This is the "Doutor Coffee Shop JR Sapporo Ticket Gate Store" located at 3-chome, Kita 6-jo Nishi, Kita-ku, Sapporo. Since it's inside the ticket gate, it tends to be crowded with people stopping by before catching their train. This time, I decided to visit right after getting off the train, just in time before the morning rush. This place is popular for being a "Doutor where you can also drink alcohol," but since it was still before 10:30 am, I opted for their morning set. I ordered the "Hot Morning Hot Ham & Cheese" (priced at 470 yen or more depending on the drink choice) with an "Iced Coffee (S)" to drink. After a short wait at the order counter, my order was ready. The Hot Morning Hot Ham & Cheese consists of boneless ham, three types of mixed cheese, and tomato sandwiched between slices of bread. The ham was thinly sliced, and the mixed cheese included Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan. It was tasty, but lacked a bit of impact. The cheese was melted, but it didn't quite have the same appeal as a traditional hot sandwich. Perhaps it's challenging to serve hot sandwiches quickly in a few minutes. The iced coffee, on the other hand, was consistently delicious!

I'll say it upfront. I'm really weak against heat, and my thinking ability decreases during this season. My appetite is also low, but I can drink (lol). So, I decided to come here without going through the JR ticket gate. Nice to meet you. I just really wanted to drink beer (lol). The light buzz set comes with 3 types of snacks. For now, I chose the classic B set. I quickly finished half of it. Oh no, I need to savor it and stretch it out. The snacks go perfectly well with the beer. Ah, for the second drink, I had Ebisu's black beer. It's been a while since I had it, but it still has a strong unique taste. It was delicious. Cheers! Since I'm already here, I'll go to another place for another light buzz set (*`･ω･)ゞ.

I was heading to Noboribetsu Onsen from Sapporo and planned to have an iced coffee on the limited express train. However, I found a Doutor inside the Sapporo station gates, so I decided to have it there before boarding. The coffee was the usual Doutor quality, but I was grateful that the ice remained cold for a long time.

When you don't like spending 25 minutes waiting at the train station, the best thing is being able to sit back and enjoy a glass of iced coffee. The medium size costs ¥300, and the strong bitterness of the coffee goes perfectly with the ice. It's just right for waking up in the morning and the medium size is satisfying for the price. It puts you in a good mood to start your work day. Thank you for the meal. Sitting in the air-conditioned shop, sipping on a proper coffee for 23 minutes, and then barely making it onto the train.

I wanted to drink coffee from the morning, so I'm grateful that this kind of shop is open. As expected of the number one station in the region. It's crowded with commuters, but this shop also has a line. It feels great to have a delicious coffee in the morning.

Sapporo Station area. A unique Doutor located inside the JR ticket gate. They offer morning sets starting from 7 am, and also have a light drinking set in the evening. The shop does not have outlets, and the atmosphere is not very relaxing. I visited in the evening. I ordered the light drinking set (900 yen), which includes 2 drinks and a choice of food. The glass was Sapporo Classic instead of Ebisu. I chose a half and half of Ebisu and Ebisu Black, both tasted good and were a great deal. I paired them with the ham, salmon, and shrimp used in Doutor's burgers, making it feel like I was drinking with snacks from a store like Kaladi. The dishes were quite salty, so I finished them quickly and left the shop after about 5 minutes. No cover charge, no seating fee, straightforward billing! At this price, it's worth it. Thank you for the meal!

I used the transfer time at Sapporo Station to buy breakfast (takeout) here. I visited around 9:50 am on a holiday (during Golden Week). The store is located inside the JR Sapporo Station on the 1st floor near the stairs to platforms 5/6 and 7/8. There was a menu board for morning sets at the entrance. The store had a casual and warm atmosphere with a counter for ordering, payment, and serving on the left and seating on the right. The staff, mostly young, seemed a bit unfriendly. There were about 10 other customers when I visited, mostly middle-aged couples and solo travelers. Until 10:30 am, they offer three types of morning sets. I ordered the "Morning Set B (Smoked Chicken Potato with Honey Mustard Sauce) for 450 yen (tax included)" and chose an iced coffee (small). It was ready in less than 3 minutes and packed in a paper bag with napkins. I enjoyed it on the Sapporo to Asahikawa express train "Lilac" around 10:10 am. The Smoked Chicken Potato with Honey Mustard Sauce consisted of lightly toasted Yamagata bread with horseradish potato salad, smoked chicken mixed with honey mustard sauce, and lettuce sandwiched between. It was quite filling and tasty. The bread was still warm with a crispy texture, and the combination of flavors was delicious. The iced coffee was aromatic and refreshing, pairing well with the sandwich. Overall, having a light meal and drink from Doutor as takeout on a train ride was a pleasant experience.

