This is the fifth out of six selected curry restaurants from Hokkaido in the Curry Hyakumeiten 2022 guide. It seems to be the only curry shop specializing in roux curry based on the photos. The last time I had this style of curry was about 35 years ago in Hakodate. The nearest station is Nango 18-chome Station on the Tozai Line, but it seems more convenient to take the bus according to NAVITIME. From Sapporo Station, it's 290 yen and 30 minutes by subway, but the bus is 210 yen and 43 minutes. The shop is close to National Route 12, so taking the bus might be better. I took the bus from Sapporo Station Bus Terminal on the 1st floor of Esta to Shin-Sapporo Station, with buses running every 12 minutes from 10 am to 4 pm, making it convenient. I took the 10:22 bus and arrived at Shiroishi bus stop at 10:58. It's very close from here. I arrived at the shop at the opening time of 11:01. I was given a menu outside and asked to wait. The staff came to take my order within 3 minutes. I ordered the Seafood Curry for 1450 yen and Ebisu beer for 500 yen. I chose level 3 spiciness. The shop is not a soup curry shop but specializes in roux curry. The beer was served quickly, so I waited while enjoying it. The menu was only available outside the entrance, so I had to order from there. The seating inside was limited, with a counter for three facing the kitchen and table seating on the right. The Seafood Curry arrived in about 25 minutes. The roux was complex with a coffee-like flavor and slight acidity. It was packed with seafood and vegetables, including large shrimp, clams, and scallops. The spiciness level was just right for me. It was a delicious European-style curry. I hadn't had such a meal with such large scallops since the bubble era. The parking lot can only fit two compact cars, so be sure to park properly.

The interior of the restaurant had a slightly dim lighting, and I was seated at the counter. The air conditioning didn't seem to be working well, so I wondered what would happen on extremely hot or cold days. There was no wait, which was unexpected. It was my first visit, so when I asked for recommendations, I was told about the "Nasukima." The friendly staff quickly told me about it, which was nice. I followed the recommendation and also added the cheese topping that was suggested. The European-style curry was served with the curry and rice separated. The curry was in a small bowl-like container, and visually it reminded me of the curry stew from elementary school lunches. I would scoop rice onto the spoon and dip it into the curry, and the deep flavor of the curry hit me right away. The balance of umami, sweetness, and spiciness was perfect, and the slight acidity, probably from tomatoes, added a nice touch. It was thick and rich, perfect for those who love intense flavors. Be careful not to burn yourself. The dish had a lot of ingredients, more than I expected. As the name "Kima" suggests, it had minced meat, and it was generously served. Additionally, there was a lot of eggplant, probably more than a whole eggplant. Carrots, bell peppers, and potatoes were also included. Each ingredient absorbed the flavor of the curry and was delicious. The cheese topping I added paired perfectly with the curry. It was so good that I couldn't stop eating. I would definitely go back if I have the chance, even though it's far away.

The chicken with medium spiciness level 2 was delicious. Each ingredient was finely chopped and easy to eat. The potatoes had a strong potato flavor and were delicious. The dish was filled with plenty of chicken and vegetables. The bacon topping was also finely chopped. It didn't have a sweet taste from vegetables or fruits, which wasn't to my liking, but it was still delicious. I'm curious about trying the seafood next time.

I arrived at the restaurant around 11:30 on a weekday and waited for about 15 minutes. You can place your order while waiting. The restaurant is small, so there is a possibility of being seated separately if you are in a group of two or more. I ordered the chicken curry. The curry was hot and thick, and the chicken was incredibly tender. There was a lot of curry sauce, so some people might feel like they need more rice. Even though it was labeled as medium spicy, I found it quite spicy.

I visited this curry restaurant called "Ichimonji Curry" which is located about a 15-minute walk from the Subway Nango 13-chome Station. It was my first visit, and when I arrived around 13:25 on a weekday Friday, there were about 5 people waiting outside the restaurant. I waited for about 20 minutes and was able to enter. After entering, I had to wait another 20 minutes before the food was served. I ordered the Chicken Curry with fried eggplant topping. You can choose the spiciness level, and I chose the medium level, which is the second level. - Chicken Curry: ¥1,200 (tax included) - Fried Eggplant: ¥250 (tax included) The Chicken Curry had a lot of volume, not too spicy, and had a rich taste similar to beef stew. The chicken was tender and well-cooked, and the carrots and potatoes were plentiful and flavorful. The fried eggplant, which was cut in half, was a great addition to the curry. Overall, despite the long wait, the delicious curry made me feel very happy. It was a different experience from the spicy curries I have been enjoying recently, but it was a great dish with authentic flavors. I would love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

