-class feel (lol). I received a tray and thought about where to sit... I prefer a place where I can see outside from the window (^^) So I sat down and started eating, and then a mature lady sitting nearby started smoking...! I thought, "Hey, you shouldn't smoke here!" but when I looked around... it turned out this was the smoking section (>o<) Normally, places with a view outside are non-smoking, right? (^^;; Smoking sections are often "isolated" in many places now. Let's make it "completely non-smoking"! Smokers should smoke in designated smoking areas after leaving the restaurant! Please enforce this. It was my fault for sitting here without checking properly this time (^^;; So I endured it. Getting back on track... Now, let's eat! "It's been a while since I had Lotteria's Shrimp Burger." "Oh, it's just like the old days♪... the juicy shrimp♪" "I've always liked it♪" "So, it's definitely the Shrimp Burger♪" *Shrimp Lover: borrowed from spark.ryry4400 (lol) "The tartar sauce is delicious♪" "I personally wish there was more of it" "The coffee... surprisingly, I like the taste" But, in an era where you can get a 100 yen coffee at a convenience store, paying 360 yen for the Shrimp Burger + 250 yen for the Kilimanjaro Blend = 610 yen (tax included) is... still expensive (>.<) You could buy a Seicomart pork cutlet bowl + coffee with that money (^^;;

In January 2016, there is a Lotteria located inside the Ohtani Capo. I always stop by Ohtani Capo when using the subway, although I rarely use the subway myself, usually only when picking up or dropping off my son. I really hope the subway will extend to Kiyota Ward. After shopping, I visited the restaurant and ordered some French fries, iced coffee, and a budget burger. The French fries are served as soon as they are ready, which is very pleasing. The burger bun is soft and the meat is delicious without any strong flavors. The freshly fried French fries are perfectly seasoned, crispy, and tasty. Thank you for the meal! ✿ฺ(๑´ڡ`๑)✿ฺ.

▼Location▼ Located inside the Eastko Store Oyachi Store at CAPO Oyachi, directly connected to Oyachi Subway Station. ▼About the Shop▼ Lotteria is a major hamburger chain in Japan, operated by Lotte. The Oyachi store is a franchise store operated by the company that runs Senke. It is a long-standing tenant dating back to the Nichii Oyachi store era. ▼Menu▼ They offer a variety of burgers including the popular "Exquisite Series" burgers, shrimp burger, as well as drinks like shakes. For more details, please visit their website. ▼Food Ordered▼ ▽Limited Time) Kappa Ebisen Burger 380 yen ▽(Feb 2015) A limited-time collaboration between Kappa Ebisen and shrimp burger. The unique texture of the crispy kappa ebisen is evident from the appearance. The crunchy texture of the coating, along with the flavor of the kappa ebisen, is quite interesting. The shrimp filling inside is similar to the regular shrimp burger and is not bad. ▼Impressions▼ (Feb 2015) Lotteria is one of the major hamburger chains in Japan, second only to McDonald's. The Oyachi store has been around since the Nichii era and has continued for a long time, transitioning from facilities like Sati to CAPO. While it used to be a directly operated store, it was franchised to Daiichi Camera, which also manages the Higashi-Sapporo store, in 2010. This time, I tried the limited-time Kappa Ebisen Burger that I was curious about. The unique texture of the coating, evident from the appearance, made for an enjoyable burger. Lotteria has been offering fun and unique products and promotions in recent years, different from McDonald's, and I look forward to more exciting products in the future.

【Completely Non-Smoking】At Capo Oyachi, located on the first floor of the building directly connected to Oyachi Station on the Tozai Line, there is a Lotteria restaurant. The building used to house Nichii and Sati as well. While the regular menu may seem a bit pricey, they often have great deals and promotions. I visited for the first time on January 3, 2014, at 2:30 pm after finishing three days of work during the New Year's holiday. I went to Oyachi Shrine for Hatsumode (first shrine visit of the year) and on the way back, I planned to stop by a rice ball shop, but it was closed. So, I ended up walking to Capo Oyachi and decided to enter Lotteria with a discount ticket given to me by the staff. The fries were the same price but the portion was doubled! It took about 3 minutes for them to be served. The fries were crispy and delicious, but there was so much! Just as expected with double the portion! The price for just the fries was 250 yen. The saltiness was just right. The coffee was a bit weak in flavor, but it was a good match after eating a lot of oily food, preventing indigestion. However, at 240 yen, the cost-performance ratio may not be the best. It seems like ordering a set is the way to go. 😄

At the beginning of the trip, I stopped to grab a quick bite at Lotteria before catching the bus from Ootani at 9:30 am. I didn't expect much, just wanted to fill my stomach. I ended up buying the "Melty Fondue-style Cheese Burger" for 390 yen, which was recommended to me. The burger consisted of buns, patty, and a mix of Gouda and Red Cheddar cheese. The patty had a strong black pepper flavor. The cheese was rich, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. For 390 yen, I expected something more extraordinary. The buns weren't exceptional, and the patty didn't stand out as much as I hoped. When taking it to go, the melty cheese tended to stick to the wrapping paper. Maybe the cheese alone was the highlight. Overall, a regular cheeseburger would have sufficed.