I stopped by the Doutor Coffee Shop inside JR Sapporo Station for a cake set. I ordered a cocoa (small) and a Mont Blanc cake made with chestnuts from Kumamoto prefecture. The Mont Blanc cake was moist and smooth, with a rich flavor and gentle sweetness unique to chestnuts. The cocoa was smooth and not too sweet, providing a comforting taste. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

I received the "Horoyoi Set A". It's perfect for a quick drink. For 900 yen, you get 2 drinks and a snack. The juicy meat bursts out when you bite into the Wiener sausage. Then, I gulp down the beer. It makes me happy. A simple joy. Thank you very much. It was a delicious meal♪

I confirmed that it was supposed to start at 5:00 PM, but they were already open since noon. When I checked, they told me with a big smile, "We're having a great time!" After the Ebisu bar, my face was so red (lol). We had one drink each with Yuka-chan since we had time until JR. It was great! I have to go again.

In the blizzard at the 2nd Sapporo Station in 2023, JR trains were delayed. I didn't want to wait outside, so I went to DOUTOR inside the ticket gate where you can drink alcohol indoors. While single items are cheap, the "Tipsy Set" is a better deal if you plan to have two drinks. It costs 900 yen for 2 drinks and a choice of snacks. The beer was poured skillfully into a classic tumbler, clear and delicious. For snacks, you can choose from three options in the "B Set" - prosciutto, smoked salmon, or shrimp and shiso leaf sandwich fillings that go well with the drinks. The second drink was YEBISU in a glass, not as classic as the first one but a milder Premium Black. There were 3 minutes left until the JR train arrived, so I was able to make good use of the waiting time. It was a satisfying meal.

I had some time before my meeting, so I decided to visit Doutor, which is always near the station. In the past, many Doutor cafes allowed smoking, but now they are all non-smoking, which is a relief. It's so cold outside! I waited in line for a little while, but finally got inside to order a hot drink. The staff was taking their time, but the hot cocoa I ordered was worth the wait. It was rich and creamy, perfect for winter. I enjoyed my drink in a cozy corner of the cafe, which had both single seats and tables for four. I was surprised to see that Doutor now serves alcohol as well. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

From early in the morning at Sapporo Station. It's still early, so today's breakfast is from Doutor. It's not very spacious, but there are a lot of people coming in and out. I feel like there are a lot of foreigners. I wish Doutor's Royal Milk Tea had a bit stronger tea leaves. It might warm me up since it's cold. But it's a bit restless here... (laughs)

My 8-night, 9-day trip back home to Sapporo flew by quickly, and now I'm heading back on the express airport train from Sapporo Station. The inside of the ticket gates was too cold, so I made an emergency stop at Doutor. I ordered the luxurious Hojicha Latte made with first-grade tea from Kyoto Prefecture. The Hojicha Latte had a rich flavor with a fragrant aroma and a slightly bitter taste, which was very satisfying. It warmed up my chilled body and was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the Doutor Coffee located inside JR Sapporo Station in September 2022. Even if you don't use JR, you can enter by purchasing a 200 yen ticket. I had been wanting to visit this standing soba noodle restaurant for a while, so I stopped by here after my meal. I ordered an iced coffee. The iced coffee here is mild and has a refreshing aftertaste, which I like.

The Obon holiday in Sapporo ended in the blink of an eye, and for breakfast, I went to Soba Kikou inside Sapporo Station, only to find out that it opened at 11 am that day. So, I went to the Doutor Coffee next door. The cafe had a normal layout with narrow seating spaces. They had a morning menu, but it didn't include the lettuce dog, so I ordered it separately. - Lettuce Dog (265 yen) - Iced Coffee (275 yen) The lettuce dog had a great combination of crispy lettuce, sausage, and mustard sauce, which was very delicious! The iced coffee was reasonably priced and tasted good. It was my first time at Doutor, and I was quite impressed. Thank you for the meal.

