I thought there was a bar here, but couldn't tell from the outside. I saw a menu inside and found out that Lotteria serves drinks! I'll have to come back next time. I had some time to spare, so I was torn between Dotour and Megu Ice Latte. I was drawn to the Megu Ice Latte, so I went in! Unfortunately, I accidentally spilled most of it. I tried to clean it up myself, but Lotteria's staff were amazing. They checked if my clothes were okay twice! They quickly provided me with a new drink, and even though I felt guilty, it was delicious. I felt bad for making a mess and tried to clean up, but the staff at Lotteria were top-notch. They even educated me on how to properly clean up. It may seem like a common thing, but many young staff members don't do it. It wasn't a young staff member, but I could tell that they take pride in their work. It made me realize that I need to do better too. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

Today, I visited the LOTTERIA JR Sapporo store located inside JR Sapporo Station. I ordered the Teriyaki Burger Set for 580 yen from the morning menu. It had been a long time since I had a teriyaki burger, but the crispy lettuce and mayonnaise were really good. Thank you for the meal.

Located inside Sapporo Station JR, open from 7am. They offer a morning set as well. It's a good option for breakfast as they open early. You can choose from: Teriyaki Morning Set, Cheeseburger Morning Set, Iced Coffee, Iced Tea. The total is 930 yen. The Teriyaki Burger is still delicious as always. The Iced Tea and Iced Coffee are a bit weak. Thank you for the meal!

Before moving to work, I had lunch at Lotteria in Sapporo Station for the first time in a while. I had their delicious Cheeseburger with a maximum of about 8mm thick patty topped with two types of natural cheese (Gouda and Red Cheddar). It's a classic burger from Lotteria that I love. Even though it seemed smaller than before, the taste remained unchanged. It was still delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I don't eat Lotteria burgers much, I mainly have Lotteria shakes. By the way, I heard that Lotteria was acquired by Zensho, the parent company of Sukiya. I hope they continue with the shakes. It's located inside JR stations, so when I have time to spare before catching a train, I pass the time like this. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the Lotteria inside Sapporo Station in March 2023, but there was a sudden delay, so it couldn't be helped (´ω｀). I ordered the "Delicious Cheeseburger" for 440 yen, added a salad set for 420 yen, and changed it to a Super Dry beer for an additional 100 yen. It was a bit surprising when the total came to 960 yen for a hamburger. The beer was served in a chilled 350ml can with the lid opened for me to pour myself. The bun was fluffy and overall tasty, but I'm not sure if it's truly outstanding. And isn't it a bit small? The salad had plenty of cabbage, corn, and vegetables that I needed to eat (*´ω`*). I left the restaurant just 3 minutes before the JR announcement for arrival, so it was convenient and I made it on time. Thank you for the meal! (^ω^)

Preparing breakfast is a hassle and I wanted to do something different. I heard that Lotteria serves breakfast quickly, so I decided to go. However, I found out that they don't serve breakfast on weekends. I decided to try something I haven't had before. I ordered the Crazy Hot Chicken Filet Premium Blend for 771 yen. I wanted hot coffee, so I ordered that too, but it was a bit expensive. I wish it was around 200 yen. When I received the burger, I couldn't find the sauce. I just took a bite. It turned out to be a Chicken Filet Burger. I found the sauce at the bottom and rubbed it on to enjoy the Crazy Hot flavor. I ended up eating it in a messy way. I wanted to savor the delicious sauce completely.

I went to Lotteria for the first time in 7 years, in Nishikokubunji, Tokyo West area. It had been a while since I last visited Lotteria. The Ebi Katsu Burger was small but satisfying, and very delicious. The crispy batter paired well with the buns. The Ghana hot drink was comforting and tasty, although I wished it had a bit more sweetness and depth, like Ghana chocolate. If I have some time to spare at the JR station, I might find myself drawn back to Lotteria. Thank you for the meal.

- No smoking allowed at Sapporo Station, even though there are smoking areas. - You can add alcohol to your burger set for an extra ¥100. - It's great to be able to have a drink with a burger as a way to end a night of bar hopping in Sapporo after 5 PM. - The Rib Sandwich Pork costs ¥520, and the Lemon Sour from Barrel High Club costs ¥350. I forgot how sweet this Lemon Sour is, haha. I might have preferred a Highball instead. - I wish they would allow alcohol consumption at all times, not just for a limited time! It's great to see more fast food places offering alcohol. I hope McDonald's will do the same in the future.

I came to Sapporo Station and noticed a Lotteria. They had a Chiba Lotte Marines support sale with half-price vanilla shakes advertised, so I thought, why not, and got one. It was like drinking a vanilla ice cream in drink form, and it was delicious as always.