Personally, I feel like among domestic hamburger chain restaurants, this one is the most gimmicky. I don't dislike their attempts at all, haha. Tower Cheeseburger (10 layers) Cheeseburger [180 yen] as a base + patty [80 yen] x 9 + cheese [60 yen] x 9, totaling [1,440 yen]. Expensive lol. I knew it was a gimmick when I ordered it, but the disappointment far exceeded my expectations, haha. It started falling apart from the beginning, and the skewer was pointless. Oh, so "Tower" meant Tower of Babel (after the collapse), huh? I was expecting a towering height, but the only thing high was the price lol. Oh, the taste. It was more like a cheese hamburger steak than a hamburger (;^ω^) I secretly wanted rice lol. Sadako and the Cool Shake [170 yen] Ramune flavor is actually cool and tasty, but the chocolate topping was cold and solidified. I was wondering how to drink it with a straw. And that straw, a unique black straw not used in other shakes. Ah, I'm sure they were conscious of Sadako's black hair... I don't dislike that attention to detail, haha. Pojarski Chicken Menchi Katsu. That's all, haha. By the way, I feel a hospitality from the staff at the Ohtachi Capo store that goes beyond manual education. I really hope they continue with this. Well, I won't order the same thing again like this time, haha. Every time I hear about new menu information, I can't help but be curious. There's an irresistible charm to it, haha. I don't dislike it, Lotteria!

Still, there are reviews from September remaining, but I will post them out of order. Lotteria Oyachi Capo Store in Oyachi. Guess what... as a commemoration of Lotteria's 40th anniversary, they are offering a limited edition item called "Unprecedentedly Thick Hamburger!" (The highest thickness ever in Lotteria's history is the key point). The "Delicious Tower Cheeseburger" will be available on Tuesdays, October 16th and 23rd, from 2 pm to 6 pm. The "Shrimp Tree Burger" will be available on Fridays, October 19th and 26th, from 2 pm to 6 pm. The height of the burger is determined by the thickness of the patty. *You can choose from 3 layers, 4 layers, or 5 layers. The 5-layer "Delicious Tower Cheeseburger" is priced at the special price of 500 yen, down from the regular price of 1,360 yen. It's a 60% discount. As soon as I saw this in the newspaper, I decided that I had to go. To the store. Due to work reasons, I couldn't eat in and had to take out. But... there was a huge line. Overwhelmingly male customers (laughs). In the end, I waited for over 30 minutes, but it seemed like the line was getting longer, maybe even an hour wait. Let's eat. The appearance is... a bit disappointing. The cheese is starting to solidify... (cries). And the buns are slightly dented... (Did I bump into something while taking it home?)... (cries). And grease is coming out from the patty or cheese. But let's focus and eat. It's slightly warm. It's over 10 cm tall. To eat it vertically, you have to take big bites (and slightly crush it). It's delicious. It's the first time I've had such a thick hamburger. The impact is outstanding. Despite the time passing, it's juicy. Anyway, it's a burger I've never had before. It feels like I bought a dream. Is this too much? But you know... I'm absolutely convinced that eating it at the store... on the spot... is the best (⌒0⌒). By the way... this promotion is featured prominently on Lotteria's website. ⇒ http://lotteria.jp/index.html. But actually, it sold out on the first day and caused quite a commotion... ⇒ Long lines... and selling out within the time frame... ⇒ They issued an "apology" on the website. Furthermore, additional sales were added (a total of 3 additional days). Lately... the restaurant industry is doing well. McDonald's is... offering a "Free Trial" of "Premium Roast Coffee Hot (S)" from October 19th to 25th, from 6:00 am to 9:00 am... They are implementing various excellent plans. Thank you for the meal. Oh, by the way, tomorrow (the 23rd) is the day for the 5-layer "Delicious Tower Cheeseburger" at 500 yen. How about it? But I recommend eating in (laughs). I think I will challenge the "Delicious Tower Cheeseburger" again for eat-in or go for the "Shrimp Tree Burger" for eat-in. So, it was a fun promotion. Thank you for the meal.

My brother loves potatoes and really wanted to try the all-you-can-eat potato deal, so I decided to go along and have something to drink. However, the service at the register was rushed and made me feel uncomfortable, so we ended up not going through with it. I think they should be more calm and attentive in their customer service. Also, the cashier's heavy makeup made me wonder about hygiene. As for the potatoes, they were good with the right amount of salt, and we were satisfied eating freshly fried ones. It would have been better without the strange service. When we asked for seconds, they gave them to us in a new box, which seemed wasteful to me.

The top recommendation at Lotteria is the shrimp burger. Although they have high-end menu options, I tend to avoid them unless they come in a set. This restaurant is relatively less crowded, allowing for a peaceful dining experience. It's more of a place to relax and enjoy conversation. In terms of chain burger restaurants, my ranking would be: A. Taste category 1. Mos Burger 2. Lotteria 3. First Kitchen 4. McDonald's B. Value for money category 1. McDonald's 2. Lotteria 3. First Kitchen 4. Mos Burger C. Variety category 1. First Kitchen 2. Lotteria 3. McDonald's 4. Mos Burger D. Waiting time category 1. McDonald's 2. Lotteria 3. First Kitchen 4. Mos Burger. Overall, Lotteria is the top choice.

It's a convenient and delicious burger shop. The prices are slightly higher compared to McDonald's, but you can enjoy a different taste. My recommendation is the shrimp burger! The crispy texture of the shrimp cutlet, the juicy shrimp, and the delicious dressing all come together perfectly. Lotteria is a shop where you can collect T-points. I always forget to show my card, though. I only realize after I start eating the burger... (+_+)