When I searched for "Hokkaido x Curry," the top hit was a European-style curry restaurant, not the typical Hokkaido soup curry. The curry was delicious, but there are better European-style curry restaurants in Tokyo, like Bondi. The service and ambiance were terrible, especially in the summer with the risk of heatstroke due to the lack of air conditioning. It's quite far from Sapporo city center, and calling ahead to check if they are open was unsuccessful. The restaurant was dark and cramped, making it uncomfortable to eat. The hostess had strict rules, and customers were scolded if they didn't follow them. The vegetable curry was visually appealing and delicious, with a variety of ingredients. The spiciness level was customizable, but even the medium spiciness was quite hot. The conversation with the hostess was cold and unhelpful. The temperature inside the restaurant was around 32°C, making it feel like a hot yoga session. The lack of air conditioning was unbearable, and only when requested, it was turned on. Leaving the restaurant, the outside temperature felt refreshing, but I felt exhausted and possibly had a mild heatstroke.

I was able to enter without waiting in line. I ordered the vegetable curry, number 1. I don't like spicy food, so I asked for it to be mild. The curry served was piping hot, and it was delicious enough with the mild flavor. (I didn't feel any spiciness) There were plenty of vegetables in the curry that I couldn't even scoop up the sauce. The sweet potatoes and pumpkins were sweet and matched perfectly with the curry. I found the rules at the restaurant a bit strict, but the taste was impeccable.

I went to this restaurant that I was curious about because it was listed in the top 100. It was a weekday, so I only had to wait a few minutes around noon to get in. They asked people to refrain from talking inside if they weren't wearing a mask. The restaurant was small and hot... I ordered the vegetable curry with cheese on top! When the curry was brought out, it was piping hot, and when I mixed in the cheese, steam started coming out! The curry was rich in flavor! Inside, there were lotus root, cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, eggplant, and many other vegetables! The potatoes were especially sweet and delicious ♡♡

Limited lunchtime, I only visit here when there is no line, and switch to the JICA restaurant across the street when there is a line. Today, how is it? From a distance, there are zero parking spaces for the two P cars, which raises expectations. As I get closer, there is no line, but there is still a risk of temporary closure. Getting even closer, I can see the menu and a handwritten "OPEN" sign. Peeking inside, there are empty seats, which is lucky. I arrived around 12 o'clock, opened the door, and signaled my arrival to the lady at the shop. She asked if I came by car, to which I replied that I walked. I understand. I ordered the usual seafood, which has gone up by 100 yen since February, but it's no problem. Parking is limited to small cars like Vitz class, and if you protrude, you will be asked to move to a nearby paid parking lot. The lady's tone can be harsh or normal, depending on when you visit. Seating is always tight, even if there is space available. I sat at the end of the 4-seater counter, and more customers arrived one after another. The food was served shortly after, with the delicious-looking curry. The curry here remains piping hot until the end, so I chose a medium spice level. It was delicious with the hot soup and rice. The prawns were firm and the rice was delicious too. The white surimi balls in the curry were also delicious. The calamari rings on top of the rice were crispy and fragrant, perfect with the curry. I enjoyed a whole scallop in the middle of the meal, still piping hot and delicious. The curry was as delicious as ever. Thank you for the meal! On the way back, the temperature was a pleasant 28 degrees with cloudy skies and a nice breeze. I was satisfied with the experience. The customer service at this restaurant may be divisive, but I have come to expect it and accept it as part of the experience.

When I went at night, I didn't have to wait to get in. They don't serve soup curry now. I ordered "Chicken curry with level 4 spiciness, medium rice" for 1,250 yen. It was hot. The curry was very hot. The inside of the restaurant was also hot. The flavor was rich, like a demiglace sauce. The first bite felt like stew. Even at level 4, it wasn't that spicy. You can taste the spices very well. But maybe it's better to go for less spicy curry here. The potatoes were surprisingly delicious. The chicken was tender and tasty. Overall, it was elegant and delicious. I wonder if they will serve soup curry again someday.

Chicken curry with extra cheese, the most delicious curry in the world (personal opinion). I visited the restaurant on Monday and Tuesday evenings, but despite it being around 6:30pm, the shutters were closed. I was worried if they only served lunch now, so I decided to call on Thursday. It turns out they were open. They have irregular closing days, so it's better to check before visiting. I arrived before dinner time and was able to sit without waiting in line. The interior of the restaurant was a bit warm. I would like to try other menu items, but I can't come often, so I always order the chicken curry with extra cheese. The cheese is placed on top of the rice, like a piece of art. The curry is so delicious that it's hard to avoid eating the meat, it's tender and flavorful. Even the potatoes and carrots are flavorful. It's like magic. The curry sauce has a perfect balance of richness, spiciness, and flavor. This was my third visit, and it's still the most delicious curry I've ever had. I envy those who live in Sapporo. If you ever visit Sapporo, you must visit this restaurant.

One-character curry shop in Minamisato 18th street! Seafood extra spicy, less rice! Rich and thick roux curry with a deep flavor. You can fully enjoy the umami of the seafood. The squid ring fry on top of the rice also goes well with the curry. It was the first time I was so impressed by a curry of this type, a restaurant loved by people of all ages and genders!