Traveling in Hokkaido. Stayed near Sapporo Station for one night and starting the next day. On this day, it's a train journey from Sapporo Station. Departing on a train around 7:30 in the morning from Sapporo Station, let's grab breakfast before that. Sapporo Station at just past 7 in the morning. Inside the ticket gate, there is a familiar Lotteria shop. It's a well-known hamburger chain often seen near JR stations. This shop is located completely inside the ticket gate. Let's get some takeout here. Purchased the Chicken Cheeseburger set. Since it's takeout, it costs 486 yen. Enjoyed it on the limited express train. The Chicken Cheeseburger has soft buns. The chicken doesn't have a strong presence. The fried chicken lacks juiciness and has a slightly weak texture. Seasoned with a mayo-based sauce. The cheese was not very noticeable either. The set included hash browns and premium coffee. The hash browns had a crispy texture with just the right amount of saltiness. Fast food that can be purchased quickly inside the station is convenient. It was just right for a busy morning.

After returning from my trip in April 2022, I had some time before catching the express train, so I decided to stop by Lotteria to grab a bite. I was surprised to see that they serve beer there, which I didn't know before. Since I was a bit tired of eating, I opted for a coffee instead. The small size of fries was also a good choice for me. Overall, my business trip to Sapporo was enjoyable, and I wish I could come back every month, but it's not always possible. Thank you for the meal.

Will it continue forever? Well, it's about JR. Is it running on a reduced schedule today as well? Probably, they are probably clearing snow even in the middle of the night when passengers are sleeping during the daytime suspension. Speaking of which, I remember seeing a snowplow truck running in the past, but when was the last time I saw one? I don't see them anymore, do they not run anymore? So, no new discoveries today. I guess I'll stop by the yakiniku restaurant on Shimoina Street... As always, I'll stop by the JR Sapporo Station inside the ticket gate. After all, it's easy to return from there. By the way, with a LINE coupon, you can get the "Celebrating Lotteria's 50th Anniversary Shrimp Burger + Small Fries + Small Drink" set for 500 yen instead of 693 yen. Even at that other place, the set with a mandatory small fries is 70 yen off, so this is a good deal. This shop doesn't have number tickets like that place. You pay the fee, wait in front of the pick-up counter, and the food appears in about a minute. It's fast (laughs). I'll start with the soft drink... it's Pepsi though (laughs). Actually, I like it more than the red one, it's easy to drink. Have you ever had a hamburger with something other than a regular beef patty? I've never had their shrimp filet. So I can't compare, but this burger with chunky shrimp and crispy bread with tartar sauce is delicious. The small fries are a bit soft, but not bad. Well, it's fine like this (laughs). Thank you for the meal. I'll come back again.

So, I finished work early and it was too early to catch the train, so I decided to kill some time and satisfy my hunger. I came across a great deal on the "LINE coupon" for a cheeseburger set with small fries and a small drink, which is normally 715 yen, but with the coupon, it was only 390 yen until today. I couldn't pass up on that deal (laughs). I entered the restaurant a little after 4:30 pm, and compared to the yellow M store, there weren't as many customers here. After placing my order and paying, I waited for my order at the counter. Once I received my food, I headed towards the small table by the wall, as I was dining alone. I started with the fries, which were hot and crispy, not soggy, and just the right amount of salt. I really enjoy this kind of fries (laughs). I chose Pepsi for my drink, which had a unique flavor compared to Coke... I like it (laughs). The burger with melted cheese on the patty was delicious. Overall, for a burger joint along my commute route, it's pretty good. Plus, it's right below platforms 9 and 10, so convenient. I'll definitely visit again if they have another great coupon deal (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

This morning, when I left for work a little after 5:30, there was already traffic control in place. The temperature was higher than in Tokyo and the humidity was the same, and suddenly the start time was moved up by an hour... Is this because the management is disorganized? The morning hour is precious, you know. Anyway, for the second day in a row, I visited the area around Sapporo Station. Nothing special happened. While looking at the point club on my cell phone, I found a coupon for a Classic Burger Jr with small fries and a Pepsi-Cola S set for 550 yen, which is a good deal. But the points accumulate as T points... well, there is also a T-point card. The staff said, "It will take about 3 minutes for the fries to be ready..." So, you can have freshly fried fries (laughs). I received my drink and tray with a number tag, sat down, and waited. In just 3 minutes, the burger and fries appeared. The crispy and fluffy fries were not too strong in taste, which was good. The Classic Burger Jr had lettuce, tomato, and sliced onions sandwiched in it, which was nice. The sliced onions are the key. I wonder if they have a regular size too, since this one is Jr? I'm not sure, but I really liked Lotteria (laughs). I'll definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