The stable Milan sandwich. Used Docomo points. It's very inconvenient because there are no shops outside the ticket gates at Sapporo Station. This year, there are four types of Kalbi sandwiches in addition to the original Milan sandwich. However, I chose the original one. When I want to eat meat, I go to a fast food restaurant. The customer service is neither good nor bad. The store is small. Unfortunately, my favorite Ume Green Tea is not being sold this year.

- Strawberry Pyramid Cake: This is a limited-time item. The cake has strawberry chocolate around it, with strawberry jam inside a cheesecake mousse, and matcha sponge cake at the bottom. It was quite delicious. Doutor's cakes are of high quality. The Strawberry Almond Frappe tasted similar to the sakura flavored one. I always think that maybe whipped cream is not necessary. On top, there were crispy rice crackers, and at the bottom, there were chunks of almond jelly. I think I'll take a break from Doutor's limited-time items for a while. Next time, I want to try their sandwiches. Thank you for the meal.

Wandering new curry mania / rookie ramen mania, a solo middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review by the old man. If you want concise information about the restaurant and food, please move on to other people's reviews around here. After eating ramen, my throat was a bit dry. So, before heading home, let's stop by here. I also have some deposit balance. When I arrived at the store, I was greeted by decorations of "full bloom pink". Huh? "Cherry Blossom Fair" ... It's still a long way off in Hokkaido, but it seems like Tokyo has been having warm days. When I was in Tokyo, around mid-March, the cold wind would subside, and warm days would increase, and by the end of March, it wouldn't get cold at night. I would feel like taking a leisurely stroll, intoxicated by the fully bloomed Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms where you couldn't see the branches. This was a new sensation for Hokkaido residents. In Sapporo, cherry blossoms (Ezo Yamazakura) usually bloom around the beginning of Golden Week and are in full bloom by the middle of Golden Week. This year, they are forecasted to bloom before Golden Week. This season, with cold days and heavy snow, makes us long even more for a warm and bright spring. Not just cherry blossoms, but also plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, shibazakura, crocus, and narcissus will all bloom at once, adding "various colors" to the "ash-colored scenery". Azaleas might be a bit delayed. (At the old man's parents' house, though) Now, Doutor's "Cherry Blossom Fair" not only had cherry blossom-themed drinks but also a variety of cherry blossom-themed sweets. On this day, I went to take care of necessary procedures based on the content of a certain large company's website, but it seems that the website's content was insufficient and "misleading". I double-checked at two places just to be sure. Huh? What's going on? Oh well, even if I struggle, the situation doesn't change. Oh well. I was also thirsty, but I wanted to relax by eating some sweets. So, I'll try the set menu. Cake set: Ice Cafe Latte (M) and Sakura Mont Blanc, along with a chewy sakura dorayaki, for a total of 1,014 yen including tax. The service was quite cool. The service seemed to soften a bit when the next customer came in. Oh well, maybe they just don't like me... Why? I ordered and it was served in about 3 minutes. The cakes are kept in a case next to the cash register. I didn't usually order them, so I wasn't looking at them. They took them out for me. For the dorayaki, I had to take it myself from the tray in front. The previous customer was a solo male and a group of two women. The next customer was two solo males. For takeout, there was a group of two women and a group of three men and women. The seats in the store are separated, which is nice. I refreshed my dry mouth with the Ice Cafe Latte. I drank almost half of it in one go. Well, the taste was the usual. Now, let's try the "Sakura Mont Blanc". It's slightly crooked in shape. A cute visual. According to Doutor's website, it has a pie crust with a moist cherry and strawberry filling baked on top, topped with sakura whipped cream, wrapped with sakura Mont Blanc cream around it, and sprinkled with cherry blossom crunch on top. I hadn't checked the website at the store yet, so I started by cutting it to understand its composition. Huh? The pie crust was unexpectedly thick and hard to cut. The shallow cup-like pie crust contained a cherry and strawberry filling that was like a pound cake, or rather like making country ma'am softer, with a cherry blossom and strawberry flavor. I thought it was a cherry blossom flavor, but there was another taste... Is it strawberry flavored? The whipped cream had a cherry blossom flavor alone. Not too light, not too heavy, just the right richness. This cream and the cherry blossom and strawberry filling made the cake...

This is the Doutor Coffee Shop located inside Sapporo Station. It seems that smoking is not allowed here. It's very convenient for killing time after passing through the ticket gates. I had a medium-sized hot soy latte.