I visited after a long time. It seems they have stopped serving soup curry and now only serve roux curry. The parking lot is small, only enough for two small cars, so I had to park at a nearby coin parking lot. I waited outside about 10 minutes before the opening time, and a staff member came to take my order. After about 5 minutes, I was guided inside the restaurant. They require masks to be worn. I ordered two vegetable curries, one with extra toppings. It was very hot and I was sweating a lot, but it was delicious!

Nasukima curry. Level of spiciness: 2. Normal portion of rice. The hot curry was served in a silver dish with plenty of it. I enjoyed it while sweating profusely. I lined up for the 11 o'clock opening, but didn't make it for the first round... too bad. However, I entered the restaurant shortly after. There were various notes at the storefront, such as how to park and not to cause inconvenience to the neighborhood, which seemed strict. But inside the restaurant, there was a sign saying, "Thank you for listening to the requests from the shop." The restaurant is located in a residential area, with a public facility across the street, so it must be tough. One of the notices inside the restaurant made me realize that they value all the customers who come to eat. The curry was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is a curry restaurant located in Minami-Sato 18-chome in Sapporo. According to the photo, they used to serve soup curry until last year, but the staff told me they haven't been serving it for two years, which left me confused. The vegetable curry was easy to eat and delicious, and I finished it all! The chicken was a bit heavy, but I managed to finish it too!

Seafood curry with sausage and cheese toppings, with a medium spiciness level (2nd level), and a lassi ordered on the side. The seafood curry had a curry aroma, but upon tasting, it resembled more of a European-style stew with a strong demiglace flavor. There was a slight smoky smell, possibly from the sausage. The curry lacked the typical spice kick and had a thick demiglace-like taste with a high viscosity roux that seemed to have flour in it. The spices were well blended into the roux, giving it a smooth texture. The dish had scallops, clams, shrimp balls, potatoes, and carrots as ingredients. The scallops were whole, including the roe, providing a satisfying chew. The shrimp balls were juicy and had bits of shrimp shells, indicating they were handmade. The potatoes were soft and flavorful, roasted with the skin on before being added to the roux. The toppings of sausage were large and flavorful, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dish. The addition of cheese was a great choice, as it complemented the demiglace-like flavor of the roux perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was simple, with a self-service style and no air conditioning, making it quite hot inside during summer. The restaurant had a "no talking" policy, but it was not strictly followed by customers. Some customers were not wearing masks and were coughing, so it is important to follow the guidelines for everyone's safety. The restaurant was small and focused on enjoying the curry, not for relaxing or socializing. Overall, it was a unique dining experience, and I look forward to trying the chicken curry with coconut milk and bacon toppings next time.

Located away from tourist spots, this shop always has long lines. They specialize in roux curry, not soup curry. Despite that, they have received numerous awards and are highly rated. The vegetable curry costs 1,200 yen and comes with a generous amount of vegetables. The curry is steaming hot and has a rich flavor. It's no wonder this place is so popular.

[Menu] Chicken curry (level 1 spiciness) [Price] 1,200 yen [Impression] A well-known popular restaurant. I finally got to visit and it was incredibly delicious. Probably the best curry I've ever had. Firstly, the curry roux. It was incredibly rich in flavor. I couldn't figure out how they were able to bring out so much umami. Even though it was level 1 spiciness, you could still taste the spices clearly. It's definitely curry, but it also has a hint of the richness of demiglace sauce. And the vegetables were so sweet. I want to know their secret to making vegetables this sweet. Overall, it was an amazing curry.

Seventh day of the trip. I visited the top-ranked curry restaurant in Hokkaido that I had searched before the trip. It was about a 10-minute walk from Nango 18-chome Station on the Tozai Line. I arrived earlier than expected, so I explored the neighborhood and found that if you go right on Route 12 near the restaurant, you'll find the Shimo-Shiroishi Bus Stop on the Shin-Sapporo Line 1, which comes every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends and holidays. On the way back, I took the bus to Shin-Sapporo Station. Before the opening, there were only two of us, but it was almost full by the time it opened. It's easy to get in on weekdays, but I wonder how it is on weekends? I ordered the curry with chicken (medium spiciness level 2), cheese, bacon, and added sweet potatoes. The curry had plenty of shredded chicken and the potatoes were flavorful. The sweetness of the fried sweet potatoes was amazing. The curry had a strong flavor. It's a taste that would appeal to young people. If I have the chance, I would go again. Thank you for the meal.

The medium-spicy curry with coconut topping was delicious, balancing the spiciness nicely. The eggplant topping was also excellent. The portion size was generous with 1.5 servings included, making the price reasonable. Since there are still restrictions like wearing masks and limited talking, it can feel a bit uncomfortable. However, overall, it is a very good restaurant with great service!