However...how long will this damn hot weather continue? Isn't it supposed to be around 26 degrees Celsius in July? Wasn't it supposed to go over 30 degrees Celsius after entering August? I've been keeping my windows wide open all night, but I can't seem to get a good night's sleep with the sirens of ambulances running down Shin-Kawa Street and the strange animal or creature sounds coming from the direction of Konoe River. Well, the routine is to avoid walking and sunlight as much as possible, so when it comes to meals, it's gotta be inside JR Sapporo Station's ticket gates. I've only been to three places in Sapporo city, so I'm not sure, but it's nice that this place is slightly empty. And today, it's empty again, so I stopped by. And for the third day in a row, I'm using JAF's paper coupon. The Ebi Burger SS Set (with small fries and small drink) for dine-in is 693 yen, but with the coupon, it becomes 550 yen. Well, I changed the drink to iced coffee, so it was an additional 30 yen. And it seemed to be the price before tax...The fries take a bit of time, so they bring the burger and iced coffee on a tray with a number tag, and you just wait at your seat. The fried potatoes appear in about 2 minutes. The freshly fried potatoes are not too oily and not too salty compared to McDonald's. It's good. The Ebi Burger looks like a lot of shrimp cream croquettes. The texture of the shrimp is good. But maybe the tartar sauce is a bit lacking. Anyway, I've been eating burgers at Lotteria several times recently, and it's not bad. I didn't have a good impression when I ate it about 20 years ago. Well, after the nearby McDonald's reopens in mid-September, I'll see if I keep going to Lotteria (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

It's really helpful, isn't it? It's usually too busy to stop by, but it's convenient when you want to use it a little. This time, I tried the caramel shake pudding from Pom Pom Purin, and it was so sweet that it was tough to eat without water. Please mix it before eating.

Well, even on Sundays, I'm coming back from work. Seriously, Sapporo Station area is in the middle of temporary closure. But when I looked at the signs at Esta, it seems like Bic Camera is open (laughs). So, I didn't go to the store, but I wonder if Yodobashi is also open? As I walked through the Apia concourse, the only places open were McDonald's, the bakery across from it, and the drugstore. Beyond that, I caught a glimpse that Lawson was also closed... Daimaru's food section in the basement is open, but Paseo was closed entirely. However, the shops inside the Sapporo Station ticket gates that I checked yesterday were all open. Phew, that's a relief (laughs). So, I visited this place. It's been a while since I had a hamburger. Oh! The day before yesterday, I had a chicken filet sandwich, not a hamburger (laughs). After all, the nearby McDonald's is under renovation, so I haven't eaten there since the end of February (laughs). Or rather, this might be my first time at Lotteria. Let's go for the exquisite cheeseburger with a small size of fries and a small size of Pepsi for the drink. Or rather, is it really "exquisite"? What a bold naming (laughs). Should I pick it up at the counter and sit at a table seat somewhere? Oh, the round chair at the single-person table by the wall is fixed (sweat). I'm not a big fan of fixed chairs. I'm not sure about the Pepsi, but it seems to be "Zero". I wonder what "Zero" means? But compared to the Pepsi I had the day before yesterday, it doesn't have a strong medicinal smell. The fries are a bit salty, but they have a nice fluffy texture. As for the hamburger... hmm! This is delicious (laughs). And the patty is surprisingly thick compared to a certain other hamburger, right? The salt and pepper seasoning is just right and delicious! And they don't use ketchup or anything, right? There's a good feeling of eating meat! This place is surprisingly (sorry) good (laughs). I liked it, so I'll be visiting often. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, the Sorachi district experienced record-breaking heavy snowfall. I was in Sorachi as well, and the heavy snowfall around Iwamizawa was incredible. There is a clear change in winter scenery between Sapporo and Sorachi, with the Oji Paper Factory in Ebetsu acting as a boundary. Rain clouds from the Ishikari Bay often split, resulting in either heavy snow in Sorachi and clear skies in Sapporo, or vice versa. Since the train was running late, I decided to kill time at "Lotteria". I ordered the "Hash Potato Combo" for 330 yen (including in-store dining tax). I only wanted coffee, but since it was 250 yen, I opted for the set. It was just right for me since I hadn't had breakfast. Thanks to Lotteria, I managed to pass the time until the train arrived, which was 30 minutes late.

During a business trip, I was debating between station bento, bread, or standing soba for lunch. In the end, I decided to get a Rib Pack to go from Lotteria inside Sapporo Station and enjoyed it on the train. It had been a while since I last had Lotteria, but the fries, nuggets, and rib sandwich were all delicious! ^ ^
