グルメハンター・酔いどれ天使
7th floor of To Building, Minami 3-jo Nishi 3-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido. Located one block north of Susukino 36, facing the one-way street called Miyako-dori in Chuo-ku, Sapporo City. Take the elevator to the 5th floor. Walk to the back and you'll find the restaurant. Surprisingly understated entrance with a white noren curtain in front of the door, revealing the emblem of the restaurant when flipped. There are signs outside the store indicating the opening hours, no photography allowed inside, and information about drinks and dishes. Inside, the atmosphere is like an elegant adult space with gently curved counter seats and tables on the opposite side. Warm indirect lighting creates a cozy ambiance. Customers include solo elderly men, groups of two men, and couples. It's a popular spot, with groups of three also coming in later. The owner of the restaurant, who used to work at the renowned BAR Yamazaki in Sapporo, has opened this place independently. Another staff member manages another location while female staff run this place with a total of three staff members. Some of the recommended cocktails include the Shine Muscat cocktail, a simple fruit cocktail with vodka and a hint of elderflower liqueur. The Blue Lady cocktail is a blue version of the White Lady, made with gin and a dry finish. The Blue Cheese cocktail, an original creation of the owner, features Hokkaido's Niseko blue cheese and GODIVA liqueur, offering a sweet and elegant taste with a hint of blue cheese aroma. The Charm cocktail includes small mozzarella with basil and nuts in Genovese sauce, as well as cream cheese and salmon. The menu also offers a variety of cocktails with fresh fruits and some original creations with Japanese ingredients. Unfortunately, smoking is allowed in the restaurant, which may affect the overall experience. Overall, the quality of the cocktails is high. Upon leaving, one staff member saw us off to the entrance.
